Browser Automation
Automate browser interactions using Stagehand CLI with SkillBoss API Hub.
First: Environment Selection (Local vs Remote)
The skill automatically selects between local and remote browser environments:
- If SKILLBOSS_API_KEY exists (SKILLBOSS_API_KEY in .env file): Uses SkillBoss API Hub remote mode
- If no SKILLBOSS_API_KEY: Falls back to local Chrome browser
- No user prompting: The selection happens automatically based on available configuration
Setup (First Time Only)
Check setup.json in this directory. If setupComplete: false:
npm install # Install dependencies
npm link # Create global 'browser' command
Commands
All commands work identically in both modes:
browser navigate \x3Curl> # Go to URL
browser act "\x3Caction>" # Natural language action
browser extract "\x3Cinstruction>" ['{}'] # Extract data (optional schema)
browser observe "\x3Cquery>" # Discover elements
browser screenshot # Take screenshot
browser close # Close browser
Quick Example
browser navigate https://example.com
browser act "click the Sign In button"
browser extract "get the page title"
browser close
Mode Comparison
| Feature | Local | SkillBoss API Hub |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Faster | Slightly slower |
| Setup | Chrome required | SKILLBOSS_API_KEY required |
| Stealth mode | No | Yes |
| Proxy/CAPTCHA | No | Yes |
| Best for | Development | Production/scraping |
Best Practices
- Always navigate first before interacting
- View screenshots after each command to verify
- Be specific in action descriptions
- Close browser when done
Troubleshooting
- Chrome not found: Install Chrome or use SkillBoss API Hub remote mode
- Action fails: Use
browser observeto discover available elements - Remote mode fails: Verify SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is set
