Browserbase

What is the Browserbase tool?

The Browserbase tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to browser automation and scraping via browserbase. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This tool requires a BROWSERBASE_API_KEY environment variable. Get your API key at browserbase.com.

How to use Browserbase in Agno Builder

1. 1

   Create an agent

   Drag an Agent node onto the canvas in Agno Builder, or use one of the built-in templates.

2. 2

   Enable Browserbase

   Click the agent, go to the Tools tab, and toggle on "Browserbase" from the scraping category.

3. 3

   Add your API key

   Enter your BROWSERBASE_API_KEY in the tool configuration. Your key stays in your browser and is never stored on our servers.

4. 4

   Test in chat

   Open the chat panel and send a message. The agent will automatically use Browserbase when relevant.

5. 5

   Export Python code

   Click File > Export Python to get clean, runnable code with the correct imports for Browserbase.

Python code example

This is the code Agno Builder exports when you use Browserbase:

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat
from agno.tools.browserbase import BrowserbaseTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Browserbase Agent",
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-4o"),
    tools=[BrowserbaseTools()],
    instructions=["Use the browserbase tool to help the user."],
    markdown=True,
)

agent.print_response("Help me with a browserbase task")

Install with: pip install agno # + set BROWSERBASE_API_KEY
