Connect a user's Browser Use account once, then configure and run Create Browser Session from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "browser_use-create-browser-session",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
browser_use: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
profileId: "Profile ID",
proxyCountryCode: "Proxy Country Code",
},
})

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
profileId Profile ID | string | Select a Browser Use profile or provide a profile ID. Optional Dynamic |
proxyCountryCode Proxy Country Code | string | Lowercase proxy country code for browser traffic. Examples: us, de, jp. Enter none to disable Browser Use's proxy. Optional |
timeout Timeout | integer | Session timeout in minutes. Browser Use supports 1 to 240 minutes. Optional |
browserScreenWidth Browser Screen Width | integer | Custom browser screen width in pixels. Supported range: 320 to 6144. Optional |
browserScreenHeight Browser Screen Height | integer | Custom browser screen height in pixels. Supported range: 320 to 3456. Optional |
allowResizing Allow Resizing | boolean | Whether to allow browser resizing during the session. Browser Use does not recommend this because it can reduce stealthiness. Optional |
customProxy Custom Proxy | object | Optional custom proxy object. Example: {"host":"proxy.example.com","port":8080,"username":"user","password":"pass"}. Custom proxies require an active subscription. Optional |
enableRecording Enable Recording | boolean | If true, records the browser session. Optional |
