The Browserhub API offers automation and control over browser sessions, enabling users to create, manipulate, and extract data from web pages programmatically. Integrating Browserhub with Pipedream opens a world of possibilities for automating web interaction workflows, monitoring website changes, scraping data, and testing web applications. Pipedream's serverless platform allows for easy orchestration of API calls and data handling, making it a powerful tool for developers to harness the capabilities of Browserhub in a scalable and efficient manner.
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
props: {
browserhub: {
type: "app",
app: "browserhub",
}
},
async run({steps, $}) {
return await axios($, {
url: `https://api.browserhub.io/v1/status`,
headers: {
Authorization: `Bearer ${this.browserhub.$auth.api_key}`,
},
})
},
})
Automated Data Scraping and Aggregation: Use Browserhub to navigate to specific web pages, extract relevant data, and then use Pipedream to process and store that data in a Google Sheet. This could be useful for market research, competitive analysis, or aggregating content from multiple sources.
Continuous Website Monitoring for Changes: Set up a Pipedream workflow that triggers Browserhub to periodically check a website for changes or updates. When changes are detected, Pipedream can send alerts via email or Slack, ensuring that stakeholders are promptly informed about critical updates.
Automated Browser-Based Testing: Leverage Browserhub's API to run automated tests on your web application. Pipedream can orchestrate different test scenarios, collect results, and report any issues via GitHub issues or Jira, facilitating a seamless CI/CD pipeline.

Browserhub uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Browserhub account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Browserhub APIs in both code and no-code steps.
