Overview of Browserless

The Browserless API on Pipedream allows you to automate browser actions without the overhead of managing your own browser infrastructure. This service provides a way to run Chrome browser sessions programmatically, making it ideal for web scraping, automated testing, and screenshot capture. Leveraging this on Pipedream, you can create serverless workflows that interact with web pages, extract data, and perform actions as a human would, all in a scalable and efficient manner.
