Browserless

Browserless is an open-source headless browser automation library and service built on top of Puppeteer that simplifies the process of running and scaling Chromium-based browser tasks in production environments. It provides a high-level API for interacting with headless Chrome, allowing developers to perform operations such as generating PDFs, capturing screenshots, extracting text or HTML, and automating web navigation. The project is designed to act as a production-ready abstraction layer over Puppeteer, offering improved reliability, error handling, and scalability for real-world applications. Browserless includes built-in optimizations such as request blocking, automatic retries, and sensible defaults that improve performance when processing web pages. It can be used as a standalone library, a command-line tool, or a hosted API service that scales browser instances on demand.
