Description
Documentation reference for using Browser Use Cloud — the hosted API and SDK for browser automation. Use this skill whenever the user needs help with the Cloud REST API (v2 or v3), browser-use-sdk (Python or TypeScript), X-Browser-Use-API-Key authentication, cloud sessions, browser profiles, profile sync, CDP WebSocket connections, stealth browsers, residential proxies, CAPTCHA handling, webhooks, workspaces, skills marketplace, liveUrl streaming, pricing, or integration patterns (chat UI, subagent, adding browser tools to existing agents). Also trigger for questions about n8n/Make/Zapier integration, Playwright/ Puppeteer/Selenium on cloud infrastructure, or 1Password vault integration. Do NOT use this for the open-source Python library (Agent, Browser, Tools config) — use the open-source skill instead.
