The #1 cloud browser for AI workloads.
Highest stealth score of any cloud browser on Stealth Bench V1. Your agents browse protected sites without getting blocked. Pre-warmed sessions, built-in proxies, zero infrastructure.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser" const browser = new SpiderBrowser({ apiKey: process.env.SPIDER_API_KEY!, mode: "cua", }) await browser.init() await browser.page.goto("https://example.com") // AI agent completes tasks autonomously const result = await browser.agent({ maxRounds: 20 }) .execute("Find the cheapest flight to Tokyo") await browser.close()
Key Features
~4ms command latency
Pre-warmed browsers with zero cold start. Your first command executes in milliseconds, not seconds. No waiting for containers to spin up.
Pay only for what you use
$1/GB bandwidth, $0.001/min compute. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no hidden charges. Stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving are included.
99.9% success rate
Smart retry, stealth escalation, and automatic proxy rotation. Sessions recover on their own, even on heavily protected sites.
Your agents never get blocked
Spider scored 84.5% across 71 anti-bot tasks on Stealth Bench V1. That is the highest of any cloud browser tested. Browserbase scored 41.9%. Local headless Chrome scored 2.2%.

How it works
Three steps from install to production. No servers, no Docker, no browser management.
Connect a browser
Install the SDK and call init(). Spider provisions a pre-warmed browser in the cloud and returns a live session in milliseconds.
Navigate and interact
Use familiar APIs like goto(), act(), and extract() to control the browser. Stealth, proxies, and retries are handled automatically.
Get your data
Receive structured JSON, screenshots, or session recordings. Review every step, then close the session and pay only for what you used.
What you can build
One API for scraping, automation, extraction, and AI agent workflows.
Web scraping at scale
Scrape any site, even behind anti-bot protection. Stealth, proxy rotation, and CAPTCHA solving are automatic. Just point it at a URL and get clean data back.
Structured data extraction
Extract product listings, pricing, contact info, or any structured data. Use natural language prompts or typed schemas to get exactly what you need.
Browser automation
Automate login flows, form submissions, and multi-step workflows. Use plain English commands or standard browser APIs. No fragile selectors needed.
Price and change monitoring
Track prices, inventory, or content changes across any number of sites. Smart retry means you always get the data, even from unreliable pages.
AI agent browsing
Give your AI agent a real browser. The agent() API lets any LLM browse, click, fill forms, and complete multi-step tasks on its own.
Feed your data pipeline
Ingest JavaScript-heavy pages into RAG pipelines, data warehouses, or search indexes. Spider renders SPAs and returns clean, structured content.
Your language, same API
Official SDKs for TypeScript, Python, and Rust. Same API surface across all three.
import { SpiderBrowser } from "spider-browser" const b = new SpiderBrowser({ apiKey }) await b.init() await b.page.goto("https://example.com") const data = await b.extract("Get prices")
from spider_browser import SpiderBrowser async with SpiderBrowser(api_key=key) as b: await b.page.goto("https://example.com") data = await b.extract("Get prices")
use spider_browser::SpiderBrowser; let b = SpiderBrowser::new(api_key) .init().await?; b.goto("https://example.com").await?; let data = b.extract("Get prices").await?;
Why Spider Browser
Skip the infrastructure. Ship the agent.

Frequently asked questions
What is Spider Browser?
Spider Browser is a cloud browser API built for developers who need fast, reliable browser sessions without managing infrastructure. You get pre-warmed browsers on demand with built-in stealth, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and smart retry. Use it for web scraping, automation, data extraction, testing, or AI agent workflows.
How is Spider Browser different from Puppeteer or Playwright?
Puppeteer and Playwright require you to manage your own browser infrastructure: servers, Chrome versions, memory, scaling. Spider Browser gives you pre-warmed browsers in the cloud that are ready in milliseconds. Stealth, proxy rotation, CAPTCHA solving, and automatic retries are all handled for you. You write the logic, Spider handles everything else.
What can I use Spider Browser for?
Anything that needs a real browser. Common use cases include web scraping at scale, price monitoring, lead generation, competitive intelligence, automated testing, AI agent browsing, and data pipeline ingestion. If a site requires JavaScript rendering or login flows, Spider Browser handles it.
What programming languages are supported?
Spider Browser has official SDKs for TypeScript (npm install spider-browser), Python (pip install spider-browser), and Rust (cargo add spider-browser). All three share the same API surface: init, goto, act, observe, extract, and agent.
How does Spider Browser handle anti-bot protection?
Spider scored 84.5% on Stealth Bench V1, ranking #1 across all cloud browsers tested on 71 real anti-bot tasks. Stealth levels escalate automatically on failure, CAPTCHA solving is built in, and proxy rotation handles IP-based blocks. You do not need to configure anything. Just send your request and Spider handles the rest.
What does Spider Browser cost?
Pricing is simple: $1 per GB of bandwidth and $0.001 per minute of compute. No monthly minimum, no contracts. You pay only for what you use and get 500 free credits on sign-up with no credit card required. Stealth, proxies, and CAPTCHA solving are all included in the price.
How many concurrent sessions can I run?
Spider Browser supports up to 100 concurrent sessions with zero cold start. Each session runs on a pre-warmed browser instance, so there is no boot time. Combined with smart retry and automatic recovery, it is built for high-volume workloads on even the most protected sites.
Can AI agents use Spider Browser?
Yes. Spider Browser has built-in support for AI agent workflows. The agent() API lets any LLM browse, click, fill forms, and complete multi-step tasks autonomously. The act(), observe(), and extract() methods give agents fine-grained control using plain English commands.
