Browser Automation with agent-browser
The CLI uses Chrome/Chromium via CDP directly. Install via npm i -g agent-browser, brew install agent-browser, or cargo install agent-browser. Run agent-browser install to download Chrome. Run agent-browser upgrade to update to the latest version.
Core Workflow
Every browser automation follows this pattern:
- Navigate:
agent-browser open <url> - Snapshot:
agent-browser snapshot -i(get element refs like@e1,@e2) - Interact: Use refs to click, fill, select
- Re-snapshot: After navigation or DOM changes, get fresh refs
agent-browser open https://example.com/form
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output: @e1 [input type="email"], @e2 [input type="password"], @e3 [button] "Submit"
agent-browser fill @e1 "user@example.com"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password123"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --load networkidle
agent-browser snapshot -i # Check result
Command Chaining
Commands can be chained with && in a single shell invocation. The browser persists between commands via a background daemon, so chaining is safe and more efficient than separate calls.
