It wraps the REST API with full type hints and provides both sync and async clients powered by httpx. The library is generated with Stainless and includes TypedDict request parameters and Pydantic response models, enabling IDE autocomplete and type checking.\n\nTypical usage involves creating a client with an API key, then creating or managing browser sessions that can be controlled via Playwright. The library handles connection errors, rate limiting, and timeouts automatically, with configurable retries and timeout behavior. It supports file uploads, nested parameters, and detailed error handling with specific exception types for different HTTP status codes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to control remote browser sessions via the Browserbase service. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive license, and provides full type coverage. Install with caution if you are unsure whether you have valid Browserbase credentials and project setup, as the library requires API keys and project IDs to function."},"id":"browserbase","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/browserbase","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/browserbase.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/browserbase/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-12","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"browserbase","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"The official Python library for the Browserbase API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":5583660,"position":2068,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.16.0"}
