BrowserbaseTools enable an Agent to automate browser interactions using Browserbase, a headless browser service.

​
Prerequisites

The following example requires Browserbase API credentials after you signup here, and the Playwright library. 
pip install browserbase playwright
export BROWSERBASE_API_KEY=xxx
export BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID=xxx

​
Example

The following agent will use Browserbase to visit https://quotes.toscrape.com and extract content. Then navigate to page two of the website and get quotes from there as well.
cookbook/tools/browserbase_tools.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.browserbase import BrowserbaseTools

agent = Agent(
    name="Web Automation Assistant",
    tools=[BrowserbaseTools()],
    instructions=[
        "You are a web automation assistant that can help with:",
        "1. Capturing screenshots of websites",
        "2. Extracting content from web pages",
        "3. Monitoring website changes",
        "4. Taking visual snapshots of responsive layouts",
        "5. Automated web testing and verification",
    ],
    markdown=True,

agent.print_response("""
