Cloud quickstart

BrowserPilot Cloud runs the browsers, the workers, and the scheduler for you. There is nothing to deploy — you just create runs.

1. Create an account

Sign up at /register. The free tier includes enough runs to take a task end to end — no credit card required.

2. Mint an API key

In the dashboard, open Settings → API Keys and create a key. Store it as an environment variable.

export BROWSERPILOT_API_KEY=your_key

3. Launch a run

Create your first run against the hosted API — the browser session is provisioned for you.

curl -X POST https://api.browserpilot.example/v1/runs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $BROWSERPILOT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{ "task": "Open example.com and report the page title" }'

4. Watch and collect

Open the run in the dashboard to watch the live session, or register a webhook to be notified the moment it finishes. From here, the Creating runs guide covers output contracts, cancellation, and recovery.
