# Browser Automation with agent-browser
> **⚠️ Prerequisite**: This module requires the `agent-browser` CLI tool.
> Ensure it is installed in your environment before using:
> `npm install -g @vercel/agent-browser` (or equivalent)
## Quick start
```bash
agent-browser open <url> # Navigate to page
agent-browser snapshot -i # Get interactive elements with refs
agent-browser click @e1 # Click element by ref
agent-browser fill @e2 "text" # Fill input by ref
agent-browser close # Close browser
```
## Core workflow
1. Navigate: `agent-browser open <url>`
2. Snapshot: `agent-browser snapshot -i` (returns elements with refs like `@e1`, `@e2`)
3. Interact using refs from the snapshot
4. Re-snapshot after navigation or significant DOM changes
## Commands
### Navigation
```bash
agent-browser open <url> # Navigate to URL
agent-browser back # Go back
agent-browser forward # Go forward
agent-browser reload # Reload page
agent-browser close # Close browser
```
### Snapshot (page analysis)
```bash
agent-browser snapshot # Full accessibility tree
agent-browser snapshot -i # Interactive elements only (recommended)
agent-browser snapshot -c # Compact output
agent-browser snapshot -d 3 # Limit depth to 3
```
### Interactions (use @refs from snapshot)
```bash
agent-browser click @e1 # Click
agent-browser dblclick @e1 # Double-click
agent-browser fill @e2 "text" # Clear and type
agent-browser type @e2 "text" # Type without clearing
agent-browser press Enter # Press key
agent-browser press Control+a # Key combination
agent-browser hover @e1 # Hover
agent-browser check @e1 # Check checkbox
agent-browser uncheck @e1 # Uncheck checkbox
agent-browser select @e1 "value" # Select dropdown
agent-browser scroll down 500 # Scroll page
agent-browser scrollintoview @e1 # Scroll element into view
```
### Get information
```bash
agent-browser get text @e1 # Get element text
agent-browser get value @e1 # Get input value
agent-browser get title # Get page title
agent-browser get url # Get current URL
```
### Screenshots
```bash
agent-browser screenshot # Screenshot to stdout
agent-browser screenshot path.png # Save to file
agent-browser screenshot --full # Full page
```
### Wait
```bash
agent-browser wait @e1 # Wait for element
agent-browser wait 2000 # Wait milliseconds
agent-browser wait --text "Success" # Wait for text
agent-browser wait --load networkidle # Wait for network idle
```
### Semantic locators (alternative to refs)
```bash
agent-browser find role button click --name "Submit"
agent-browser find text "Sign In" click
agent-browser find label "Email" fill "user@test.com"
```
## Example: Form submission
```bash
agent-browser open https://example.com/form
agent-browser snapshot -i
# Output shows: textbox "Email" [ref=e1], textbox "Password" [ref=e2], button "Submit" [ref=e3]
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
```
## Example: Authentication with saved state
```bash
# Login once
agent-browser open https://app.example.com/login
agent-browser snapshot -i
agent-browser fill @e1 "username"
agent-browser fill @e2 "password"
agent-browser click @e3
agent-browser wait --url "**/dashboard"
agent-browser state save auth.json
# Later sessions: load saved state
agent-browser state load auth.json
agent-browser open https://app.example.com/dashboard
```
## Sessions (parallel browsers)
```bash
agent-browser --session test1 open site-a.com
agent-browser --session test2 open site-b.com
agent-browser session list
```
## JSON output (for parsing)
Add `--json` for machine-readable output:
```bash
agent-browser snapshot -i --json
agent-browser get text @e1 --json
```
## Debugging
```bash
agent-browser open example.com --headed # Show browser window
agent-browser console # View console messages
agent-browser errors # View page errors
```
