Connect via CDP URL

Connect to any remote browser using Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP): 
from openbrowser import Agent, Browser, ChatGoogle

# Connect to a remote browser via CDP URL
browser = Browser(
    cdp_url="http://remote-server:9222"
)

agent = Agent(
    task="Your task here",
    llm=ChatGoogle(),
    browser=browser,
)

​
Start Chrome with Remote Debugging

To enable CDP on a local or remote Chrome instance: 
# macOS
/Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google\ Chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

# Linux
google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222

# Windows
chrome.exe --remote-debugging-port=9222

​
Third-Party Cloud Browsers

You can use any cloud browser service that provides a CDP URL:
  • Browserless - cdp_url="wss://chrome.browserless.io?token=YOUR_TOKEN"
  • BrowserStack - Connect via their CDP endpoint
  • LambdaTest - Connect via their CDP endpoint
  • Any Docker-based Chrome - Run headless Chrome in a container

​
Proxy Connection

from openbrowser import Agent, Browser, ChatGoogle
from openbrowser.browser import ProxySettings

browser = Browser(
    headless=False,
    proxy=ProxySettings(
        server="http://proxy-server:8080",
        username="proxy-user",
        password="proxy-pass"
    ),
    cdp_url="http://remote-server:9222"
)

agent = Agent(
    task="Your task here",
    llm=ChatGoogle(),
    browser=browser,
)

​
Docker Setup

Run Chrome in a Docker container: 
FROM zenika/alpine-chrome:latest

# Expose CDP port
EXPOSE 9222

# Start Chrome with remote debugging
CMD ["chromium-browser", "--headless", "--disable-gpu", "--remote-debugging-address=0.0.0.0", "--remote-debugging-port=9222"]

docker build -t chrome-cdp .
docker run -p 9222:9222 chrome-cdp
Then connect: 
browser = Browser(cdp_url="http://localhost:9222")
