Cloud browser
A browser session in the cloud that sites treat as a person. Automate it from code or an AI agent, look over its shoulder live, and step in yourself when a page asks for a human.
5 credits to start a session, then 1 per minute.
Read, then act
The page comes back as roles and names. You act on a reference, not a selector.

Four ways in
The same session answers to your code, your agent, Claude and your own hands, and you can switch between them while it runs.
One endpoint per action, or up to 25 actions in a single batch call.
POST /api/browser/sessions/{id}/batch57 browser tools for your own agent, behind a Scrappy API key.
POST /api/mcpForward Claude's browser-toolset calls and return the results as they are.
POST /api/browser/sessions/{id}/claude-toolsA live viewer you can click and type in, from a laptop or a phone.
POST /api/browser/sessions/{id}/viewer-tokenWhat a session can do
Logins, CAPTCHAs, uploads, downloads and dialogs are where automation usually stops. Each one has an answer here.
Capture a signed-in session as a profile and start the next one already signed in. Each profile keeps its own exit IP, so the site sees the same visitor from the same place. A webhook tells you the moment a site ends the login.
Open the viewer from a text message. One finger is the mouse, two fingers pan and zoom, and a keyboard button types into the page. Clear the sign-in wall and hand the session back to your agent.
Let Claude drive, and make clicks, typing, navigation or uploads wait for a person to approve or deny them.
Any session can record itself, whether or not someone is watching. Start, drive and stop the recording in one batch call.
Uploads come from your own file picker. Downloads stay with their session, and each one is announced as an event.
A challenge on a page your agent just opened is solved and the page carries on — reCAPTCHA, hCaptcha, Turnstile and the rest — inside a spend cap you set. A “Press & Hold” wall is the one nothing solves; take over and hold the button.
A native alert or confirm freezes a tab silently. The failed call names the dialog, you accept or dismiss it, and a tab that still will not answer can be replaced without losing the sign-in.
Wait for the page's own scripts to finish, for the network to go quiet, or for any condition you can write as a function.
Realism
Bot checks look for disagreement: a datacenter address, a headless flag, a clock in the wrong place. A session gives them nothing to disagree about.
Headless Chrome can be detected whatever is painted over it. Sessions run with a real window.
Traffic leaves from a home connection, not a datacenter range.
Each session takes its timezone and location from its exit IP, so the two never disagree.
Even when you drive from a phone, the page receives desktop input, so the fingerprint does not change mid-session.

Level on the basics. Alone in putting the residential proxy in the price, taking over from a phone, and running a lead pipeline on the same account.
