## 原文
# Browser Automation with browser-use CLI
The `browser-use` command provides fast, persistent browser automation. A background daemon keeps the browser open across commands, giving ~50ms latency per call.
## Prerequisites
```bash
browser-use doctor # Verify installation
```
For setup details, see https://github.com/browser-use/browser-use/blob/main/browser_use/skill_cli/README.md
## Core Workflow
1. **Navigate**: `browser-use open <url>` — starts browser if needed
2. **Inspect**: `browser-use state` — returns clickable elements with indices
3. **Interact**: use indices from state (`browser-use click 5`, `browser-use input 3 "text"`)
4. **Verify**: `browser-use state` or `browser-use screenshot` to confirm
5. **Repeat**: browser stays open between commands
6. **Cleanup**: `browser-use close` when done
## Browser Modes
```bash
browser-use open <url> # Default: headless Chromium
browser-use --headed open <url> # Visible window
browser-use --profile "Default" open <url> # Real Chrome with Default profile (existing logins/cookies)
browser-use --profile "Profile 1" open <url> # Real Chrome with named profile
browser-use --connect open <url> # Auto-discover running Chrome via CDP
browser-use --cdp-url ws://localhost:9222/... open <url> # Connect via CDP URL
```
`--connect`, `--cdp-url`, and `--profile` are mutually exclusive.
## Commands
```bash
# Navigation
browser-use open <url> # Navigate to URL
browser-use back # Go back in history
browser-use scroll down # Scroll down (--amount N for pixels)
browser-use scroll up # Scroll up
browser-use switch <tab> # Switch to tab by index
browser-use close-tab [tab] # Close tab (current if no index)
# Page State — always run state first to get element indices
browser-use state # URL, title, clickable elements with indices
browser-use screenshot [path.png] # Screenshot (base64 if no path, --full for full page)
# Interactions — use indices from state
browser-use click <index> # Click element by index
browser-use click <x> <y> # Click at pixel coordinates
browser-use type "text" # Type into focused element
browser-use input <index> "text" # Click element, then type
browser-use keys "Enter" # Send keyboard keys (also "Control+a", etc.)
browser-use select <index> "option" # Select dropdown option
browser-use upload <index> <path> # Upload file to file input
browser-use hover <index> # Hover over element
browser-use dblclick <index> # Double-click element
browser-use rightclick <index> # Right-click element
# Data Extraction
browser-use eval "js code" # Execute JavaScript, return result
browser-use get title # Page title
browser-use get html [--selector "h1"] # Page HTML (or scoped to selector)
browser-use get text <index> # Element text content
browser-use get value <index> # Input/textarea value
browser-use get attributes <index> # Element attributes
browser-use get bbox <index> # Bounding box (x, y, width, height)
# Wait
browser-use wait selector "css" # Wait for element (--state visible|hidden|attached|detached, --timeout ms)
browser-use wait text "text" # Wait for text to appear
# Cookies
browser-use cookies get [--url <url>] # Get cookies (optionally filtered)
browser-use cookies set <name> <value> # Set cookie (--domain, --secure, --http-only, --same-site, --expires)
browser-use cookies clear [--url <url>] # Clear cookies
browser-use cookies export <file> # Export to JSON
browser-use cookies import <file> # Import from JSON
# Python — persistent session with browser access
browser-use python "code" # Execute Python (variables persist across calls)
browser-use python --file script.py # Run file
browser-use python --vars # Show defined variables
browser-use python --reset # Clear namespace
# Session
browser-use close # Close browser and stop daemon
browser-use sessions # List active sessions
browser-use close --all # Close all sessions
```
The Python `browser` object provides: `browser.url`, `browser.title`, `browser.html`, `browser.goto(url)`, `browser.back()`, `browser.click(index)`, `browser.type(text)`, `browser.input(index, text)`, `browser.keys(keys)`, `browser.upload(index, path)`, `browser.screenshot(path)`, `browser.scroll(direction, amount)`, `browser.wait(seconds)`.
## Cloud API
```bash
browser-use cloud connect # Provision cloud browser and connect
browser-use cloud connect --timeout 120 --proxy-country US # With options
browser-use cloud login <api-key> # Save API key (or set BROWSER_USE_API_KEY)
browser-use cloud logout # Remove API key
browser-use cloud v2 GET /browsers # REST passthrough (v2 or v3)
browser-use cloud v2 POST /tasks '{"task":"...","url":"..."}'
browser-use cloud v2 poll <task-id> # Poll task until done
browser-use cloud v2 --help # Show API endpoints
```
`cloud connect` provisions a cloud browser, connects via CDP, and prints a live URL. `browser-use close` disconnects AND stops the cloud browser.
## Tunnels
```bash
browser-use tunnel <port> # Start Cloudflare tunnel (idempotent)
browser-use tunnel list # Show active tunnels
browser-use tunnel stop <port> # Stop tunnel
browser-use tunnel stop --all # Stop all tunnels
```
## Profile Management
```bash
browser-use profile list # List detected browsers and profiles
browser-use profile sync --all # Sync profiles to cloud
browser-use profile update # Download/update profile-use binary
```
## Command Chaining
Commands can be chained with `&&`. The browser persists via the daemon, so chaining is safe and efficient.
```bash
browser-use open https://example.com && browser-use state
browser-use input 5 "user@example.com" && browser-use input 6 "password" && browser-use click 7
```
Chain when you don't need intermediate output. Run separately when you need to parse `state` to discover indices first.
## Common Workflows
### Authenticated Browsing
When a task requires an authenticated site (Gmail, GitHub, internal tools), use Chrome profiles:
```bash
browser-use profile list # Check available profiles
# Ask the user which profile to use, then:
browser-use --profile "Default" open https://github.com # Already logged in
```
### Connecting to Existing Chrome
```bash
browser-use --connect open https://example.com # Auto-discovers Chrome's CDP endpoint
```
Requires Chrome with remote debugging enabled. Falls back to probing ports 9222/9229.
### Exposing Local Dev Servers
```bash
browser-use tunnel 3000 # → https://abc.trycloudflare.com
browser-use open https://abc.trycloudflare.com # Browse the tunnel
```
## Global Options
| Option | Description |
|--------|-------------|
| `--headed` | Show browser window |
| `--profile [NAME]` | Use real Chrome (bare `--profile` uses "Default") |
| `--connect` | Auto-discover running Chrome via CDP |
| `--cdp-url <url>` | Connect via CDP URL (`http://` or `ws://`) |
| `--session NAME` | Target a named session (default: "default") |
| `--json` | Output as JSON |
| `--mcp` | Run as MCP server via stdin/stdout |
## Tips
1. **Always run `state` first** to see available elements and their indices
2. **Use `--headed` for debugging** to see what the browser is doing
3. **Sessions persist**
