from b4n1web import AgentBrowser, BrowserMode

# Light mode - fastest
browser = AgentBrowser(mode=BrowserMode.LIGHT)
page = browser.goto("https://example.com")
print(page.markdown)
print(f"Found {len(page.links)} links")
browser.close()

# JS mode - extract scripts
browser = AgentBrowser(mode=BrowserMode.JS)
page = browser.goto("https://example.com")
browser.close()

# Render mode - full Chromium (requires chromium install)
# browser = AgentBrowser(mode=BrowserMode.RENDER)
# page = browser.goto("https://example.com")
# print(page.screenshot)  # base64 screenshot

Context Manager

with AgentBrowser() as browser:
    page = browser.goto("https://example.com")
    print(page.markdown)

Page Object

page.url          # str: final URL
page.markdown     # str: page content as markdown
page.links        # list[str]: all links on page
page.screenshot   # str|None: base64 screenshot (render mode)

LIGHT HTTP fetch + HTML parsing ~15MB Instant
JS Light + JavaScript extraction ~15MB Instant
RENDER Full Chromium + screenshots ~100MB ~2s

Security

from b4n1web.security import SecurityShield

shield = SecurityShield()
shield.mark_domain("evil.com", is_safe=False)
is_safe, needs_api = shield.is_url_safe("https://evil.com/page")
# (False, False)

MCP Integration

from b4n1web.mcp import AsyncMcpClient

async with AsyncMcpClient() as client:
    page = await client.goto("https://example.com")
    print(page.markdown)

b4n1web mcp -p 8080

from b4n1web import BinaryNotFoundError

try:
