Hyperbrowser Python SDK

Checkout the full documentation here

Installation

Currently Hyperbrowser supports creating a browser session in two ways:

  • Async Client
  • Sync Client

It can be installed from pypi by running :

pip install hyperbrowser

Configuration

Both the sync and async client follow similar configuration params

API Key

The API key can be configured either from the constructor arguments or environment variables using HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY

If no API key is provided, the client falls back to a saved OAuth session created by hx auth login. By default it reads ~/.hx_config/auth/default.json, or ~/.hx_config/auth/<profile>.json when HYPERBROWSER_PROFILE or ClientConfig(profile=...) is set.

Profile names must match ^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$.

base_url and HYPERBROWSER_BASE_URL accept either https://host or https://host/api. The client normalizes both to the same control-plane base URL.

Usage

Async

import asyncio
from pyppeteer import connect
from hyperbrowser import AsyncHyperbrowser

HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY = "test-key"

async def main():
    async with AsyncHyperbrowser(api_key=HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY) as client:
        session = await client.sessions.create()

        ws_endpoint = session.ws_endpoint
        browser = await connect(browserWSEndpoint=ws_endpoint, defaultViewport=None)

        # Get pages
        pages = await browser.pages()
        if not pages:
            raise Exception("No pages available")

        page = pages[0]

        # Navigate to a website
        print("Navigating to Hacker News...")
        await page.goto("https://news.ycombinator.com/")
        page_title = await page.title()
        print("Page title:", page_title)

        await page.close()
        await browser.disconnect()
        await client.sessions.stop(session.id)
        print("Session completed!")

# Run the asyncio event loop
asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())

Sync

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser

HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY = "test-key"

def main():
    client = Hyperbrowser(api_key=HYPERBROWSER_API_KEY)
    session = client.sessions.create()

    ws_endpoint = session.ws_endpoint

    # Launch Playwright and connect to the remote browser
    with sync_playwright() as p:
        browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(ws_endpoint)
        context = browser.new_context()
        
        # Get the first page or create a new one
        if len(context.pages) == 0:
            page = context.new_page()
        else:
            page = context.pages[0]
        
        # Navigate to a website
        print("Navigating to Hacker News...")
        page.goto("https://news.ycombinator.com/")
        page_title = page.title()
        print("Page title:", page_title)
        
        page.close()
        browser.close()
        print("Session completed!")
    client.sessions.stop(session.id)

# Run the asyncio event loop
main()

Sandboxes

The sync and async clients expose the same sandbox APIs through client.sandboxes.

Create a sandbox with pre-exposed ports

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import CreateSandboxParams, SandboxExposeParams

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
sandbox = client.sandboxes.create(
    CreateSandboxParams(
        image_name="node",
        cpu=4,
        memory_mib=4096,
        disk_mib=8192,
        exposed_ports=[SandboxExposeParams(port=3000, auth=True)],
    )
)

print(sandbox.exposed_ports[0].browser_url)
print(sandbox.cpu, sandbox.memory_mib, sandbox.disk_mib)
sandbox.stop()
client.close()

cpu, memory_mib, and disk_mib are only supported for image launches.

Manage volumes and mount them in a sandbox

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import CreateSandboxParams, CreateVolumeParams, SandboxVolumeMount

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")

volume = client.volumes.create(CreateVolumeParams(name="project-cache"))
all_volumes = client.volumes.list()
same_volume = client.volumes.get(volume.id)

sandbox = client.sandboxes.create(
    CreateSandboxParams(
        image_name="node",
        mounts={
            "/workspace/cache": SandboxVolumeMount(
                id=same_volume.id,
                type="rw",
                shared=True,
            )
        },
    )
)

sandbox.stop()
client.close()

List sandboxes with filters

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import SandboxListParams

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
result = client.sandboxes.list(
    SandboxListParams(
        status="active",
        search="sandbox",
        start=1711929600000,
        end=1712016000000,
        limit=20,
    )
)

for sandbox in result.sandboxes:
    print(sandbox.id, sandbox.status)

List snapshots for a specific image

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import SandboxSnapshotListParams

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
snapshots = client.sandboxes.list_snapshots(
    SandboxSnapshotListParams(image_name="node", status="created", limit=10)
)

Expose and unexpose ports

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import CreateSandboxParams, SandboxExposeParams

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
sandbox = client.sandboxes.create(
    CreateSandboxParams(
        image_name="node", cpu=2, memory_mib=2048, disk_mib=8192
    )
)

result = sandbox.expose(SandboxExposeParams(port=8080, auth=True))
print(result.url, result.browser_url)

sandbox.unexpose(8080)

Batch file writes with per-file options

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import CreateSandboxParams, SandboxFileWriteEntry

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
sandbox = client.sandboxes.create(CreateSandboxParams(image_name="node"))

sandbox.files.write(
    [
        SandboxFileWriteEntry(
            path="/tmp/config.json",
            data='{"debug":true}\n',
            append=True,
            mode="600",
        ),
        SandboxFileWriteEntry(
            path="/tmp/blob.bin",
            data=b"\x00\x01\x02",
        ),
    ]
)

Resume terminal output after reconnect

from hyperbrowser import Hyperbrowser
from hyperbrowser.models import CreateSandboxParams, SandboxTerminalCreateParams

client = Hyperbrowser(api_key="test-key")
sandbox = client.sandboxes.create(CreateSandboxParams(image_name="node"))
terminal = sandbox.terminal.create(SandboxTerminalCreateParams(command="bash"))

connection = terminal.attach(cursor=10)
for event in connection.events():
    print(event)
