Production Deployment

Overview

The @sandbox decorator makes production deployment effortless:

✅ Zero infrastructure - No servers to manage
✅ Automatic scaling - Handle millions of agents
✅ Persistent auth - Cloud profile sync
✅ Global proxies - Bypass captchas and geo-restrictions
✅ Live monitoring - Watch agents in real-time

Sandboxes run your code right next to the browser for minimal latency and maximum performance.

Quick Start

Get API Key

export BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your_key_here

Wrap Your Function

Add @sandbox() decorator to any function:

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
import asyncio

@sandbox()
async def my_task(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Find the top post on Hacker News",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    await agent.run()

# Just call it - runs in production!
asyncio.run(my_task())

The function must have browser: Browser as first parameter. Do NOT pass browser when calling.

Watch Live

When your code runs, you’ll see:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👁️  LIVE BROWSER VIEW (Click to watch)
🔗 https://cloud.browser-use.com/live/abc123
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Click the link to watch your agent work in real-time!

Authentication with Cloud Profiles

Sync Local Cookies to Cloud

Make your local browser sessions available in production:

Run Sync Script

export BROWSER_USE_API_KEY=your_key && curl -fsSL https://browser-use.com/profile.sh | sh

This opens a browser where you login to your accounts. Takes 2 minutes.

Get Profile ID

After logging in, you’ll receive a profile_id like:

✅ Profile created: abc123-def456-ghi789

Or find it at cloud.browser-use.com/dashboard/settings?tab=profiles

Use in Production

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
import asyncio

@sandbox(cloud_profile_id='abc123-def456-ghi789')
async def authenticated_task(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Check my GitHub notifications",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    result = await agent.run()
    return result.final_result()

result = asyncio.run(authenticated_task())
print(result)

Your cloud browser is already logged in to all synced accounts!

Global Proxies

Bypass captchas, Cloudflare, and geo-restrictions:

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
import asyncio

@sandbox(
    cloud_proxy_country_code='us',  # Route through US proxy
)
async def bypass_restrictions(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Access US-only content on example.com",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    await agent.run()

asyncio.run(bypass_restrictions())

Supported Countries:

us - United States
uk - United Kingdom
fr - France
it - Italy
jp - Japan
au - Australia
de - Germany
fi - Finland
ca - Canada
in - India

Proxies are optimized for browser automation - they handle captchas, fingerprinting, and bot detection automatically.

Session Timeouts

Control how long browsers stay alive:

@sandbox(
    cloud_timeout=60,  # Keep browser alive for 60 minutes
)
async def long_running_task(browser: Browser):
    # Your task here
    pass

Timeout Limits:

Free users: Max 15 minutes
Paid users: Max 240 minutes (4 hours)

Longer timeouts consume more credits. Optimize your tasks to complete quickly.

Production Patterns

Basic Production Task

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
from typing import List
import asyncio

class ProductData:
    def __init__(self, name: str, price: float, url: str):
        self.name = name
        self.price = price
        self.url = url

@sandbox(
    cloud_profile_id='your-profile-id',
    cloud_proxy_country_code='us',
)
async def scrape_products(browser: Browser, category: str, limit: int) -> List[ProductData]:
    """
    Scrape products from e-commerce site.
    
    Args:

        category: Product category to scrape
        limit: Max products to extract
    
    Returns:
        List of product data
    """
    agent = Agent(
        task=f"""
        1. Go to shop.com
        2. Navigate to {category} category
        3. Extract first {limit} products with name, price, and URL
        """,
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    
    result = await agent.run()
    
    # Parse and return structured data
    import json
    data = json.loads(result.final_result())
    return [ProductData(**item) for item in data['products']]

# Call with parameters
products = asyncio.run(scrape_products(
    category='electronics',
    limit=50
))

print(f"Scraped {len(products)} products")

Parallel Execution

import asyncio
from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent

@sandbox(cloud_proxy_country_code='us')
async def check_website(browser: Browser, url: str) -> dict:
    agent = Agent(
        task=f"Go to {url} and check if it's accessible",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    result = await agent.run()
    return {'url': url, 'accessible': result.is_successful()}

async def monitor_websites():
    urls = [
        'https://site1.com',
        'https://site2.com',
        'https://site3.com',
    ]
    
    # Run all checks in parallel
    results = await asyncio.gather(*[
        check_website(url=url) for url in urls
    ])
    
    return results

results = asyncio.run(monitor_websites())
print(results)

Error Handling

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
from browser_use.sandbox.views import SandboxError
import asyncio

@sandbox(
    cloud_profile_id='your-profile-id',
    cloud_proxy_country_code='us',
    cloud_timeout=30,
)
async def robust_task(browser: Browser, max_retries: int = 3) -> dict:
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:

            result = await agent.run()
            
            if result.is_successful():
                return {'success': True, 'data': result.final_result()}
            
            # Retry on failure
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                await asyncio.sleep(2 ** attempt)  # Exponential backoff
                continue
            
            return {'success': False, 'error': 'Max failures reached'}
        
        except SandboxError as e:
            if attempt < max_retries - 1:
                print(f"Attempt {attempt + 1} failed: {e}. Retrying...")
                await asyncio.sleep(2 ** attempt)
            else:
                return {'success': False, 'error': str(e)}
    
    return {'success': False, 'error': 'All retries exhausted'}

result = asyncio.run(robust_task())
print(result)

Scheduled Tasks

import asyncio
from datetime import datetime
from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent

@sandbox(cloud_profile_id='your-profile-id')
async def daily_report(browser: Browser) -> str:
    """
    Run daily report generation.
    Deploy with cron or scheduler service.
    """
    agent = Agent(
        task="""
        1. Login to analytics dashboard
        2. Extract yesterday's metrics
        3. Save to daily_report.csv
        """,
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    
    result = await agent.run()
    
    # Send notification
    timestamp = datetime.now().isoformat()
    return f"Report generated at {timestamp}: {result.final_result()}"

# In production, schedule with:
# - AWS EventBridge
# - Google Cloud Scheduler
# - Cron job
# - Celery Beat

if __name__ == '__main__':
    report = asyncio.run(daily_report())
    print(report)

Monitoring and Callbacks

Live Browser Monitoring

from browser_use import Browser, sandbox, ChatBrowserUse
from browser_use.agent.service import Agent
from browser_use.sandbox.views import BrowserCreatedData
import asyncio

LIVE_URL = None

async def save_live_url(data: BrowserCreatedData):
    """Called when browser is created"""
    global LIVE_URL
    LIVE_URL = data.live_url
    print(f"Browser live at: {LIVE_URL}")
    
    # Send to your monitoring system
    # await send_to_slack(LIVE_URL)
    # await log_to_datadog({'live_url': LIVE_URL})

@sandbox(
    cloud_profile_id='your-profile-id',
    on_browser_created=save_live_url,
)
async def monitored_task(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Your task here",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    await agent.run()

asyncio.run(monitored_task())

Execution Callbacks

from browser_use.sandbox.views import LogData, ResultData, ErrorData
import asyncio

logs = []

async def handle_log(data: LogData):
    """Called for each log message"""
    logs.append({'level': data.level, 'message': data.message})
    
    if 'error' in data.message.lower():
        # Alert on errors
        print(f"⚠️ Error detected: {data.message}")

async def handle_result(data: ResultData):
    """Called when execution completes"""
    print(f"✅ Task completed successfully")
    print(f"Result: {data.execution_response.result}")

async def handle_error(data: ErrorData):
    """Called on fatal errors"""
    print(f"❌ Fatal error: {data.error}")
    # Send alert to monitoring system

@sandbox(
    on_log=handle_log,
    on_result=handle_result,
    on_error=handle_error,
)
async def task_with_monitoring(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Your task",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    await agent.run()

asyncio.run(task_with_monitoring())
print(f"Collected {len(logs)} log messages")

Quiet Mode

Disable console output:

@sandbox(
    quiet=True,  # No console output
)
async def silent_task(browser: Browser):
    # Your task here
    pass

Environment Variables

Pass secrets and config to sandbox:

import os

@sandbox(
    # Pass environment variables
    DATABASE_URL=os.getenv('DATABASE_URL'),
    API_KEY=os.getenv('API_KEY'),
    ENV='production',
)
async def task_with_env(browser: Browser):
    # Access env vars inside sandbox
    import os
    db_url = os.getenv('DATABASE_URL')
    api_key = os.getenv('API_KEY')
    
    # Your task using these values
    agent = Agent(
        task=f"Your task",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
    )
    await agent.run()

Cost Optimization

Use Flash Mode

@sandbox(cloud_proxy_country_code='us')
async def fast_task(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Quick data extraction",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
        flash_mode=True,  # 2-3x faster, lower cost
    )
    await agent.run()

Minimize Browser Time

@sandbox(cloud_timeout=15)  # Minimum timeout
async def optimized_task(browser: Browser):
    agent = Agent(
        task="Your task",
        browser=browser,
        llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
        max_steps=20,  # Limit steps
    )
    await agent.run()

Batch Operations

@sandbox(cloud_proxy_country_code='us')
async def batch_scrape(browser: Browser, urls: list[str]):
    """Scrape multiple URLs in one session"""
    results = []
    
    for url in urls:
        agent = Agent(
            task=f"Go to {url} and extract title",
            browser=browser,  # Reuse same browser
            llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
        )
        result = await agent.run()
        results.append(result.final_result())
    
    return results

# Scrape 10 sites in one sandbox session
results = asyncio.run(batch_scrape(urls=[
    'https://site1.com',
    'https://site2.com',
    # ... more URLs
]))

Best Practices

Keep Sessions Short

# Good - Complete task quickly
@sandbox(cloud_timeout=15)
async def quick_task(browser: Browser):
    # Focused, specific task
    pass

# Avoid - Long-running sessions cost more
@sandbox(cloud_timeout=240)
async def slow_task(browser: Browser):
    # Inefficient, wandering task
    pass

Use Cloud Profiles for Auth

# Good - Persistent authentication
@sandbox(cloud_profile_id='your-id')
async def authenticated_task(browser: Browser):
    # Already logged in, fast execution
    pass

# Avoid - Login every time
async def slow_login_task(browser: Browser):
    # Waste time logging in each run
    pass

Handle Errors Gracefully

@sandbox()
async def robust_task(browser: Browser):
    try:
        agent = Agent(
            task="Your task",
            browser=browser,
            llm=ChatBrowserUse(),
            max_failures=3,  # Built-in retry
        )
        result = await agent.run()
        return result
    except Exception as e:
        # Log error, send alert
        print(f"Error: {e}")
        return None
