Browse AI API Documentation

This tag is used for endpoints that are used to check the status of Browse AI infrastructure

A robot can be trained do almost anything you do manually on the web. For example:

• Open a webpage,
• Log in,
• Click on buttons,
• Fill out forms,
• Extract structured data from a webpage into a spreadsheet,
• Take screenshots,
• Monitor specific parts of webpages for visual or content changes.

Robots are created either by using Prebuilt Robots or using Browse AI Recorder and its click-and-extract interface. Every robot has a few input parameters (like the webpage address) that you can adjust every time you run it.

Each robot is trained to perform a certain task. Every time you run that robot, it will perform that task and the details, including the extracted data, will be stored under that task.

If you set up a monitoring robot to monitor a webpage for changes daily, it will have to run a task every day or about 30 tasks per month for you.

Each robot on Browse AI can optionally have one or more monitors. Monitoring robots come with one monitor by default.

For example, if you set up a monitoring robot to monitor a category page on an e-commerce site for changes daily, you can set up additional monitors to monitor other category pages on the same site using the same robot.

Each monitor can have different input parameters and schedule.

After a robot finishes a task, its webhooks will be called.

You can run up to 50,000 tasks at once using a robot with different input parameters for each task.
