How do I create a Browserbase session?

Short answer: You can create browser session in Browserbase by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Browserbase Create Browser Session action to a workflow, map its 4 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ

Questions about Create Browser Session.

What does the Create Browser Session action do in Browserbase?
Starts a new headless Chromium session. Returns a session ID, connect URL (for Playwright), and debug URL (live VNC viewer). Optional context_id to reuse a saved auth profile, optional proxies for residential routing.
What inputs does Create Browser Session require?
Create Browser Session has no required inputs. Sensible defaults are applied if you leave fields blank.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Browserbase returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Browserbase returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Create Browser Session support batch operations?
Run Create Browser Session inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Browserbase's rate limits.
