FAQ

Questions about Get Debug URL.

What does the Get Debug URL action do in Browserbase?
Returns the short-lived live-viewer URL for an in-flight session. Open in a browser to watch the headless Chromium in real time — useful for debugging "why did the scrape break" or "what did the agent actually see" mysteries.
What inputs does Get Debug URL require?
Required: Session ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
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 workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does Get Debug URL support batch operations?
Yes. Run Get Debug URL inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Browserbase's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
