@roveapi/browser

Browser automation SDK for AI agents. Wraps the Rove API — Playwright-as-a-Service with accessibility trees for 77% fewer tokens.

Install

npm install @roveapi/browser

Quickstart

import { BrowserClient } from '@roveapi/browser'

const client = new BrowserClient({ apiKey: 'rvp_live_...' })

// One-shot screenshot
const screenshot = await client.screenshot({ url: 'https://example.com' })
console.log(screenshot.url) // signed S3 URL

// Session-based workflow
const session = await client.session()
await session.navigate('https://example.com')
const tree = await session.getA11yTree()
console.log(tree.result.tree) // accessibility tree (~26K tokens vs ~114K for screenshot)
await session.click({ label: 'Get Started' })
await session.fill({ selector: '#email', value: '[e-mail]' })
await session.close()

Error Handling

import { BrowserClient, InsufficientCreditsError, RateLimitError } from '@roveapi/browser'

try {
  const session = await client.session()
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof InsufficientCreditsError) {
    console.log('Top up credits at roveapi.com')
  }
  if (err instanceof RateLimitError) {
    console.log(`Retry after ${err.retryAfter} seconds`)
  }
}

API

BrowserClient

new BrowserClient({ apiKey, baseUrl?, retries?, retryDelay? })

• client.session(options?) → Session
• client.screenshot({ url, selector?, fullPage?, format? }) → ScreenshotResponse
• client.extract({ url, schema, waitForSelector? }) → ExtractResponse
• client.usage() → UsageResponse

Session

• session.navigate(url, options?) — load URL, return title + status
• session.getA11yTree(options?) — accessibility tree (primary tool for LLMs)
• session.click({ selector?, label? }) — click element
• session.fill({ selector?, label?, value }) — type into input
• session.select({ selector?, value? }) — select dropdown option
• session.scroll({ direction?, amount? }) — scroll page
• session.waitFor({ type, value }) — wait for condition
• session.screenshot({ fullPage?, format? }) — capture page
• session.getText(selector) — extract text
• session.getAttribute(selector, attribute) — get attribute
• session.evaluate(expression) — run JavaScript
• session.close() — close session, finalize artifacts

Auto-retry on 503 (pool exhausted, browser crash) with exponential backoff. No retry on 402 (insufficient credits) or 410 (session expired).
