Browser Rendering

Browser Rendering enables developers to programmatically control and interact with headless browser instances running on Cloudflare’s global network. This facilitates tasks such as automating browser interactions, capturing screenshots, generating PDFs, and extracting data from web pages.

You can integrate Browser Rendering into your applications using one of the following methods:

• REST API: Ideal for simple, stateless tasks like capturing screenshots, generating PDFs, extracting HTML content, and more.
• Workers Binding API: Suitable for advanced browser automation within Cloudflare Workers. This method provides greater control, enabling more complex workflows and persistent sessions.

Choose the method that best fits your use case. For example, use the REST API endpoints for straightforward tasks from external applications and the Workers Binding API for complex automation within the Cloudflare ecosystem.

Browser Rendering can be utilized for various purposes, including:

• Fetch HTML content of a page.
• Capture screenshot of a webpage.
• Convert a webpage into a PDF document.
• Take a webpage snapshot.
• Scrape specified HTML elements from a webpage.
• Retrieve data in a structured format.
• Extract Markdown content from a webpage.
• Gather all hyperlinks found on a webpage.
