Drive a real remote browser with Spider Cloud — open a session, navigate, click, fill forms, run JavaScript, screenshot, and read page content, with smart retry, browser switching, and stealth escalation. Use for multi-step browser automation: logging into a site, filling and submitting forms, scraping JS-rendered pages, or anything needing an interactive session.

Spider: browser automation

Interactive browser sessions running in Spider's cloud (via spider-browser) with smart retry, automatic browser switching, anti-bot protection, proxy rotation, and stealth auto-escalation. Supports CDP and BiDi.

Session lifecycle

spider_browser_open → start a session, returns a session_id
Use the session_id with every browser tool below
spider_browser_close → always close when done to stop billing

Sessions auto-close after 5 minutes idle. Max 5 concurrent sessions.

Tools

spider_browser_open — browser: auto (recommended), chrome, chrome-new, firefox; stealth: 0 auto-escalate, 1 standard, 2 residential, 3 premium.
spider_browser_navigate — navigate with smart retry and automatic browser switching on failure. No need to specify wait conditions; load detection is internal.
spider_browser_click — waits for the element, then clicks. timeout ms (default 10000).
spider_browser_fill — clears the field and types the new value.
spider_browser_screenshot — base64 PNG of the current viewport; just pass session_id.
spider_browser_content — format: "html" (full DOM) or format: "text" (visible text).
spider_browser_evaluate — run a JavaScript string expression in page context. Use (function(){ ... })() for multi-line; only string expressions, no arrow functions.
spider_browser_wait_for — selector (wait for a CSS selector), navigation: true (wait for next load), or neither (wait for network idle + DOM stability). timeout ms (default 30000).
spider_browser_close — close the session and release resources.

Pattern: form submission

open → navigate → fill (each field) → click submit → wait_for navigation → content or screenshot → close

1. spider_browser_open:     { browser: "auto" }
2. spider_browser_navigate: { url: "https://app.example.com/login" }
3. spider_browser_fill:     { selector: "input[name='email']", value: "[email protected]" }
4. spider_browser_fill:     { selector: "input[name='password']", value: "..." }
5. spider_browser_click:    { selector: "button[type='submit']" }
6. spider_browser_wait_for: { navigation: true }
7. spider_browser_screenshot: {}
8. spider_browser_close:    {}

For heavily protected sites, open with stealth: 2 or stealth: 3. Prefer the spider_ai_browser tool when you'd rather describe the whole task in plain English than script each step.
