- CI billing tier with weekend-reserved capacity for nightly E2E runs.
- Test artefacts (videos, traces, screenshots) stored for your retention window.
playwright.tsTypeScript
import { chromium, firefox, webkit } from 'playwright'
const TOKEN = process.env.BFH_API_KEY!
const ws = (browser: string) =>
`wss://cloud.browserforhire.com?token=${TOKEN}&browser=${browser}`
for (const [name, type, engine] of [
['chromium', chromium, 'chromium'],
['firefox', firefox, 'firefox'],
['webkit', webkit, 'webkit'],
] as const) {
const browser = await type.connect(ws(engine))
const page = await (await browser.newContext()).newPage()
await page.goto('https://example.com')
console.log(name, await page.title())
await browser.close()
}What you get
Multi-browser
All three Playwright engines available behind the same connect URL. Pass &browser=firefox or &browser=webkit to switch.
CI-friendly
Reserved capacity for nightly runs. Parallel suites scale to your tier limits with deterministic queuing.
Stagehand-compatible
Existing Stagehand code runs as-is. Same env=CUSTOM + browserWSEndpoint shape.
FAQ
Does Playwright Test work with this?+
Yes. Set the connectOptions.wsEndpoint in your playwright.config.ts. We also publish a sample CI workflow for GitHub Actions and GitLab CI.
Can I record videos and traces?+
Yes. Add &record=true&trace=on. Artefacts are stored against your retention window (1–90 days depending on tier) and accessible via the dashboard or API.
