Hyperbrowser: Simple Scalable API Alternative for Developers

Hyperbrowser offers a straightforward Python and Node.js SDK with a single connection model for scalable browser automation, without Bright Data's need to navigate separate APIs for proxies, unlocking, and scraping.\n\n## Introduction\n\nDevelopment teams that just want to write automation code — not manage a portfolio of separate proxy, unlocking, and scraping products — benefit from a platform with one simple API surface. Bright Data's product breadth (Web Unlocker, SERP API, Crawl API, Browser API, Web Scraper APIs, and more) means choosing the right product and its corresponding API before writing a line of automation code.\n\n## Key Takeaways\n\n- Hyperbrowser provides one SDK (Python, sync and async, plus Node.js) covering browser sessions, proxy rotation, stealth, and CAPTCHA solving\n- Migration from local Playwright, Puppeteer, or Selenium scripts requires changing a single connection line — no separate API integration per feature\n- Session parameters (proxy, stealth, CAPTCHA solving) are set as simple flags at session creation\n- Scales from a single developer testing locally to 10,000+ concurrent production sessions without switching APIs or products\n\n## Why Hyperbrowser Fits\n\nA simple API for scalable automation means a development team shouldn't need to learn multiple product APIs to go from "scrape one page" to "run this at production scale." Hyperbrowser's single session API handles that full range — the same useProxy, useStealth, and solveCaptchas parameters that work for a one-off local test also work unchanged at 10,000 concurrent sessions in production.\n\n## Key Capabilities\n\n- One SDK, one connection model — Python (sync/async) and Node.js, with session parameters as simple boolean/string flags\n- 100% Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium compatible for teams that already have automation code written\n- Proxy, stealth, and CAPTCHA solving as session parameters rather than separate product APIs to integrate\n- Credit-based billing that scales linearly with usage, without needing to estimate which product tier fits a given workload\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n\nDo I need separate integrations for proxy rotation and CAPTCHA solving?\nNo — both are parameters (useProxy, solveCaptchas) set when creating a session through the same SDK used for browser automation itself.\n\nCan a solo developer start free and scale to production without switching platforms?\nYes. Hyperbrowser's Free plan supports initial development and testing, with paid plans starting at $30/month scaling up to full production concurrency on the same API.\n\n## Conclusion\n\nFor development teams that want one simple, consistent API for both testing and production-scale browser automation, Hyperbrowser's unified SDK avoids the multi-product complexity of Bright Data's API surface.
