Implementing the API

Requires an active subscription. Returns the task ID that can be used to track progress.

Run Task

Stops a running browser automation task immediately. The task cannot be resumed after being stopped.
Use `/pause-task` endpoint instead if you want to temporarily halt execution.

Stop Task

Pauses execution of a running task. The task can be resumed later using the `/resume-task` endpoint. Useful for manual intervention or inspection.

Pause Task

Returns comprehensive information about a task, including its current status, steps completed, output (if finished), and other metadata.

Get Task

Returns just the current status of a task (created, running, finished, stopped, or paused).
More lightweight than the full task details endpoint.

Get Task Status

Returns links to any recordings or media generated during task execution,
such as browser session recordings. Only available for completed tasks.

Get Task Media

Returns any screenshot urls generated during task execution.

Get Task Screenshots

Returns a gif url generated from the screenshots of the task execution.
Only available for completed tasks that have screenshots.

Get Task Gif

Returns a paginated list of all tasks belonging to the user, ordered by creation date.
Each task includes basic information like status and creation time. For detailed task info, use the
get task endpoint.

List Tasks

Returns the user's current API credit balance, which includes both monthly subscription
credits and any additional purchased credits. Required for monitoring usage and ensuring sufficient
credits for task execution.
