The Browser Use Cloud API uses API keys to authenticate requests. You can obtain an API key from your Browser Use Cloud dashboard.

​
API Keys

All API requests must include your API key in the Authorization header: 
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Keep your API keys secure and do not share them in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, or in your browser’s developer tools. API keys should be stored securely in environment variables or a secure key management system.

​
Example Request

Here’s an example of how to include your API key in a request using Python: 
import requests

API_KEY = 'your_api_key_here'
BASE_URL = 'https://api.browser-use.com/api/v1'
HEADERS = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {API_KEY}'}

response = requests.get(f'{BASE_URL}/me', headers=HEADERS)
print(response.json())

​
Verifying Authentication

You can verify that your API key is valid by making a request to the /api/v1/me endpoint. See the Me endpoint documentation for more details.

​
API Key Security

To ensure the security of your API keys:
  1. Never share your API key in publicly accessible areas
  2. Rotate your API keys periodically
  3. Use environment variables to store API keys in your applications
  4. Implement proper access controls for your API keys
  5. Monitor API key usage for suspicious activity
If you believe your API key has been compromised, you should immediately revoke it and generate a new one from your Browser Use Cloud dashboard.
