What is it?

Notte provides browser infrastructure for AI agents and scripts. It offers hosted cloud browser sessions with built-in stealth, CAPTCHA solving and proxies, which can be driven over CDP from Playwright, Puppeteer or Selenium. A local browser session uses the same observe, execute and scrape API without an API key.

Beyond sessions, the platform includes functions for deploying a Python automation to run on demand, on a schedule, or behind an API endpoint. Secrets vaults keep credentials out of code and out of the view of LLMs, and personas provide identities with their own email inbox for sign-ups and verification codes. A CLI, an MCP server and Python and Node SDKs expose these features.

The open-source core covers the local Playwright-based browser and scraping that returns markdown, images or Pydantic-structured data. The cloud services are offered as a hosted API.

Key features

  • 01Hosted cloud browsers with stealth, CAPTCHA solving and proxies.
  • 02Local Playwright-based browser sessions using the same observe, execute and scrape API.
  • 03CDP endpoints compatible with Playwright, Puppeteer and Selenium.
  • 04Deploy Python automations as functions, runnable on demand, on a schedule or via API.
  • 05Credential vaults that let sessions fill logins without exposing secrets to code.

Use cases

  • Giving a coding agent or LLM a cloud browser to complete web tasks.
  • Running existing Playwright scripts on stealth cloud browsers.
  • Scraping pages into markdown or structured data with Pydantic models.
  • Scheduling browser automations that log in with stored credentials.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Install the Python package

    pip install notte
  2. 2

    Install the Chromium browser with its dependencies

    patchright install --with-deps chromium
  3. 3

    Run a local browser session from the example in the README

Things to know

  • Cloud features such as stealth browsers, CAPTCHA solving and proxies require a Notte API key and a hosted service.
  • The license is SSPL-1.0, a copyleft license with restrictions on offering the software as a service.
  • The agent APIs were removed in version 1.10, so older agent code needs an older pinned version.
