Browser Use Skills - Turn any website into a reliable API with 1 prompt
by•
Browser Use Skills lets you turn any website into a reusable API, no official API required.
1 prompt or 1 demonstration and we reverse-engineer the HTTP calls into a clean API.
Need to download a song? Get 1000 posts in seconds? Generate songs on Suno? Pull videos from social media? Create leads in Salesforce?

Hey Product Hunt! 👋
We built Browser Use Skills because we kept running into the same problem: the API we needed didn't exist.
Suno AI? No public API. YouTube? Rate-limited and restrictive. Half the tools we wanted to automate had no programmatic access at all.
So we asked: what if you could just show an AI agent how to do something once, and it would reverse-engineer the entire flow into a reusable API?
That's exactly what Browser Use Skills does.
You set a goal, record yourself doing the task (or let our agent figure it out), and we turn that into a hosted endpoint you can call whenever you want.
We've been using this internally for weeks! we've already built 20+ APIs for sites we never thought we'd be able to automate.
Would love your feedback. What's the first API you'd build?

@chrismessina haha, yes when you create an Skill for product hunt you do need to pass the cloudflare cookie. We are gonna have something which fixes this soon!

I've been following Browser Use for a while now. It's great to see solutions being implemented that don't require expensive AI inference at each workflow API call.
My concerns and feedback 👇
How does Browser Use (especially Skills) handle anti-bot measures that most valuable data access on sites employ?
- Browser Use will not work across things like DataDome
- Skills platform inherits this issue to a larger extent (No Kasada and others)
- Skills platform requires user to fetch cookies each session for antibots, which does not work
- This limits use cases to less valuable workflows since valuable web data is guarded behind complex fingerprinting
Look forward to seeing how things develop and what's next!

@alex_spring That's the magic about skills. As you mention, some workflows require anti-bot cookies, or sessions, we are seamlessly integrating all the Skills with the Browser Use library, to solve all those problems.
Browser Use agent will be able to solve the anti-bot captcha or provide the necessary session cookies by using our existing Stealth infra or Profile-Sync that we offer in our Cloud, and after that, Skills can be called, speeding up the automation and reducing cost.
What you mention is important, but also worth to say that not all websites require this. If that's needed we also have you covered tho :P
I would say that the symbiosis between Skills & the Browser Use library make web automation unstoppable.

@reformedot This is cool, but doesn't solve the problem with fingerprinting.
The Browser Use Cloud options do not solve stealth issues on a few anti-bots and Skills would inherit all these issues (e.g. G2.com, Capterra.com, etc). I'm confused how integrating Cloud functionalities into skills solves any of these issues, since Cloud has them too.
You're right, not all websites need advanced fingerprints, and in this scenario I see Browser Use Cloud & Skills being great solutions. My concern is that often valuable data is guarded behind difficult fingerprinting, which Browser Use cannot access.

@alex_spring Our browser is fully patched, what you see is a proxy ban, we are working on improving the quality of the used proxies too.
Other Cloudflare or PerimeterX websites work flawlessly, tho.
But yes, sooner than later all those stealth issues will be solved making Skills useful even for those hard-protected websites. Thanks for testing the product Alex!

@daniellee2309 Creation uses browser use but the API doesnt, thats the beauty of this product!

I tried the tool, and it really performed well. Would love to keep using it in the future.
How can i make it work when something is behind a login wall?
Browser Use
@chilarai Thanks for trying the product 🚀
We are actively working in the Browser Use library native integration. You will be able to solve all your auth issues by combining Browser Use agent with the Skills, improving your automations by 10x!
If you need to be logged, Browser Use agent will login (you can even benefit from some of our cool auth features such as Profile-Use or the secrets vault), and then your fresh skill will be used with all the auth headache sorted 👌

@tycho_svoboda Thanks for trying! What did you automate btw 👀
Browser Use
This is an absolute game-changer for me. I now use skills every day to grab all of the latest news from Hacker News and other news sources deterministically, and all it took was a single prompt.
Congratulations on the launch 🎉

@shubham_pratap Thanks!

So cool and unlocks a crazy number of use cases. Congrats on the launch guys, can't wait to use this!!
This is AMAZING. Congrats @Browser Use team!!

@taro_f Thanks! How can we automate your boring stuff?
How can it be used at scale? Seems more like a testing tool for vibe-coders.

@pasha_tseluyko We give you an API endpoint which you can call reliable 1000s of times.
