# Browser API

This document describes how to use the Browser API to search the web and scrape website content. The API is built with Gradio and Playwright, providing a simple interface for web automation tasks.

## API Endpoint

The primary endpoint for this API is `/api/web_browse`. This is a `POST` endpoint that accepts a JSON payload.

## Authentication

This API is public and does not require authentication.

## Actions

The API can perform two main actions: `Search` and `Scrape URL`.

### Search

The `Search` action allows you to perform a web search using a specified search engine. The API will return the content of the search results page in Markdown format.

### Scrape URL

The `Scrape URL` action allows you to retrieve the content of a specific URL. The API will fetch the page, process the HTML, and return the main content in a clean, readable Markdown format.

## Request Body

The request body must be a JSON object with the following structure:

```json
{
  "action": "Search" | "Scrape URL",
  "query": "string",
  "browser_name": "firefox" | "chromium" | "webkit",
  "search_engine_name": "string"
}
