description: Anchor Browser is an AI-native cloud browser infrastructure platform that lets AI agents interact with the web
  the same way a human would. It provides hosted, isolated Chromium sessions ("Anchor Chromium"), built-in stealth and bot-evasion
  tuning, an authentication layer (OmniConnect) for managing logged-in user credentials, a built-in enterprise VPN, residential
  and sticky-IP proxies, a Web Action Cache that hardens flaky workflows into deterministic code, and a REST API plus SDKs
  for Playwright, Puppeteer, MCP, LangChain, and CrewAI. The platform is positioned as the sandbox runtime for agentic browser
  automation.

  name: Anchor Browser API
  description: The Anchor Browser REST API exposes cloud browser sessions for AI agents. It covers session lifecycle (create,
    async create, status, end, list history), batch session creation (up to 5,000 simultaneous sessions), browser profiles
    (save/load cookies, local storage, cache), file upload/download inside sessions, recording with pause/resume, custom browser
    extensions, AI-driven task execution (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI), web unlocker for bot-protected sites, captcha solving,
    ad/popup blocking, sticky residential IPs, secret management, and CA certificate management. SDKs are Stainless-generated
    and an OpenAPI specification is published.
