  title: Bright Data Scraping Browser (Browser API) - CDP over WebSocket
  version: '1.0.0'
  description: |
    AsyncAPI 2.6 description of Bright Data's **Scraping Browser / Browser API**
    WebSocket surface.

    Bright Data DOES publish a public WebSocket API. The Scraping Browser is a
    cloud headless-browser fleet that speaks the **Chrome DevTools Protocol
    (CDP)** over a secure WebSocket. Clients open the connection with a
    `wss://` URL of the form:

      'wss://brd-customer-<CUSTOMER_ID>-zone-<ZONE>:<PASSWORD>@brd.superproxy.io:9222'

    Credentials (customer id, zone name, zone password) are carried in the
    WebSocket URL userinfo component. Automation frameworks attach to this
    endpoint:
      - Puppeteer: `puppeteer.connect({ browserWSEndpoint: '<wss URL>' })`
      - Playwright: `chromium.connect_over_cdp('<wss URL>')`
      - Selenium:   remote CDP session

    CDP itself is a bidirectional JSON-RPC 2.0 protocol: the client sends
    command messages `{ "id": N, "method": "Domain.command", "params": {...} }`
    and the server returns matching results `{ "id": N, "result": {...} }`
    plus asynchronous events `{ "method": "Domain.event", "params": {...} }`.
    All standard Chromium CDP domains (Page, Network, Runtime, DOM, Input, ...)
    are available. Bright Data adds custom CDP commands over the same socket
    for unblocking and session control.

    This document models the WebSocket transport and the message envelopes; it
    does not attempt to enumerate the full Chromium CDP domain surface, which
    is defined by the upstream Chrome DevTools Protocol specification.

      The single CDP WebSocket channel. After the socket is established, the
      client and server exchange Chrome DevTools Protocol JSON-RPC messages.
      The client publishes CDP command envelopes; the server publishes CDP
      command results and asynchronous CDP events (including Bright Data
      custom events such as `Captcha.solveFinished`).

        Publish a JSON-RPC 2.0 CDP command over the WebSocket. `method` is a
        `Domain.command` string - either a standard Chromium CDP command
        (e.g. `Page.navigate`, `Runtime.evaluate`) or a Bright Data custom
        command (e.g. `Captcha.solve`, `Captcha.waitForSolve`,
        `Browser.getSessionId`, `Proxy.useSession`, `Emulation.setDevice`,
        `Unblocker.enableAdBlock`).

        Subscribe to messages emitted by the browser: JSON-RPC results keyed
        by the originating command `id`, and asynchronous CDP events keyed by
        `method`. Bright Data custom events include `Captcha.detected`,
        `Captcha.solveFinished`, and `Captcha.solveFailed`.
