Docs:
- •Cloud API: https://docs.nextbrowser.com/getting-started
Setup
API Key is read from openclaw config at skills.entries.next-browser.apiKey.
If not configured, tell the user:
To use Nextbrowser, you need an API key. Get one at https://app.nextbrowser.com/user-settings (new signups get 2000 free credits). Then configure it:
codeopenclaw config set skills.entries.next-browser.apiKey "nb_your_key_here"
Base URL: https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1
All requests need header: Authorization: x-api-key <apiKey>
1. Profiles
Profiles persist cookies and login state across browser sessions. Create one, log into your accounts in the browser, and reuse it.
# List profiles
curl "https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1/browser/profiles" -H "Authorization: x-api-key $API_KEY"
# Create browser profile
curl -X POST "https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1/browser/profiles" \
-H "Authorization: x-api-key $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"name": "<profile-name>", "browser_settings": {"os_type": "<os-type>", "browser_type": "chrome"},
"proxy_settings":{"protocol":"<http|https|socks5>","country":"<iso-2-country-code>","mode":"built-in"}}'
# Delete profile
curl -X DELETE "https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1/browser/profiles/<profile-id>" \
-H "Authorization: x-api-key $API_KEY"
2. Credentials Manager
The Credentials Manager securely stores and reuses authentication data across browser runs and autonomous tasks.
# List credentials curl "https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1/users/credentials" -H "Authorization: x-api-key $API_KEY"
3. Tasks (Subagent)
Run autonomous browser tasks - like a subagent that handles browser interactions for you. Give it a prompt and it completes the task.
Always use fast mode - optimized for browser tasks, 3-5x faster than other models.
Always use true for skip_plan_approval - optimized for automated tasks, skips the approval and improve performance.
curl -X POST "https://app.nextbrowser.com/api/v1/chat/tasks" \
-H "Authorization: x-api-key $API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"task_description": "'"\
