Installation
Summary

Cloud browser automation with fast extraction APIs and explicit session control for web tasks.

  • Provides three command families: steel scrape and steel pdf for fast API-based extraction, steel screenshot for page capture, and steel browser for interactive multi-step automation with click, fill, wait, and snapshot operations
  • Supports named session management with parallel execution, CAPTCHA/anti-bot handling via stealth mode and proxy configuration, and credential injection through stored namespaces
  • Includes lifecycle commands (start, stop, sessions, live) for explicit browser control and session reuse across sequential commands
  • Automatically migrates legacy agent-browser commands to Steel equivalents; use cloud mode by default unless --local or --api-url is specified
