Run a browser agent on a page.

Job id `browser.automation.run`, in Scrapers (Browser tasks). As of 2026-10-01, 1 provider serve it through 1 tool. Run `job:browser.automation.run` and looot picks one of them; with `fallback` on, a miss moves on to the next. See [Jobs](/concepts/jobs).

## Inputs

This job has one tool, so it takes that tool's fields. Any key you send passes through unchanged.

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `agent_config` | string | no | Agent behavior configuration |
| `api_integration` | string | no | Name of the integration making this API call (e.g., "dify", "zapier", "n8n"). Used for analytics. Example: "dify" |
| `browser_profile` | string | no | Browser profile for execution. LITE uses standard browser, STEALTH uses anti-detection browser. |
| `capture_config` | string | no | Configure which data to capture during the run. |
| `credential_item_ids` | array | no | Scope vault credentials to specific credential URIs. Requires use_vault to be true. If omitted with use_vault: true, all enabled items are used. |
| `goal` | string | yes | Natural language description of what to accomplish on the website. Example: "Find the pricing page and extract all plan details" |
| `output_schema` | string | no | Optional provider-supported structured-output schema subset for the run result. Unsupported fields are rejected before the request is accepted. |
| `profile_id` | string | no | Browser Context Profile ID to use when use_profile is true. |
| `proxy_config` | string | no | Proxy configuration |
| `url` | string | yes | Target website URL to automate. Example: "https://example.com" |
| `use_profile` | boolean | no | Opt-in to the default Browser Context Profile if Browser Context Profiles are enabled; legacy callers are silently ignored when the profiles feature is disabled. Returns 400 when enabled but no default profile is set. |
| `use_vault` | boolean | no | Opt-in to vault credentials for this run. When true, enabled vault items are included. Defaults to false. Example: true |
| `webhook_url` | string | no | HTTPS URL to receive webhook notifications for run lifecycle events. Must use HTTPS. |

## Providers and prices

| Provider | Tool | Price |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [TinyFish Search API](/providers/tinyfish) | [`tinyfish-automation-run`](/reference/tools/tinyfish-automation-run) | $0.016 per result |

A call that fails at the provider costs $0. See [What's free](/money/free-and-failures).

## Output

The run's `result` holds the provider's answer. Signed in, `looot inspect tinyfish-automation-run` prints its fields.

## Run it

Every call needs your API token in `LOOOT_TOKEN`; [Sign in](/get-started/sign-in#use-the-token-in-scripts-and-agents) shows how to get one. Each run also needs a new idempotency key, so a retry never pays twice. With `wait: 30` the answer comes back inline when the run ends within 30 seconds. Otherwise you get the running run back: poll `GET /v1/runs/<runId>`.

To pin one provider, send its tool id as `endpointId` instead of `job:browser.automation.run`.
