# Streaming
|
||||
|
||||
Stream the browser viewport via WebSocket for live preview or "pair browsing"
|
||||
where a human can watch and interact alongside an AI agent.
|
||||
|
||||
## Enable streaming
|
||||
|
||||
Set the `AGENT_BROWSER_STREAM_PORT` environment variable to start
|
||||
a WebSocket server:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
AGENT_BROWSER_STREAM_PORT=9223 agent-browser open example.com
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The server streams viewport frames and accepts input events (mouse, keyboard, touch).
|
||||
|
||||
## WebSocket protocol
|
||||
|
||||
Connect to `ws://localhost:9223` to receive frames and send input.
|
||||
|
||||
### Frame messages
|
||||
|
||||
The server sends frame messages with base64-encoded images:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "frame",
|
||||
"data": "<base64-encoded-jpeg>",
|
||||
"metadata": {
|
||||
"deviceWidth": 1280,
|
||||
"deviceHeight": 720,
|
||||
"pageScaleFactor": 1,
|
||||
"offsetTop": 0,
|
||||
"scrollOffsetX": 0,
|
||||
"scrollOffsetY": 0
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Status messages
|
||||
|
||||
Connection and screencast status:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "status",
|
||||
"connected": true,
|
||||
"screencasting": true,
|
||||
"viewportWidth": 1280,
|
||||
"viewportHeight": 720
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Input injection
|
||||
|
||||
Send input events to control the browser remotely.
|
||||
|
||||
### Mouse events
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// Click
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_mouse",
|
||||
"eventType": "mousePressed",
|
||||
"x": 100,
|
||||
"y": 200,
|
||||
"button": "left",
|
||||
"clickCount": 1
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Release
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_mouse",
|
||||
"eventType": "mouseReleased",
|
||||
"x": 100,
|
||||
"y": 200,
|
||||
"button": "left"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Move
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_mouse",
|
||||
"eventType": "mouseMoved",
|
||||
"x": 150,
|
||||
"y": 250
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Scroll

||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_mouse",
|
||||
"eventType": "mouseWheel",
|
||||
"x": 100,
|
||||
"y": 200,
|
||||
"deltaX": 0,
|
||||
"deltaY": 100
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Keyboard events
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// Key down
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_keyboard",
|
||||
"eventType": "keyDown",
|
||||
"key": "Enter",
|
||||
"code": "Enter"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Key up
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_keyboard",
|
||||
"eventType": "keyUp",
|
||||
"key": "Enter",
|
||||

|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_keyboard",
|
||||
"eventType": "char",
|
||||
"text": "a"
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// With modifiers (1=Alt, 2=Ctrl, 4=Meta, 8=Shift)
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_keyboard",
|
||||
"eventType": "keyDown",
|
||||
"key": "c",
|
||||
"code": "KeyC",
|
||||
"modifiers": 2
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Touch events
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
// Touch start
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_touch",
|
||||
"eventType": "touchStart",
|
||||
"touchPoints": [{ "x": 100, "y": 200 }]
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Touch move
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_touch",
|
||||
"eventType": "touchMove",
|
||||
"touchPoints": [{ "x": 150, "y": 250 }]
|
||||
}
|

|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_touch",
|
||||
"eventType": "touchEnd",
|
||||
"touchPoints": []
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
// Multi-touch (pinch zoom)
|
||||
{
|
||||
"type": "input_touch",
|
||||
"eventType": "touchStart",
|
||||
"touchPoints": [
|
||||
{ "x": 100, "y": 200, "id": 0 },
|
||||
{ "x": 200, "y": 200, "id": 1 }
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Programmatic API
|
||||
|
||||
For advanced use, control streaming directly via the TypeScript API:
|
||||
|
||||
```typescript
|
||||
import { BrowserManager } from 'agent-browser';
|
||||
|
||||
const browser = new BrowserManager();
|
||||
await browser.launch({ headless: true });
|
||||
await browser.navigate('https://example.com');
|
||||
|
||||
// Start screencast with callback
|
||||
await browser.startScreencast((frame) => {
|
||||
console.log('Frame:', frame.metadata.deviceWidth, 'x', frame.metadata.deviceHeight);
|
||||
// frame.data is base64-encoded image
|
||||
}, {
|
||||
format: 'jpeg', // or 'png'
|
||||
quality: 80, // 0-100, jpeg only
|
||||
maxWidth: 1280,
|
||||
maxHeight: 720,
|
||||
everyNthFrame: 1
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Inject mouse event
|
||||
await browser.injectMouseEvent({
|
||||
type: 'mousePressed',
|
||||
x: 100,
|
||||
y: 200,
|
||||
button: 'left',
|
||||
clickCount: 1
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Inject keyboard event
|
||||
await browser.injectKeyboardEvent({
|
||||
type: 'keyDown',
|
||||
key: 'Enter',
|
||||
code: 'Enter'
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Inject touch event
|
||||
await browser.injectTouchEvent({
|
||||
type: 'touchStart',
|
||||
touchPoints: [{ x: 100, y: 200 }]
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// Check if screencasting
|
||||
console.log('Active:', browser.isScreencasting());
|
||||
|
||||
// Stop screencast
|
||||
await browser.stopScreencast();
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Use cases
|
||||
|
||||
- **Pair browsing** - Human watches and assists AI agent in real-time
|
||||
- **Remote preview** - View browser output in a separate UI
|
||||
- **Recording** - Capture frames for video generation
|
||||
- **Mobile testing** - Inject touch events for mobile emulation
|
||||
- **Accessibility testing** - Manual interaction during automated tests
