What it does

The Browserbase `POST /browser/session/:id/extend` endpoint lets callers add more time to an already-running headless browser session. It is part of the Browserbase pay-per-use browser infrastructure, which provides headless browser sessions, web search, and page fetching for AI agents — all purchasable without API keys or accounts, using crypto micropayments via the MPP (and x402) protocols.

Browserbase browser sessions are priced at $0.12/hour. The extend endpoint presumably charges proportionally for the additional time requested. Payment settles on the Tempo mainnet chain via the MPP protocol (WWW-Authenticate challenge with mppx tooling). The service also supports x402 via USDC on Base. Other endpoints in the suite include session creation, status checks, session termination, web search ($0.01/request), and page fetching ($0.01/request).

Note: During probing, this endpoint returned 404 on both HEAD and GET requests rather than the expected 402 MPP challenge. This is likely because the endpoint requires a POST method and a valid session ID in the URL path (`:id` is a path parameter). Without a real session ID, the server returns 404. The endpoint is expected to be live when called correctly against an active session, but this could not be confirmed directly.

Use cases

  • Extending a long-running browser automation session that needs more time than originally estimated
  • Keeping a headless browser session alive for multi-step web scraping or interaction workflows
  • Dynamically adding compute time to an agent's browser session without restarting

Fit

Best for

  • AI agents that need headless browser sessions with flexible duration
  • Workflows where session length is unpredictable and needs on-the-fly extension
  • Developers who want pay-per-use browser infrastructure without managing API keys or accounts

Not for

  • Creating new browser sessions (use /browser/session/create instead)
  • Use cases requiring free or flat-rate browser access without per-hour billing
  • Scenarios where the session ID is not already known from a prior create call

Quality

0.30/ 1.00

The endpoint did not return a 402 MPP challenge during probing (returned 404), likely due to the path parameter requiring a valid session ID and POST method. No OpenAPI schema, no detailed docs, and no request/response examples are available. Pricing and basic purpose are inferred from the landing page, but specifics about the extend endpoint's request body and response are unknown.

Warnings

  • Endpoint returned 404 on HEAD and GET probes — likely requires POST with a valid session ID; could not confirm live 402 challenge
  • No documentation pages found (/docs, /api, /pricing, /README all return 'Cannot GET')
  • No request or response schema available for this endpoint
  • Exact pricing for extend calls is not documented — $0.12/hour is the session rate but per-extend cost is unconfirmed
