Install Dependencies
pip install bedrock-agentcore playwright boto3 nest-asyncioBasic Usage
# Test a URL
python scripts/browser_test.py https://example.com
# Test with screenshot
python scripts/browser_test.py https://example.com --screenshot screenshot.png
# Test with API health check
python scripts/browser_test.py https://example.com --check-api
# Full test with JSON output
python scripts/browser_test.py https://example.com -s screenshot.png -a --jsonPython API
Simple Test
from browser_test import test_url
# test_url is a synchronous function
results = test_url(
url="https://example.com",
screenshot_path="screenshot.png",
check_api=True
)
print(f"Status: {results['status']}")
print(f"Title: {results['title']}")
print(f"Errors: {results['errors']}")Advanced Usage with Playwright
from bedrock_agentcore.tools.browser_client import BrowserClient
from playwright.async_api import async_playwright
async def custom_test():
client = BrowserClient(region="us-west-2")
session = await client.start_browser_session(
session_name="my-test",
timeout=300,
viewport={"width": 1920, "height": 1080}
)
ws_url, headers = await client.generate_ws_headers()
async with async_playwright() as p:
browser = await p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(ws_url, headers=headers)
page = browser.contexts[0].pages[0]
# Your custom test logic
await page.goto("https://example.com")
await page.click("button#submit")
await page.wait_for_selector(".result")
content = await page.content()
await browser.close()
await client.stop_browser_session()

- Navigate to Built-in tools
- Find your active session
- Click View live session
Troubleshooting
Session Timeout
If tests timeout, increase the session timeout:
session = await client.start_browser_session(
session_name="long-test",
timeout=600 # 10 minutes
)Permission Denied
Ensure your IAM role/user has the required permissions for AgentCore Browser.
Network Errors
Check that the target URL is accessible from AWS infrastructure. Internal/private URLs may not be reachable.
