## Browser Run adds a Playground to the Cloudflare dashboard

[Browser Run](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/)

[Browser Run](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/) now includes a Playground in the Cloudflare dashboard. Use it to try Quick Actions against a live browser without creating a Worker, installing an SDK, or deploying code first.

The Playground helps you test a target URL or raw HTML input, tune viewport and page-load settings, preview the output, and copy working code for the same request.

With the Playground, you can:

- Capture visuals as [screenshots](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/screenshot-endpoint/) or [PDFs](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/pdf-endpoint/).
- Generate multiple output formats in one request with the [snapshot endpoint](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/snapshot/).
- Extract [HTML](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/content-endpoint/), [Markdown](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/markdown-endpoint/), [links](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/links-endpoint/), or [scraped data](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/scrape-endpoint/).
- Extract [structured data with AI](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/quick-actions/json-endpoint/) using a prompt and optional JSON Schema.

You can also configure desktop, laptop, tablet, mobile, or custom viewport sizes, set browser scale, choose page-load conditions, set timeouts, and wait for selectors before running a request.

Select **Show Code** to generate the same request as cURL, TypeScript SDK, Python, or Workers Binding code. For example, a screenshot request can be copied as a Workers Binding call:

```ts
interface Env {
	BROWSER: BrowserRun;
}

export default {
	async fetch(request, env): Promise<Response> {
		return await env.BROWSER.quickAction("screenshot", {
			url: "https://developers.cloudflare.com",
			viewport: {
				width: 1920,
				height: 1080,
			},
		});
	},
} satisfies ExportedHandler<Env>;
```

Requests made in the Playground incur [Browser Run charges](https://developers.cloudflare.com/browser-run/pricing/). AI extraction also incurs Workers AI charges.

To try the Playground, go to **Browser Run** in the Cloudflare dashboard and select **Playground**.
