Introduction

What is Gaffa?

Gaffa is a powerful API for browser automation that lets you control real web browsers at scale through a simple interface with no configuration required. We'll handle the complexities of managing infrastructure, such as virtual machines, proxies, and caching, so you can focus on building powerful, reliable web automation and AI applications!

Key features

Gaffa is ready to power your web automations:

  • Simplicity - there's no need to learn another new framework; Gaffa is accessible through a simple REST API - just tell it what site you want to visit and what actions you want to perform, and it will be carried out as soon as you send the request.

  • Real browsers - headless browsers are popular but we make it simple to control real cloud-hosted browsers at scale which render JavaScript sites exactly as they would on a local machine, are harder to detect when doing scraping, and allow full observability. We're also planning to let you go beyond just controlling web browsers!

  • Proxies - you can easily choose to route your traffic through a network of residential proxy IP addresses to help avoid bot-detection on sites you are trying to automate.

  • Scalable - whether you want to control a single cloud browser or 100s in parallel with Gaffa, you can do that easily without one thought about infrastructure management.

  • Powerful data processing - once you've accessed your desired site, you can export your data in a constantly growing number of formats. If you want the to feed into a large language model, or to feed into a vision modal we can help.

We'll be announcing updates and new features in our newsletter - .
