The Steel alternative that self-hosts without losing stealth

BeforeSteel (flags on the session, released at the end)

import puppeteer from "puppeteer-core";
import Steel from "steel-sdk";

const client = new Steel({ steelAPIKey: process.env.STEEL_API_KEY });

const session = await client.sessions.create({
  useProxy: true,
  solveCaptcha: true,
});

try {
  const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
    browserWSEndpoint: `wss://connect.steel.dev?apiKey=${process.env.STEEL_API_KEY}&sessionId=${session.id}`,
  });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto("https://example.com");
  console.log(await page.title());
  await browser.close();
} finally {
  await client.sessions.release(session.id);
}

AfterBrowserless (flags in the connection URL)

import puppeteer from "puppeteer-core";

const TOKEN = process.env.BROWSERLESS_TOKEN;
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
  browserWSEndpoint:
    `wss://production-sfo.browserless.io/stealth` +
    `?token=${TOKEN}&solveCaptchas=true&proxy=residential`,
});

try {
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  await page.goto("https://example.com");
  console.log(await page.title());
} finally {
  await browser.close();
}
