Browserless dependency
Hello,
CrewAI is a magnificent project, I am trying to make it work with as little dependence on online services as possible.
So is it possible to replace the browserless (https://www.browserless.io/) dependency with the docker image browserless/chrome:latest? And if so, how? Thank you in advance.
CrewAI Browserless Integration Guide
Introduction
This guide provides step-by-step instructions on how to replace the browserless.io dependency with the Docker image browserless/chrome:latest in the CrewAI project.
Setup and Configuration
1. Setting Up Docker Container for Browserless
Run the following command to start the Browserless Docker container:
$ docker run -p 8080:3000 --restart always -d --name browserless browserless/chrome
This command maps the local port 8080 to the container's port 3000 and ensures the container restarts automatically. For more details, refer to the Browserless Docker documentation.
2. Verifying the Docker Container Setup
To check if the Browserless service is running, execute the Python script below. Ensure you have websocket-client installed (pip install websocket-client):
import websocket
import json
try:
ws = websocket.create_connection("ws://localhost:8080")
ws.send(json.dumps({"id": 1, "method": "Browser.getVersion"}))
while True:
response = ws.recv()
if response:
print("Received:", response)
break
except Exception as e:
print("Exception:", e)
finally:
ws.close()
3. Integrating with CrewAI
Update the scrape_and_summarize_website function in ./crewAI-examples/trip_planner/tools/browser_tools.py:
class BrowserTools():
@tool("Scrape website content")
def scrape_and_summarize_website(website):
"""Scrape and summarize a website's content"""
# Change from remote Browserless service to local Docker instance
url = f"http://localhost:8080/content" # Local Docker instance URL
...
For reference, visit the CrewAI GitHub repository.
