What is Scrapybara
Scrapybara hosts remote desktop instances (virtual desktops) specifically for AI agents, such as computer use agents like CUA. It provides a unified API allowing developers to execute agents with various models and access low-level controls like the browser, filesystem, and code sandboxes. The service handles autoscaling, authentication, and system environments to facilitate deploying fleets of agents for automating free-form computing tasks at scale.
How to use Scrapybara
Scrapybara offers a unified interface for computer use models, enabling dead easy computer use. Developers can use SDKs (Python and Typescript are supported) to start desktop instances (like Ubuntu) and execute powerful workflows with structured outputs, multi-turn conversations, and custom tools. The act command is used to run agents with specified tools, models, system prompts, and user prompts.

- Interactive Stream: Monitor and yield control in real-time.
- Authenticated Access: Save and load authenticated websites.
- Session Persistence: Pause and resume instances.
- Instance Types: Offers Ubuntu (feature-rich Linux desktop), Browser (lightweight Chromium browser), and Windows (full Windows desktop).
Use Cases of Scrapybara
Scrapybara allows deploying intelligent agents to automate any free-form computing task at scale. Popular examples include:
- CODECAPY.AI: A PR bot that tests code by executing parallel end-to-end UI tests in Ubuntu instances.
- COPYCAPY: Scraping and processing website content.
- WIDE RESEARCH: Performing deep research scraping in parallel.
- DUNGEON CRAWLER: An example involving fighting monsters and exploring dungeons.
Pricing
Scrapybara offers a free tier with 10 compute hours, 100 agent credits, and 5 concurrent instances. Paid plans include:
- BASIC: $29/month for 100 compute hours, 500 agent credits, and 25 concurrent instances.
- PRO: $99/month for 500 compute hours, 2500 agent credits, and 100 concurrent instances.
- ENTERPRISE: Custom pricing for self-hosting, dedicated support, and a 99.9% Uptime SLA. Agent credits are consumed per step (one assistant message with tool calls) when using the Act SDK or playground. Credit top-ups are available at $0.04 each, or users can use their own provider API key.
