# camofox-browser Agent Guide
|
|
2
|
+
|
|
3
|
+
Headless browser automation server for AI agents. Run locally or deploy to any cloud provider.
|
|
4
|
+
|
|
5
|
+
## Quick Start for Agents
|
|
6
|
+
|
|
7
|
+
```bash
|
|
8
|
+
# Install and start
|
|
9
|
+
npm install && npm start
|
|
10
|
+
# Server runs on http://localhost:9377
|
|
11
|
+
```
|
|
12
|
+
|
|
13
|
+
## Core Workflow
|
|
14
|
+
|
|
15
|
+
1. **Create a tab** -> Get `tabId`
|
|
16
|
+
2. **Navigate** -> Go to URL or use search macro
|
|
17
|
+
3. **Get snapshot** -> Receive page content with element refs (`e1`, `e2`, etc.)
|
|
18
|
+
4. **Interact** -> Click/type using refs
|
|
19
|
+
5. **Repeat** steps 3-4 as needed
|
|

|
+
```bash
|
|
25
|
+
POST /tabs
|
|
26
|
+
{"userId": "agent1", "sessionKey": "task1", "url": "https://example.com"}
|
|
27
|
+
```
|
|
28
|
+

|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+
### Navigate
|

|
|
33
|
+
{"userId": "agent1", "url": "https://google.com"}
|
|
34
|
+
# Or use macro:
|
|
35
|
+
{"userId": "agent1", "macro": "@google_search", "query": "weather today"}

77
|
+
### Get Links

+
```
|
|
86
|
+
|
|
87
|
+
## Search Macros
|
|
88
|
+
|
|
89
|
+
Use these instead of constructing URLs:
|
|
90
|
+
|
|
91
|
+
| Macro | Site |
|
|
92
|
+
|-------|------|
|
|
93
|
+
| `@google_search` | Google |
|
|
94
|
+
| `@youtube_search` | YouTube |
|
|
95
|
+
| `@amazon_search` | Amazon |
|
|
96
|
+
| `@reddit_search` | Reddit |
|
|
97
|
+
| `@wikipedia_search` | Wikipedia |
|
|
98
|
+
| `@twitter_search` | Twitter/X |
|
|
99
|
+
| `@yelp_search` | Yelp |
|
|
100
|
+
| `@linkedin_search` | LinkedIn |
|
|
101
|
+
|
|
102
|
+
## Element Refs
|
|
103
|
+
|
|
104
|
+
Refs like `e1`, `e2` are stable identifiers for page elements:
|
|
105
|
+
|
|
106
|
+
1. Call `/snapshot` to get current refs
|
|
107
|
+
2. Use ref in `/click` or `/type`
|
|
108
|
+
3. Refs reset on navigation - get new snapshot after
|
|
109
|
+
|
|
110
|
+
## Session Management
|
|
111
|
+
|
|
112
|
+
- `userId` isolates cookies/storage between users
|
|
113
|
+
- `sessionKey` groups tabs by conversation/task (legacy: `listItemId` also accepted)
|
|
114
|
+
- Sessions timeout after 30 minutes of inactivity
|
|
115
|
+
- Delete all user data: `DELETE /sessions/:userId`
|
|
116
|
+
|
|
117
|
+

## OpenAPI Spec (REQUIRED for route changes)
|
|
172
|
+
|
|
173
|
+
The API spec is auto-generated from `@openapi` JSDoc comments in `server.js` via [swagger-jsdoc](https://github.com/Surnet/swagger-jsdoc). It's served at `GET /openapi.json` (machine-readable) and `GET /docs` ([swagger-stripey](https://github.com/skyfallsin/swagger-stripey) three-panel UI).
|
|
174
|
+
|
|
175
|
+
**When adding, modifying, or removing a route, you MUST update the `@openapi` JSDoc block above it.**
|
|
176
|
+
|
|
177
|
+
Every route handler in `server.js` has a JSDoc comment block directly above it like:
|
|
178
|
+
|
|
179
|
+
```js
|
|
180
|
+
/**

|

218
|
+
app.post('/tabs/:tabId/click', async (req, res) => {
|
|
219
|
+
```
|
|
220
|
+
|
|
221
|
+
**Rules:**
|
|
222
|
+
- New routes: add a `@openapi` JSDoc block immediately above the `app.get/post/delete(...)` call
|
|
223
|
+
- Path params use `{tabId}` syntax (not `:tabId`) in the JSDoc YAML
|
|
224
|
+
- Tag must be one of: `System`, `Tabs`, `Navigation`, `Interaction`, `Content`, `Sessions`, `Browser`, `Legacy`
|
|
225
|
+
- Every operation must have `tags`, `summary`, and `responses`
|
|
226
|
+
- Include `requestBody` for POST/PUT/DELETE routes that accept JSON
|
|
227
|
+
- Include `parameters` for path params and required query params
|
|
228
|
+
- Mark backward-compat endpoints with `deprecated: true`
|
|
229
|
+
- Removing a route: delete the `@openapi` block along with the handler
|
|
230
|
+
- **After any route change, run `npm run generate-openapi`** to regenerate the committed `openapi.json`. The test suite will fail if it's stale.
|
|
231
|
+
- Run `npx jest tests/unit/openapi.test.js` to verify coverage -- the test fails if any route is missing from the spec, if a stale route exists, or if `openapi.json` is out of date
|
|
232
|
+
- Reusable schemas go in `components.schemas` in `lib/openapi.js` (the `swaggerDefinition`); reference them via `$ref: '#/components/schemas/Name'`
|
|
233
|
+
|
|
234
|
+
## Crash Reporter
|
|
235
|
+
|
|
236
|
+
**No credentials are embedded in this package.** `lib/reporter.js` is a stateless HTTP client that sends anonymized crash/hang reports to a Cloudflare Worker relay (`camofox-crash-relay.askjo.workers.dev`). The relay holds the GitHub App credentials as environment secrets -- see `workers/crash-reporter/index.ts`. The relay source is in-repo and auditable.
|
|
237
|
+
|
|
238
|
+
- **Architecture**: `lib/reporter.js` (client, no secrets, no `fs`) -> POST -> Cloudflare Worker relay -> GitHub Issues
|
|
239
|
+
- **`lib/reporter.js`** has ZERO credentials, ZERO private keys, ZERO `fs` imports. It only does `fetch()` to the relay URL.
|
|
240
|
+
- **`lib/resources.js`** handles `fs`-based resource snapshots (reading /proc on Linux) -- separated from reporter.js so no file-read + network-send pattern exists in any single file. No `child_process` import.
|
|
241
|
+
- **Anonymization** is in `lib/reporter.js` L28-290 -- text scrubbing (`anonymize()`), URL anonymization (`createUrlAnonymizer()`), and tab health tracking (`createTabHealthTracker()`)
|
|
242
|
+
- **Public domain list** (~120 entries) determines which domains are shown verbatim vs HMAC-hashed
|
|
243
|
+
- **Tests**: `tests/unit/crashRelay.test.js` (relay client), `tests/unit/crashRelayWorker.test.js` (worker contract), `tests/unit/noSecrets.test.js` (asserts no key material in shipped files)
|
|
244
|
+
- Self-hosted relay: see README "Self-hosted relay" section
|
|
245
|
+
- Disable with `CAMOFOX_CRASH_REPORT_ENABLED=false`
|
|
246
|
+
|
|
247
|
+
## OpenClaw Scanner Isolation (CRITICAL)
|
|
248
|
+
|
|
249
|
+
OpenClaw's skill-scanner flags plugins that have `process.env` + network calls (e.g. `app.post`, `fetch`, `http.request`) in the same file, or `child_process` + network calls in the same file. These patterns suggest potential credential exfiltration.
|
|
250
|
+
|
|
251
|
+
**Rule: No single `.js` file may contain both halves of a scanner rule pair:**
|
|
252
|
+
- `process.env` lives ONLY in `lib/config.js`
|
|
253
|
+
- `child_process` / `execFile` / `spawn` live ONLY in `plugins/youtube/youtube.js`, `plugins/vnc/vnc-launcher.js`, and `lib/launcher.js`
|
|
254
|
+
- `server.js` has the Express routes (`app.post`, `app.get`) but ZERO `process.env` reads and ZERO `child_process` imports
|
|
255
|
+
- `lib/metrics.js` has NO `process.env` and NO HTTP method strings (`POST`, `fetch`). Prometheus is lazy-loaded only when `PROMETHEUS_ENABLED=1`.
|
|
256
|
+
- `lib/request-utils.js` has HTTP method strings (`POST`) but NO `process.env` -- safe.
|
|
257
|
+
- When adding new features that need env vars or subprocesses, put that code in a `lib/` module and import the result into `server.js`
|
|

+
- `env-harvesting` (CRITICAL): fires when `/process\.env/` AND `/\bfetch\b|\bpost\b|http\.request/i` match the SAME file. Note: the regex is case-insensitive, so string literals like `'POST'` and even comments containing `process.env` will trigger it.
|
|
261
|
+
- `dangerous-exec` (CRITICAL): `child_process` import + `exec`/`spawn` call in same file
|
|
262
|
+
- `potential-exfiltration` (WARN): `readFile` + `fetch`/`post`/`http.request` in same file
|
|
263
|
+
|
|
264
|
+
This was broken in 1.3.0 (YouTube `child_process` in server.js), fixed in 1.3.1. Broken again in 1.4.1 (`metrics.js` had `process.env` in a comment + `'POST'` in `actionFromReq`), fixed in 1.5.1 by lazy-loading prom-client and splitting `actionFromReq` into `lib/request-utils.js`.

## Plugin System
|
|
267
|
+
|
|
268
|
+
Plugins extend camofox-browser with new endpoints, background processes, and lifecycle hooks. The server auto-loads all plugins from `plugins/<name>/index.js` on startup.
|
|
269
|
+
|
|
270
|
+
### Creating a Plugin
|
|
271
|
+
|
|
272
|
+
```
|
|
273
|
+
plugins/
|
|
274
|
+
my-plugin/
|
|
275
|
+
index.js Required -- exports register(app, ctx)
|
|
276
|
+
apt.txt Optional -- system packages (one per line)
|
|
277
|
+
post-install.sh Optional -- executable hook for binary downloads
|
|
278
|
+
*.test.js Optional -- Jest tests (auto-discovered)
|
|
279
|
+
```
|
|
280
|
+
|
|
281
|
+
```js
|
|
282
|
+
// plugins/my-plugin/index.js
|
|
283
|
+
|
|
284
|
+
export function register(app, ctx) {

|
286
|
+
withUserLimit, safePageClose, normalizeUserId, validateUrl, safeError,
|
|
287
|
+
buildProxyUrl, proxyPool, failuresTotal } = ctx;
|
|
288
|
+
|
|
289
|
+
// Register Express routes (auth() enforces API key or loopback)
|
|
290

app.get('/my-endpoint', auth(), async (req, res) => {
|
|
291

|
|
293
|
+
});
|
|
294

### Mutating Hooks
|
|
399
|
+
|
|
400
|
+
`browser:launching`, `session:creating`, `session:created`, and `session:destroyed` are emitted via `events.emitAsync()` -- the server awaits all listeners (including async ones) before proceeding. This ensures async work like loading storage state from disk completes before the context is created.
|
|
401
|
+
|
|
402
|
+
Other events use regular `events.emit()` (fire-and-forget).
|
|
403
|
+
|
|
404
|
+
Modify payload objects in-place:
|
|
405
|
+
|
|
406
|
+
```js
|
|
407
|
+
// Change Xvfb resolution (e.g., for VNC plugin)
|
|
408
|
+
events.on('browser:launching', ({ options }) => {
|
|
409
|
+
options.virtual_display_resolution = '1920x1080x24';
|
|
410
|
+
});
|
|
411
|
+
|
|
412
|
+
// Inject saved auth state into new sessions
|
|
413
|
+
events.on('session:creating', ({ userId, contextOptions }) => {
|
|
414
|
+
const saved = loadStorageState(userId);
|
|
415
|
+
if (saved) contextOptions.storageState = saved;
|
|
416
|
+
});
|
|
417
|
+
```
|
|
418
|
+
|
|
419
|
+
### System Packages (`apt.txt`) and Post-Install Hooks
|
|
420
|
+
|
|
421
|
+
Plugins that need system packages list them one per line in `apt.txt`:
|
|
422
|
+
|
|
423
|
+
```
|
|
424
|
+
# plugins/vnc/apt.txt
|
|
425
|
+
x11vnc
|
|
426
|
+
novnc
|
|
427
|
+
python3-websockify
|
|
428
|
+
```
|
|
429
|
+
|
|
430
|
+
For binary downloads or setup not available via apt, add an executable `post-install.sh`:
|
|
431
|
+
|
|
432
|
+
```bash
|
|
433
|
+
# plugins/youtube/post-install.sh
|
|
434
|
+
#!/bin/sh
|
|
435
|
+
set -e
|
|
436
|
+
curl -fL https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
|
|
437
|
+
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp
|
|
438
|
+
```
|
|
439
|
+
|
|
440
|
+
Both are run by `scripts/install-plugin-deps.sh` during Docker build.
|
|
441
|
+
|
|
442
|
+
### Configuration (`camofox.config.json`)
|
|
443
|
+
|
|
444
|
+
`camofox.config.json` controls which plugins are loaded at runtime and during Docker build:
|
|
445
|
+
|
|
446
|
+
```json
|
|
447
|
+
{
|
|
448
|
+
"id": "camofox-browser",
|
|
449
|
+
"name": "Camofox Browser",
|
|
450
|
+
"version": "1.5.2",
|
|
451
|
+
"plugins": ["youtube"]
|
|
452
|
+
}
|
|
453
|
+
```
|
|
454
|
+
|
|
455
|
+
- **`plugins`** -- array of plugin directory names to load. Only these are loaded at startup and have deps installed during build.
|
|
456
|
+
- If the file is missing or has no `plugins` key, **all** plugins in `plugins/` are loaded (backward-compatible).
|
|
457
|
+
- This is camofox's own config. `openclaw.plugin.json` is separate -- it tells the OpenClaw Gateway how to configure camofox as an external service.
|
|
458
|
+
|
|
459
|
+
### Installing Plugins
|
|
460
|
+
|
|
461
|
+
Use the plugin manager to install third-party plugins from git or local paths:
|
|
462
|
+
|
|
463
|
+
```bash
|
|
464
|
+
# Install from git
|
|
465
|
+
npm run plugin install https://github.com/user/camofox-screenshot-plugin
|
|
466
|
+
npm run plugin install git:github.com/user/my-plugin
|
|
467
|
+
|
|
468
|
+
# Install from local directory
|
|
469
|
+
npm run plugin install ./path/to/my-plugin
|
|
470
|
+
|
|
471
|
+
# List installed plugins
|
|
472
|
+
npm run plugin list
|
|
473
|
+
|
|
474
|
+
# Remove a plugin
|
|
475
|
+
npm run plugin remove my-plugin
|
|
476
|
+
```
|
|
477
|
+
|
|
478
|
+
The installer copies the plugin into `plugins/`, adds it to `camofox.config.json`, and runs `npm install` for any npm dependencies. System deps (`apt.txt`, `post-install.sh`) are flagged but must be installed manually or via Docker rebuild.
|
|
479
|
+
|
|
480
|
+
Plugin sources can be:
|
|
481
|
+
- **Git repos** where the root has `index.js` with `register()` (installed as one plugin)
|
|
482
|
+
- **Git repos** with a `plugins/` subdirectory (each subdirectory installed as a separate plugin)
|
|
483
|
+
- **Local directories** with `index.js` and `register()`
|
|
484
|
+
|
|
485
|
+
### Default Plugins
|
|
486
|
+
|
|
487
|
+
Three plugins ship by default:
|
|
488
|
+
|
|
489
|
+
- **youtube** -- YouTube transcript extraction (enabled by default)
|
|
490
|
+
- **persistence** -- Per-user session state persistence to `~/.camofox/profiles/` (enabled by default)
|
|
491
|
+
- **vnc** -- Interactive browser login via noVNC (disabled by default, requires `ENABLE_VNC=1`)
|
|
492
|
+
|
|
493
|
+
The `youtube` plugin ships as a default plugin -- it's listed in `camofox.config.json` and included in the base Docker image with its deps pre-installed. The base image runs `scripts/install-plugin-deps.sh` which reads the config and installs `apt.txt` packages + `post-install.sh` hooks for listed plugins.
|
|
494
|
+
|
|
495
|
+
The `with-plugins` Dockerfile stage is for rebuilding after adding third-party plugins:
|
|
496
|
+
|
|
497
|
+
```bash
|
|
498
|
+
docker build --target with-plugins -t camofox-browser .
|
|
499
|
+
```
|
|
500
|
+
|
|
501
|
+
The `with-plugins` stage re-runs `install-plugin-deps.sh` to pick up any new plugins added to `plugins/`.
|
|
502
|
+
|
|
503
|
+
### OpenClaw Scanner Rules
|
|
504
|
+
|
|
505
|
+
Plugins must follow the same isolation rules as core (see "OpenClaw Scanner Isolation" above):
|
|
506
|
+
- **No `process.env` in plugin files that also have route handlers** -- read config from `ctx.config`
|
|
507
|
+
- **No `child_process` in plugin files that also have route handlers** -- spawn from a separate `lib/` module
|
|
508
|
+
- Violations trigger OpenClaw's `env-harvesting` or `dangerous-exec` scanner alerts
|
|
509
|
+
|
|
510
|
+
### Custom Metrics
|
|
511
|
+
|
|
512
|
+
Plugins create Prometheus metrics via `ctx.createMetric()`. Returns a no-op stub when Prometheus is disabled -- no null checks needed.
|
|
513
|
+
|
|
514
|
+
```js
|
|
515
|
+
// In register(app, ctx):
|
|
516
|
+
const transcriptsTotal = await ctx.createMetric('counter', {
|
|
517
|
+
name: 'camofox_youtube_transcripts_total',
|
|
518
|
+
help: 'YouTube transcripts extracted',
|
|
519
|
+
labelNames: ['method'],
|
|
520
|
+
});
|
|
521
|
+
|
|
522
|
+
// Use anywhere -- works whether Prometheus is enabled or not
|
|
523
|
+
transcriptsTotal.labels('yt-dlp').inc();
|
|
524
|
+
```
|
|
525
|
+
|
|
526
|
+
Supported types: `'counter'`, `'histogram'`, `'gauge'`. Options are standard [prom-client](https://github.com/siimon/prom-client) options (`name`, `help`, `labelNames`, `buckets`, etc.). Metrics auto-register to the shared registry and appear on `/metrics`.
|
|
527
|
+
|
|
528
|
+
For advanced use, `ctx.metricsRegistry()` returns the raw prom-client `Registry` (or `null` when disabled).
|
|
529
|
+

### Example: YouTube Transcript Plugin
|
|
531
|
+
|
|
532
|
+
The YouTube plugin (`plugins/youtube/`) is the reference implementation. It extracts transcripts via yt-dlp with browser fallback, using `ctx` helpers for auth, logging, browser access, and concurrency control.

Key patterns:
|
|
574
|
+
- **Auth**: `ctx.auth()` middleware on the route
|
|
575
|
+
- **Logging**: `ctx.log('info', ...)` -- never `console.log`
|
|
576
|
+
- **Browser access**: `ctx.ensureBrowser()` + `ctx.getSession()` for browser-backed features
|
|
577
|
+
- **Concurrency**: `ctx.withUserLimit()` to respect per-user limits
|
|
578
|
+
- **Metrics**: `ctx.failuresTotal.labels(...)` for core counters, `ctx.createMetric()` for custom
|
|
579
|
+
- **Scanner compliance**: `child_process` in `youtube.js`, route handler in `index.js` -- separate files
|
|
580
|
+
- **System deps**: `apt.txt` lists packages installed via `scripts/install-plugin-deps.sh`
