Browser close reasons
A browser session may close for a variety of reasons, occasionally due to connection errors or errors in the headless browser instance. As a best practice, wrap puppeteer.connect
or puppeteer.launch
in a try/catch
↗ statement.
The reason that a browser closed can be found on the Browser Rendering Dashboard in the logs tab ↗. When Cloudflare begins charging for the Browser Rendering API, we will not charge when errors are due to underlying Browser Rendering infrastructure.
