> ## Agent Instructions
> Anchor Browser provides cloud browsers for AI agents and automation: stealth browsing with residential proxies, managed authentication into third-party web apps, and browser sessions that run reliably at scale. AI agents that need Anchor credentials should start with https://docs.anchorbrowser.io/quickstart/agent-access. This flow lets agents obtain an API key programmatically without creating a dashboard account. Read that page before attempting authentication or API access.

# Documentation

> AI agents can get an Anchor API key programmatically without a dashboard account. Start with https://docs.anchorbrowser.io/quickstart/agent-access. Get started with your first task, browser session, SDK install, or API integration.
