Frequently asked questions about Airtop.

General

What is Airtop?

Airtop is a cloud browser platform that lets AI agents interact with the web. It provides cloud browser sessions with AI-powered scraping, page querying, form filling, and monitoring capabilities.

What LLM does Airtop use?

Airtop uses its own AI models — you don't need to provide an LLM API key. The AI is optimized for web page understanding and interaction.

How is Airtop different from browser automation tools like Playwright?

Airtop adds AI-powered capabilities on top of cloud browsers. You describe what you want in natural language instead of writing CSS selectors. You can also use Playwright/Puppeteer/Selenium alongside Airtop's AI APIs via CDP connection.

Billing & Credits

How does billing work?

Airtop uses a credit system. Credits cover AI processing, session CPU time, and proxy bandwidth. Sessions are billed per 30-second increment.

How can I control costs?

• Set timeoutMinutes on sessions to auto-terminate
• Use costThresholdCredits on AI operations to cap per-operation spending
• Use timeThresholdSeconds to limit operation duration
• Terminate sessions promptly when done
• Check the dashboard for usage breakdowns

Do unused credits roll over?

Check the Airtop pricing page for current plan details and rollover policies.

Data Privacy & Security

Is Airtop SOC 2 compliant?

Yes. Airtop is SOC 2 Type II and HIPAA compliant.

Does Airtop use my data for training?

No. Customer data is never used for model training.

How is data encrypted?

• In transit: TLS 1.2+
• At rest: AES-256 encryption
• Profiles: AES-256 encrypted storage

Are sessions isolated?

Yes. Each session runs in an isolated browser environment. No data leaks between sessions, even for the same API key.

Technical

What browsers does Airtop use?

Airtop uses Chromium-based cloud browsers.

What screen resolution is supported?

Default is 1920x1080. Configurable via screenResolution in session or window configuration.

Can I install Chrome extensions?

Yes, through profiles. Install extensions via Live View, save the profile, and restore it in future sessions.

How many concurrent sessions can I run?

Depends on your plan. Check your account limits in the dashboard.

Does Airtop handle JavaScript-rendered pages?

Yes. Cloud browsers fully render JavaScript, SPAs, and dynamic content.

Can I use Airtop with my own proxy?

Yes. Set proxy.type: 'custom' with your proxy URL. You can also use Airtop's built-in residential proxies.

Acceptable Use

What can I use Airtop for?

Airtop is designed for legitimate web automation: data extraction, form filling, monitoring, testing, and AI-powered browsing. All usage must comply with target website terms of service.
