The Scenario
It's the last week of the month. Your DevOps lead sends you a message: "Can you pull the Browserbase usage numbers for the cost forecast before Thursday's sync?" You have access to the Browserbase account. You have an Excel — sorry, a Google Sheet — where the monthly infrastructure costs live.
You've done this before. It took longer than it should have.
The bad version:
- Open the Browserbase dashboard, navigate to the Projects view, note the first project's name and ID.
- Click into it to find the usage stats. The browser minutes are in one place, the proxy bytes are somewhere else.
- Manually type the numbers into the sheet. Move to project 2. Repeat.
- By project 6, you realize you wrote the browser minutes for project 3 into project 4's row, and now you're reconciling by hand.
Nobody hired you to transcribe API dashboard numbers into a spreadsheet. The cost model is the interesting part. This isn't.
The Easy Way: One Prompt in SheetXAI
SheetXAI is an AI agent that lives inside your Google Sheet. It connects to Browserbase through its built-in integration, reads the API, and writes the results directly into your sheet — structured, labeled, ready for the cost model.
Here's the prompt for this task:
Pull all Browserbase projects into my Google Sheet and for each one fetch its usage stats — browser minutes used and proxy bytes consumed — then write project name, project ID, browser minutes, and proxy bytes into columns A through D starting at row 2
What You Get
- Column A: project name
- Column B: project ID
- Column C: browser minutes consumed
- Column D: proxy bytes consumed
- Row 1 gets headers automatically if it's empty.
- All active projects land in the sheet. Nothing is skipped.
What If the Data Is Not Quite Ready
The sheet already has last month's data and I need this month's in a new tab
Create a new tab called "May 2026 Usage", then pull all Browserbase projects and their browser minutes and proxy bytes into columns A through D on that tab with headers in row 1
I only want projects that consumed more than 100 browser minutes
Fetch all Browserbase projects with their usage stats and write only the ones where browser minutes consumed is greater than 100 into columns A through D — include project name, project ID, browser minutes, and proxy bytes
I want to compare this month's usage against the numbers already in the sheet
The "April 2026" tab has project names in column A and browser minutes in column C. Pull this month's Browserbase usage, match by project name, and write the current browser minutes into column D labeled "May 2026" — add a formula in column E showing the difference
I need a full cost forecast: pull usage, add per-minute rates, and calculate estimated cost
Fetch all Browserbase projects and their browser minutes and proxy bytes, write them into columns A through D on a tab called "Cost Forecast", then in column E multiply browser minutes by 0.004 and label it "Estimated Browser Cost (USD)" — add a SUM in the last row
Pull, calculate, and forecast in one prompt.
