# Create a SmartBrowz Instance

> **Notes:**

* Ensure you have installed the [required package](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/javascript/v1/smartbrowz/overview/#prerequisites) to use this SDK method.

* Any browser action or operation that you code using the Browser Logic function, or any browser automation or web scraping task that you perform using any component of *Catalyst SmartBrowz* is at **your own risk**. We strongly recommend that you use the SmartBrowz components to perform operations on domains that permit the actions, or with proper approval.
Additionally, while Catalyst does provide a secure infrastructure to code your functions, any consequence of the logic you code using Catalyst functions is yours alone.

You can create a `smartbrowz` component reference as shown below. This will not fire a server-side call. You will refer to this component instance in various code snippets while working with SmartBrowz components.

```javascript
// Get a SmartBrowz instance
const smartbrowz = new Smartbrowz();
```
