# Catalyst SmartBrowz 

[Catalyst SmartBrowz](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/getting-started/introduction/) components allows you to control, manage a [headless browser](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/headless/introduction/) and perform a variety of operations such as [generating PDFs and screenshots](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/pdfnscreenshot/introduction/) of webpages, [creating templates](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/templates/create-templates/) to generate PDFs with dynamic content, [extracting data](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/smartbrowz/help/dataverse/introduction/) from the web using powerful Catalyst APIs and more.

### Create SmartBrowz Instance

A component instance is an object that can be used to access the properties specific to a particular component. You can create a component instance to execute any headless actions in SmartBrowz.

The `app` reference used in the code below is the [Python object](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/sdk/python/v1/setup/#initializing-the-sdk) returned as a response during SDK initialization. You can create a new `smart_browz`instance as shown below.

```python
smart_browz  = app.smart_browz()
```

This component instance will be used for all SmartBrowz operations in Python SDK.

> **Note:** 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 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.
