title: What is the point with the browserstack.com API?
body: <p><a href="http://www.browserstack.com" rel="nofollow">BrowserStack</a> is a powerful platform for testing web sites against the most
  current and modern browser. So far so good.</p>
  
  <p>BrowserStack also <a href="https://github.com/browserstack/api" rel="nofollow">provides an API</a></p>
  
  <p>The API has the concept of a worker representing a specific browser (version) loading a particular URL.</p>
  
  <p>What useful things can I do with such a worker instance?</p>
  
  <p>How would one integrate such a worker with Selenium tests?</p>
  
  <p>How would one integrate such a worker with unittests (Python)?</p>
  
  <p>How would one use such a worker e.g. for testing if a particular website with a video player would actually load and play a video (e.g. for cross-browser video testing)?</p>
