Use a Browser Profile

Browser Session Management#

Connecting to Sessions#

After creating a session, you'll receive a connection URL for automation frameworks:

Node.js Example#

Best Practices#

5-minute Connection Window: Sessions auto-terminate if not connected within 5 minutes
Immediate Utilization: Use connection URL immediately after generation
Default Context Enforcement: Maintain stealth features by using default browser context

Framework Integration#

Stagehand: AI-driven element selection with self-healing capabilities
Playwright: Built-in auto-waiting and device emulation
Puppeteer: Lightweight Chrome control via DevTools Protocol
Selenium: Cross-browser testing with W3C standardization

Core Capabilities#

Secure File Management (Upload/Download)
High-Fidelity Screenshot Capture
Advanced PDF Generation
Direct Cloud Storage Integration

Real-Time Monitoring#

Session Inspector#

Comprehensive debugging toolkit:
Network waterfall analysis
Console log streaming
CPU/Memory profiling
Interactive session replay

Embedded Live View#

Browser-in-browser integration for:
Real-time process visualization
Interactive authentication flows
Captcha solving assistance
Exception recovery workflows

Session Lifecycle#

While automatic cleanup is enabled by default, consider:
Idle timeout configurations
Persistent connection strategies
Resource allocation thresholds
For complete lifecycle control see Session Management Guide
