Start an instance

1 from scrapybara import Scrapybara
2 
3 client = Scrapybara(api_key="your_api_key")
4 instance = client.start_ubuntu()

Start a browser session

1 cdp_url = instance.browser.start().cdp_url

Authenticate the session (optional)

To save the authenticated state of a browser session, use the saveAuth method.

1 auth_state_id = instance.browser.save_auth(name="default").auth_state_id

Now, you can reuse the saved auth state on other instances by passing the auth_state_id to the authenticate method. The browser needs to be started first.

1 instance.browser.authenticate(auth_state_id=auth_state_id)

Connect to the browser

1 from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
2 
3 playwright = sync_playwright().start()
4 browser = playwright.chromium.connect_over_cdp(cdp_url)

Interact with the browser

1 page = browser.new_page()
2 page.goto("https://scrapybara.com")
3 screenshot = page.screenshot()

Stop the browser session

1 instance.browser.stop()
