So I have figured out how to get started and open a Kameleo browser profile using Python. However, I find the Session ID and Port the chrome browser was started with. I think I have this, but my session ID is throwing an error.

I was expecting the /profiles/{guid}/start endpoint would return a JSON dictionary with the session id and port, also would be nice to have that under the profiles/{guid}/status http calls. I couldn't find it in the swaggerhub documentation.

This is the code I'm using

from kameleo.local_api_client.kameleo_local_api_client import KameleoLocalApiClient
from kameleo.local_api_client.builder_for_create_profile import BuilderForCreateProfile

client = KameleoLocalApiClient()
base_profiles = client.search_base_profiles(
    device_type='desktop',
    browser_product='chrome'
)

# Create a new profile with recommended settings
# for browser fingerprinting protection
create_profile_request = BuilderForCreateProfile \
    .for_base_profile(base_profiles[0].id) \
    .set_recommended_defaults() \
    .build()
profile = client.create_profile(body=create_profile_request)

# Start the browser
client.start_profile(profile.id)

According to the documentation you don't need to get the port and the sessionID manually as you can make the connection to the browser through Kameleo.CLI.exe port.

If you keep on reading the README you will find an example where they showcase the W3C WebDriver connection.

# Connect to the running browser instance using WebDriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("kameleo:profileId", profile.id)
driver = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor=f'{kameleoBaseUrl}/webdriver',
    options=options
)

# Use any WebDriver command to drive the browser
# and enjoy full protection from Selenium detection methods
driver.get('https://google.com')

I could also find this code in Kameleo's example repository.

  • To use the webdriver variable in the example, first run `pip install selenium` then `from selenium import webdriver` – brnbs Oct 08 '21 at 06:51
