Although our app supports headless mode, browser profiles require a graphical user interface to function properly. Here's how you can set it up. In just 3 simple steps, you’ll be ready to start using the Multilogin 6 Local API with the Command Line Interface (CLI)!

Step 1: define the app listening port

Define ports MLA

Here's how to predefine your default listening port in the app.properties file:

1. Open Multilogin
2. Go to “My account”
3. Click “Open logs directory” – this will open the folder /.multiloginapp.com/logs
4. Navigate one folder up to /.multiloginapp.com
5. Use any text editor to open app.properties
6. Add a new line to specify the port number: multiloginapp.port=35000
7. Save the changes

Make sure the port number is between 10000 and 49151.

 

You can also find the app.properties file in the .multiloginapp.com folder:

• Windows: C:\Users\%username%\.multiloginapp.com
• Linux: /home/%username%/.multiloginapp.com
• macOS: /Users/%username%/.multiloginapp.com

The folder may be hidden, depending on your OS settings. To display this folder on Mac devices, you can use the following keyboard shortcuts:

• Cmd + Shift + H – to display the current user's folder
• Cmd + Shift + . (period) – to display hidden folders and files

 

Step 2: launch the CLI

Start Multilogin in headless mode

• Windows: headless.exe
• Linux/macOS: ./headless.sh

Start Multilogin in headless mode on port 35000

• Windows: headless.exe -port 35000
• Linux/macOS: ./headless.sh -port 35000

Log in to your Multilogin account

• Windows: cli.exe -login -u [email protected] -p password123
• Linux/macOS: ./cli.sh -login -u [email protected] -p password123

Step 3: use Local API endpoints
