This simple automation script in Python uses the Selenium library to manipulate a profile in Multilogin X. It performs the following actions:
- Sign in using Multilogin X API
- Start the profile defining Selenium as the selected automation type
- Retrieve the port used by the running profile
- Start a Selenium driver on localhost using the retrieved port
- Use the driver to manipulate browser actions
- Stop the profile in 5 seconds
Before you start
- Install the following Python libraries:
- requests
- selenium
- Insert your values into the below variables in the script:
Running the script
- Make sure the agent is connected, as it makes profile launching possible
- By default, the script below works for Mimic. To use it for Stealthfox, replace
options=ChromiumOptions()withoptions=Options()in the following line:driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=f'{LOCALHOST}:{selenium_port}', options=ChromiumOptions()) - Run the
.pyfile with your automation code
