Using DevTools Using Python

In order to use the API, you must send a valid token with your requests. This article goes over how to get that authentication token.

The token expires in 30 minutes. You can refresh it with the "User Refresh Token" endpoint. Also you can use the automation token and specify the required expiration period yourself (not available in the Starter plan).

Using DevTools

Log in to app.multilogin.com
Open DevTools in your browser. Here's how to do that for Chromium- and Firefox-based browsers:
1. Windows and Linux: press Ctrl + Shift + I
2. macOS: press Cmd + Option + I
Switch to the “Application” tab in the DevTools panel
On the left side menu, click “Local storage” → “https://app.multilogin.com”
Copy the full value of the token attribute

Using Python

Complete the steps below to be able to run the provided script example.

Install the following Python library: requests
Insert your values into the below variables in the script:
1. USERNAME: your Multilogin X account email
2. PASSWORD: your Multilogin X account password (MD5 encryption is not required)

import json
import requests
import hashlib

MLX_BASE = "https://api.multilogin.com"
MLX_LAUNCHER = "https://launcher.mlx.yt:45001/api/v2"
LOCAL_HOST = "http://127.0.0.1"
HEADERS = {'Accept': 'application/json',}

#TODO: Insert your account information in both variables below.
USERNAME = ""
PASSWORD = ""

def sign_in():
    payload = {
        'email': USERNAME,
        'password': hashlib.md5(PASSWORD.encode()).hexdigest()
    }
    r = requests.post(f'{MLX_BASE}/user/signin', json=payload)
    if r.status_code != 200:
        print(f'\nFailed to login: {r.text}\n')
    else:
        response = json.loads(r.text)
        token = response.get('data').get('token')
        print(token)
        return token

# Call the sign_in function to execute it
token = sign_in()
