This simple automation script in Python uses the Selenium library to manipulate a profile in Multilogin. It performs the following actions:

Sign in using Multilogin 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:
1. requests
2. selenium
Insert your values into the below variables in the script:
1. USERNAME: your Multilogin account email
2. PASSWORD: your Multilogin account password (MD5 encryption is not required)
3. FOLDER_ID, PROFILE_ID: find these values using our guides on DevTools or Postman

Running the script

Launch the app, as it makes profile launching possible

By default, the script below works for Mimic. To use it for Stealthfox, replace options=ChromiumOptions() with options=Options() in the following line:
driver = webdriver.Remote(command_executor=f'{LOCALHOST}:{selenium_port}', options=ChromiumOptions())
Run the .py file with your automation code

Script example

import requests
import hashlib
import time
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chromium.options import ChromiumOptions
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.options import Options

MLX_BASE = "https://api.multilogin.com"
MLX_LAUNCHER = "https://launcher.mlx.yt:45001/api/v1"
MLX_LAUNCHER_V2 = (
    "https://launcher.mlx.yt:45001/api/v2"  # recommended for launching profiles
)
LOCALHOST = "http://127.0.0.1"
HEADERS = {"Accept": "application/json", "Content-Type": "application/json"}
# TODO: Insert your account information in both variables below
USERNAME = ""
PASSWORD = ""
# TODO: Insert the Folder ID and the Profile ID below
FOLDER_ID = ""
PROFILE_ID = ""


def signin() -> str:
    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"\nError during login: {r.text}\n")
    else:
        response = r.json()["data"]
    token = response["token"]
    return token


def start_profile() -> webdriver:
    r = requests.get(
        f"{MLX_LAUNCHER_V2}/profile/f/{FOLDER_ID}/p/{PROFILE_ID}/start?automation_type=selenium",
        headers=HEADERS,
    )
    response = r.json()
    if r.status_code != 200:
        print(f"\nError while starting profile: {r.text}\n")
    else:
        print(f"\nProfile {PROFILE_ID} started.\n")
    selenium_port = response["data"]["port"]
    driver = webdriver.Remote(
        command_executor=f"{LOCALHOST}:{selenium_port}", options=ChromiumOptions()
    )
    # For Stealthfox profiles use: options=Options()
    # For Mimic profiles use: options=ChromiumOptions()
    return driver


def stop_profile() -> None:
    r = requests.get(f"{MLX_LAUNCHER}/profile/stop/p/{PROFILE_ID}", headers=HEADERS)
    if r.status_code != 200:
        print(f"\nError while stopping profile: {r.text}\n")
    else:
        print(f"\nProfile {PROFILE_ID} stopped.\n")


token = signin()
HEADERS.update({"Authorization": f"Bearer {token}"})
driver = start_profile()
driver.get("https://multilogin.com/")
time.sleep(5)
stop_profile()
