Start Session

Start a new browser session. Configure timeout, max steps, proxies, and browser type in the request.

Important information:

• The maximum session duration is set to 30 minutes and cannot be changed.
• However, the session_timeout parameter in the request allows you to specify a timeout for the session steps (defaults to 3 minutes). This timeout is triggered on session inactivity, i.e when no operation (i.e agents, scrape, observe, steps, etc.) is performed for a while.
• You can turn on proxies in the request to increase the chances of bypassing bot detection mechanisms (for an additional cost).
• Different browser types are available with different security measures in place to prevent detection. If you are flagged as a bot try to switch to chrome or firefox instead of chromium
