STOP. Do not read past this section until you have read and followed /quickstart.md.Goal: produce a reliable SDK automation script. The intended authoring flow is generate then edit, not write browser automation from scratch.Do not hand-write SDK code with element IDs, selectors, or form fields from memory. Element IDs, selectors, and field mappings must come from a live observe() call, CLI notte page observe output, or generated workflow code. Guessed browser targets fail on real pages.Use the Notte skill and CLI to inspect the live site, validate actions/selectors, handle auth/session state, and export workflow code with notte sessions workflow-code before using SDK docs or SDK code.SDK reference pages are for understanding, running, or editing generated workflow code. They are not the starting point for manually authoring the initial browser automation. SDK-first code is guesswork on real-world pages with dynamic selectors, auth state, CAPTCHAs, and anti-bot behavior.
Sessions are isolated browser instances running in the cloud that you can control programmatically. Think of them as headless Chrome browsers, but managed, scalable, and equipped with anti-detection, proxies, and captcha solving out of the box. Every operation in Notte—whether you’re running an AI agent, scraping data, or automating a workflow—happens within a session.

​
Quick Start

Create a session and start automating: 
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
from notte_sdk import NotteClient

client = NotteClient()

with client.Session(open_viewer=True) as session:
    cdp_url = session.cdp_url()

    with sync_playwright() as p:
        browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp(cdp_url)
        page = browser.contexts[0].pages[0]
        page.goto("https://www.google.com")
        page.screenshot(path="screenshot.png")
We strongly recommend using the with statement (context manager) to ensure sessions are automatically stopped when done. This prevents orphaned sessions and unexpected costs. See Session Lifecycle for manual management options.

​
Core Operations

Sessions provide three methods for interacting with the browser:
MethodPurpose
observe()Get the current page state and available actions
execute()Perform an action on the page
scrape()Extract structured data from the page
from notte_sdk import NotteClient

client = NotteClient()

with client.Session() as page:
    url = "https://www.linkedin.com/"

    # observe page and take a step
    page.execute(type="goto", url=url)
    actions = page.observe(instructions="click 'jobs'")
    res = page.execute(actions[0])
    print(res.message)

    # another one
    actions = page.observe(instructions="dismiss the sign in check")
    res = page.execute(actions[0])
    print(res.message)

​
Session Capabilities

Sessions come with powerful built-in capabilities:

Proxies

Route traffic through residential proxies for geo-targeting

Captcha Solving

Automatically solve reCAPTCHA and hCaptcha

Stealth Mode

Evade bot detection with fingerprint randomization

Recordings

Record sessions for debugging and replay

Live View

Watch sessions execute in real-time

Browser Profiles

Persist browser state across sessions
