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.

Fields

boolean | undefined
Whether to try to automatically solve captchas
number | undefined
Maximum session lifetime in minutes (absolute maximum, not affected by activity).
number | undefined
Idle timeout in minutes. Session closes after this period of inactivity (resets on each operation).
boolean | (NotteProxy | ExternalProxy | TailnetProxy)[] | undefined
List of custom proxies to use for the session. If True, the default proxies will be used.
"chromium" | "chrome" | "chrome-nightly" | "chrome-turbo" | undefined
The browser type to use. Supported values are chromium and chrome. chrome-nightly and chrome-turbo are legacy aliases for chrome.
string | null | undefined
The user agent to use for the session
string[] | null | undefined
Overwrite the chrome instance arguments
number | null | undefined
The width of the viewport
number | null | undefined
The height of the viewport
"5:4" | "16:9" | null | undefined
Viewport shape preset. When set, the backend fits the largest rectangle of this aspect ratio inside the sampled available screen area. Cannot be combined with explicit viewport_width/viewport_height.
string | null | undefined
The CDP URL of another remote session provider.
"raw" | "full" | "last_action" | undefined
The type of screenshot to use for the session.
SessionProfile | null | undefined
Browser profile configuration for state persistence
boolean | undefined
Whether to use web bot authentication.
{ [key: string]: string; } | null | undefined
Extra HTTP headers to be sent with every request.
string | null | undefined
The vault to use for the session
string[] | undefined
Managed Auth connection IDs to verify and, when necessary, authenticate inside this session before it is returned.
boolean | undefined
Whether to wait for Managed Auth before returning the session. Defaults to true. When true, authentication failure or timeout fails session creation; when false, authentication continues in the background after the browser is ready.
boolean | undefined
Enable Notte’s highest-fidelity browser environment for sites with sophisticated bot detection. Available to approved workspaces.
string | null | undefined
Playwright selector to scope the scrape to. Only content inside this selector will be scraped.
Whether to scrape links from the page. Links are scraped by default.
boolean | undefined
Whether to scrape images from the page. Images are scraped by default.
string[] | null | undefined
HTML tags to ignore from the page
boolean | undefined
Whether to only scrape the main content of the page. If True, navbars, footers, etc. are excluded.
boolean | undefined
Whether to only scrape images from the page. If True, the page content is excluded.
unknown
The response format to use for the scrape. Use a JSON Schema object; high-level Node agent and scrape methods also accept a Zod schema
string | null | undefined
Additional instructions to use for the scrape. E.g. ‘Extract only the title, date and content of the articles.’
Whether to use link/image placeholders to reduce the number of tokens in the prompt and hallucinations. However this is an experimental feature and might not work as expected.
