Features

• Protection from Selenium/WebDriver detection
• Start unlimited number of profiles with different browser fingerprints
• Use authenticated HTTP/SOCKS/SSH proxies in browsers
• Create isolated browsing environments simultaneously
• Use real browser profiles of Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Edge
• Edit, Import or Export browser cookies
• Modify WebRTC parameters
• Modify Geolocation settings
• Modify WebGL fingerprint
• Modify 2D Canvas fingerprint
• Modify Navigator properties
• Modify Screen resolution

Quickstart Guide

1. Install package

pip install kameleo.local_api_client

2. Start the Kameleo.CLI on your computer

./Kameleo.CLI.exe email="[e-mail]" password="Pa$$w0rd"

Note: You need Automation package of Kameleo to access the features described below.

3. Start a browser with out-of-the-box fingerprinting protection

from kameleo.local_api_client.kameleo_local_api_client import KameleoLocalApiClient
from kameleo.local_api_client.builder_for_create_profile import BuilderForCreateProfile

client = KameleoLocalApiClient()
base_profiles = client.search_base_profiles(
    device_type='desktop',
    browser_product='chrome'
)

# Create a new profile with recommended settings
# for browser fingerprinting protection
create_profile_request = BuilderForCreateProfile \
    .for_base_profile(base_profiles[0].id) \
    .set_recommended_defaults() \
    .build()
profile = client.create_profile(body=create_profile_request)

# Start the browser
client.start_profile(profile.id)

Automate browsers with W3C WebDriver

Kameleo uses a WebDriver compatible server to control the browser. WebDriver is a W3C specification and industry standard which provides a platform and HTTP protocol to interact with a browser.

from kameleo.local_api_client.kameleo_local_api_client import KameleoLocalApiClient
from kameleo.local_api_client.builder_for_create_profile import BuilderForCreateProfile
from selenium import webdriver

kameleoBaseUrl = 'http://localhost:5050'
client = KameleoLocalApiClient(kameleoBaseUrl)

# Search Chrome Base Profiles
base_profiles = client.search_base_profiles(
    device_type='desktop',
    browser_product='chrome'
)

# Create a new profile with recommended settings
# for browser fingerprinting protection
create_profile_request = BuilderForCreateProfile \
    .for_base_profile(base_profiles[0].id) \
    .set_recommended_defaults() \
    .build()
profile = client.create_profile(body=create_profile_request)

# Start the browser
client.start_profile(profile.id)

# Connect to the running browser instance using WebDriver
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_experimental_option("kameleo:profileId", profile.id)
driver = webdriver.Remote(
    command_executor=f'{kameleoBaseUrl}/webdriver',
    options=options
)

# Use any WebDriver command to drive the browser
# and enjoy full protection from Selenium detection methods
driver.get('https://google.com')
driver.find_element('name', 'q').send_keys('Kameleo\n')
print(driver.title)

# Stop the browser by stopping the Kameleo profile
client.stop_profile(profile.id)
