Set WebGL from API

In this article we are going to show you how to change WebGL during the creation of your virtual browser profile through the Local API Clients.

To learn more about WebGL and how Kameleo is spoofing it in order to let you bypass anti-bot systems during your web-scraping or browser automation projects please read the following articles:

Concept

During the CreateProfileRequest

POST /profiles/new

You can pass the CreateProfileRequest object that has a WebglSpoofingType property. This can be used to set up WebGL spoofing. Possible values are

• Noise: Get a unique WebGL hash to customize the profile
• Block: Block the WebGL feature in your browser to prevent potential tracking. May cause issues with graphics-intensive websites
• Off: Turn off the spoofing, use the original settings (Default)

We suggest you to use the Off setting given that it's set to default..

To set the WebGL spoofing type, use the WebGL method in the Local API Clients. Below you can find the examples for Javascript and Python:

Examples

• @type {import('@kameleo/local-api-client').CreateProfileRequest} */
  const createProfileRequest = {
    fingerprintId: fingerprints[0].id,
    webgl: 'noise' // Valid values: 'noise', 'block', 'off'
  };
  
  const profile = await client.profile.createProfile(createProfileRequest);

• from kameleo.local_api_client.models import CreateProfileRequest
  from kameleo.local_api_client.models.webgl_spoofing_type import WebglSpoofingType
  
  create_profile_request = CreateProfileRequest(
      fingerprint_id=fingerprints[0].id,
      webgl='noise'  # Options: 'noise', 'block', 'off'
  )
  
  profile = client.profile.create_profile(create_profile_request))

Use the appropriate WebGL spoofing type according to your needs for web related tasks.
