How to pass command-line arguments to the browser?

We recommend that you read the Getting started with Kameleo Automation article before reading this one.

With Kameleo, you can fine-tune the browsers by passing command-line arguments. The arguments are passed either by using the startProfileWithWebDriverSettings function or with a POST request to the /profiles/{guid}/start endpoint. See the documentation on SwaggerHub for details.

Please note that some of the command line arguments are blacklisted as they may interfere with Kameleo. Blacklisted flags:

• --incognito
• --disable-infobars
• --disable-gpu
• --disable-blink-features
• --disable-3d-apis
• --user-data-dir
• --user-agent
• --remote-debugging-port
• --enable-automation
• --profile

For example, you can mute the Chromium-based browsers by setting the --mute-audio command line flag during the profile launch with the following code snippet:

• await client.startProfileWithWebDriverSettings(profile.id, {
    body: {
      argumentsProperty: [
        'mute-audio',
      ],
    },
  });

  See the full example here.

• await client.StartProfileWithWebDriverSettingsAsync(profile.Id, new WebDriverSettings
  {
    Arguments = new List<string> { "mute-audio" },
  });

  See the full example here.

• client.start_profile_with_web_driver_settings(profile.id, WebDriverSettings(
    arguments=["mute-audio"],
  ))
