Pass command-line arguments to 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 startProfileWithOptions 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 for Chroma:

• --incognito
• --remote-debugging-port
• --user-data-dir
• --proxy-server
• --disable-3d-apis

Below you can find the list for blacklisted arguments for JungleFox:

• --private
• --private-window
• --profile
• --marionette

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.profile.startProfile(profile.id, {
      additionalOptions: [
          {
              key: "pageLoadStrategy",
              value: "eager",
          },
      ],
  });
  

  See the full example here.

• await client.Profile.StartProfileAsync(profile.Id, new BrowserSettings
  {
      Arguments = new List { "mute-audio" }
  });

  See the full example here.

• client.profile.start_profile(profile.id, BrowserSettings(
      arguments=['mute-audio'],
  ))
