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.startProfileWithOptions(profile.id, {
    body: {
      arguments: [
        'mute-audio',
      ],
    },
  });

  See the full example here.

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

  See the full example here.

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