This guide will get you all set up and ready to use the GoLogin API. We’ll cover how to get started using one of our API clients and how to make your first API request. We’ll also look at where to go next to find all the information you need to take full advantage of our powerful REST API.

Before you can make requests to the GoLogin API, you will need to grab your API key from your dashboard. You find it under Settings » API.

​
Making your first anonymous scrapping request

import { GologinApi } from 'gologin';

// Token can be passed here in code or from env 
const token = process.env.GL_API_TOKEN || 'your dev token here';
const gologin = GologinApi({
  token,
  // If you want to run particular profile you need to pass profileId param
});

async function main() {
  // This line of code creates new profile that will be run. If you want to run existed profile - delete this line of code
  const profile = await gologin.createProfileRandomFingerprint();
  const profileId = profile.id;

  // This line of code adds gologin proxy to the profile.
  await gologin.addGologinProxyToProfile(profileId, 'US');

  // This line of code starts the browser and return object that can be managed by puppeteer
  const { browser } = await gologin.launch({ profileId });

  // Opens new page in browser
  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Goes to website and waits untill all parts of the website is loaded
  await page.goto('https://iphey.com/', { waitUntil: 'networkidle2' });

  // Reads profile check result in website
  const status = await page.$eval('.trustworthy:not(.hide)',
    (elt) => elt?.innerText?.trim(),
  );

  await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 10000));
  console.log('status', status);

  // This line of code deletes used profile. If you dont want to delete used profie - remove this line
  await gologin.deleteProfile(profileId);

  return status;
}

main().catch(console.error)
  .finally(gologin.exit);

​
Running code yourself in Node.js

# Install required packages
npm i gologin

# Run the code - change filename.js to your actual filename and add your token
GL_API_TOKEN=[YOUR_GOLOGIN_API_TOKEN] node filename.js

​
Running code yourself in Python

# create local env for the project
python3 -m venv venv

# Install required packages
source venv/bin/activate && pip install gologin selenium webdriver-manager

# Run the script. Your file should not be named gologin.py as it will cause conflict with import
GL_API_TOKEN=[YOUR_GOLOGIN_API_TOKEN] python3 filename.py
