Get started

Using the SDK

Let the SDK manage Mimic, then automate it with the browser client you already know.

On this page

Run your first script

Choose your language and client to get installation commands and a complete demo. Run the commands, save the demo script, and run it to print Example Domain.

The SDK downloads a verified Mimic runtime from GitHub releases when it is first needed and reuses the local cache. Your automation client is a separate dependency; install the one you want to use.

Launch or connect

LaunchAcquire the runtime, start a process and return a connected session. Closing the session also stops the process it owns.ConnectAttach to a Mimic process you manage elsewhere. Closing the session disconnects your client and leaves that process running.

Keep your native browser API

The session exposes your client's browser or connection. Create Pages, navigate, locate elements and evaluate JavaScript using that client's ordinary API. Page and Context objects remain native objects, so your existing helpers can work with them.

Choose Playwright or Puppeteer in JavaScript, sync or async Playwright in Python, or the appropriate client for another language. Each integration has its own runnable demo.

Configure only what you need

Mimic's supported browser behavior determines what your client can do. Check the compatibility guide when a workload needs rendering or an unsupported browser capability.

Managing your own process? You can also connect directly over CDP.
