How to Upload Custom Chrome Profile?

Custom Chrome profiles allow you to simulate a real-user environment with specific browser settings. Learn how to upload a custom Chrome profile to run your automated tests on TestMu AI.

Uploading Your Custom Chrome Profile

Zip your Chrome profile folder and upload it to the TestMu AI cloud using the API.

Before You Begin

Create or locate the Chrome profile folder you want to use.
Get your API authorization credentials from your TestMu AI dashboard.

Steps

Zip the custom Chrome profile folder and upload it to TestMu AI cloud servers using the API below:

curl --location --request POST 'https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/files/profile/chrome' \

--header 'Authorization: Basic xxxxxx' \

--form 'profile=@"/Users/abc/Desktop/zip.zip"'

After you upload the compressed file, a similar URL will be generated:

https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/profile/chrome/orgId-2939/zip.zip

Add the above generated URL in your test script using the "browserProfile" capability as shown below:

"browserProfile":"https://automation-prod-user-files.s3.amazonaws.com/profile/chrome/orgId-242939/zip.zip"

Managing Your Custom Chrome Profiles

View or delete uploaded Chrome profiles using the API commands below.

To View the List of Uploaded Profiles: Use the below cURL command:

curl --location --request GET 'https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/files/profile/chrome' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic your_auth_key'

To Delete the List of Uploaded Profiles: Use the below cURL command:

curl --location --request DELETE 'https://api.lambdatest.com/automation/api/v1/files/profile/chrome' \
--header 'Authorization: Basic your_auth_key' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '{"key": "zip.zip"}'

Important Notes

Review these constraints before uploading your custom Chrome profile.

The compressed zip file must not exceed 100 MB.
Ensure that you compress the exact profile folder. Compressing the parent folder or a subfolder causes the functionality to fail.
