Local API

AdsPower Local API for browser automation, MCP, and AI agent workflows

AdsPower Local API gives developers, technical teams, and AI agent projects a more reliable way to launch, control, query, and orchestrate browser profiles. Connect isolated profile environments with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, MCP, internal task systems, and automation workflows from one local interface.

Selenium Puppeteer Playwright MCP

⌘

Standardized API calls

Create, launch, close, and manage browser profiles through unified API calls so automation tasks stay predictable, repeatable, and easier to support across teams.

AI

AI agent execution gateway

Connect browser profiles with MCP-enabled AI tools so agents can call real browser environments, execute page actions, and complete workflow steps through structured control.

▣

Large-scale profile orchestration

Built for projects that handle many accounts, profiles, and browser tasks, helping teams coordinate bulk profile control, data workflows, and long-running automation.

Without AdsPower Local API

Browser automation workflows are harder to scale

Many browser tasks still depend on manual startup, profile switching, and environment maintenance
Automation scripts lack a stable browser profile control layer for accounts, proxies, and profile data
AI agents and internal tools struggle to access isolated browser environments in a consistent way

With AdsPower Local API

Interfaces, browser profiles, and agents work together

Provide standardized browser execution environments for automation scripts and intelligent agents
Integrate with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, MCP, and custom internal task systems
Support technical teams, data projects, multi-account operations, and large-scale profile workflows

Organize Local API around real developer workflows

Local API is not just a browser launch endpoint. It is a control layer that connects browser profiles, automation frameworks, AI agents, enterprise data processes, and migration workflows into a more scalable technical system.

Bulk management

Built for enterprise-grade browser profile management

During account creation, profile maintenance, permission assignment, and bulk data operations, Local API helps analytics teams, operations teams, and technical projects manage large-scale browser environments more efficiently.

Framework compatibility

Works with mainstream browser automation frameworks

AdsPower Local API can be connected with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, and similar frameworks. Developers can control isolated browser profiles through API calls and complete page interaction, browser testing, data processing, and automated tasks.

MCP

AI semantic control for browser profiles

With AdsPower Local API MCP Server, AI tools can call browser profiles as execution environments. In tools that support MCP, natural language can trigger profile launch, configuration creation, task execution, and browser interaction.

Migration support

Support migration from other fingerprint browser profiles

AdsPower supports migration from selected mainstream fingerprint browser tools, helping teams move historical browser profile assets, reduce reconfiguration work, and rebuild automation workflows faster.

What project types fit Local API best?

Local API is best for teams that need engineering-friendly browser control rather than manual profile operation. It is especially useful for automation development, AI agent control, browser-based data workflows, and enterprise account management.

⚙

Browser automation development

Ideal for engineering teams that need to start, control, and close browser profiles through code, or embed browser capabilities into internal tools, task queues, dashboards, and backend automation systems.

◫

Large-scale data workflows

Run browser-based research, page interaction, data processing, and task rotation in isolated profile environments at scale.

✦

AI agent browser control

Allow MCP-enabled AI tools to launch and control AdsPower browser profiles through structured or natural-language workflows.

▦

Enterprise account operations

Fit teams that need unified management of account assets, permissions, profile data, automation scripts, and browser execution environments.

API calls

Launch and control browser profiles through Local API

Local API gives developers a practical way to connect AdsPower browser profiles with existing automation systems. Whether you need to launch profiles, retrieve WebDriver information, manage execution endpoints, or connect server-side task flows, the API-based model fits technical workflows more naturally.

Standard HTTP API calls
Supports starting, closing, and querying browser profiles
Easy to connect with existing automation systems and AI workflows

Node.js Python cURL

fetch('http://local.adspower/api/v1/browser/start', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ user_id: 'profile_001' })
})
  .then((res) => res.json())
  .then((data) => console.log(data.ws, data.webdriver));

Connect Local API with Selenium, Puppeteer, Playwright, and MCP

AdsPower Local API can fit into everyday development stacks instead of acting as an isolated feature. Developers can use familiar frameworks for browser control, while AI workflows can use MCP to call browser profiles as execution environments.

S

Selenium

Suitable for mature automation testing flows, WebDriver-based projects, backend task scheduling, and integration into existing enterprise development pipelines.

P

Puppeteer

Suitable for Node.js browser control, page interaction, scripted workflows, account task execution, and browser-based automation projects.

PW

Playwright

Suitable for teams that need modern browser control, concurrent task execution, complex page interaction, and multi-scenario automation.

MCP

MCP / AI Agent

Suitable for attaching browser execution capabilities to AI agents, copilots, workflow orchestration systems, and conversational task control.

MCP / AI browser workflow diagram

When an AI tool needs to perform browser-based work, Local API can act as the execution layer between AI instructions and isolated browser profiles. The AI understands the goal, MCP translates the action, Local API launches the environment, and the browser completes the task.

Frequently asked questions

Who is AdsPower Local API best suited for?

AdsPower Local API is best suited for automation developers, data teams, AI agent builders, enterprise account operations, and technical teams that need to launch, close, query, and orchestrate browser profiles through code.

Which automation frameworks can work with Local API?

Local API can be used with common browser automation frameworks such as Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright. It can also connect with custom scripts, server-side task flows, internal tools, and automation platforms.

Does AdsPower Local API support AI tool integration?

Yes. Through MCP Server and related workflows, AI tools that support MCP can call AdsPower browser profiles as execution environments for page interaction, task scheduling, data processing, and browser automation.

What is the difference between Local API and Window Synchronizer?

Window Synchronizer is better for visual, human-led bulk actions across multiple windows. Local API is better for developers who need code-based browser profile control, automation integration, AI agent workflows, and internal system orchestration.

Can other fingerprint browser profiles be migrated?

AdsPower supports migration from selected mainstream fingerprint browser tools, helping teams move historical profile assets, reduce repeated configuration work, and rebuild browser automation workflows more efficiently.
