Multilogin port allocation Command Line Interface (CLI) Local API Videos on the topic

Multilogin supports both Command Line Interface (CLI) and Local API. This guide will introduce the basic CLI commands and Local API endpoints, along with usage examples.

To start using the Local API, follow these three steps:

Predefine the application listening port
Launch Multilogin manually or with CLI
Use Local API endpoints

Multilogin port allocation

You need to predefine the application port to use the Local API endpoints. Once set, you can refer to the Multilogin application through this port.

Find the app.properties file in the .multiloginapp.com directory (depending on your OS settings, it may be hidden in your system):
1. Windows: C:\Users\%username%\.multiloginapp.com
2. Linux: /home/%username%/.multiloginapp.com
3. macOS: /Users/%username%/.multiloginapp.com

To find this folder on a Mac, open Finder and press Cmd + Shift + H to open a user folder, then press Cmd + Shift + . (period) to show hidden files. After that, go to the .multiloginapp.com folder.

Open the app.properties file in any text editor
Add the following string: multiloginapp.port=[PORT_NUMBER]

The port number has to be in the range of 10000 to 49151.

Save the app.properties file

Command Line Interface (CLI)

Before entering the following commands into the Command prompt, make sure your Cmd/Terminal is open in the directory specified below.

Multilogin version 6.0 or higher:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Multilogin\headless
macOS: /Applications/multilogin.app/Contents/MacOS/multilogin.app/Contents/MacOS
Linux: /opt/Multilogin/headless

Multilogin version 5.19 or lower:

Windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Multilogin
macOS: /Applications/multilogin.app/Contents/MacOS

If you are using a UNIX system, make sure to add execution permissions to the .sh file. You can do it by using the chmod +x command (for example, chmod +x headless.sh).

Starting Multilogin in headless mode:

Windows: headless.exe
Linux/macOS: ./headless.sh

Starting Multilogin in headless mode on a predefined port (35000 used as an example):

Windows: headless.exe -port 35000
Linux/macOS: ./headless.sh -port 35000

Keep in mind that while our app can run in headless mode, the browser profiles cannot. You'll need a system with a graphical user interface to use them.

Logging in to your Multilogin account:

Windows: cli.exe -login -u user@example.com -p password123
Linux/macOS: ./cli.sh -login -u user@example.com -p password123

Local API

Local API endpoints are available in Multilogin versions 5.4 or higher: check out our Swagger documentation.

Once you start Multilogin manually or with CLI, you can use Local API endpoints. The Local API lets you programmatically access and modify Multilogin browser profiles. You can create new profiles, get a list of all profiles, add profiles to groups, and more.
