Initialization

To initialize the SDK,create an instance of NfigClient with your API key. This connects your application to Nfig and allows interaction with the platform. During initialization, you can also specify the preferred browser mode (LOCAL or REMOTE) and enable debug mode to assist with troubleshooting. 
import { NfigClient } from 'nfig-sdk';

const nfig = new NfigClient({
  apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
  browserMode: "REMOTE", 
  debug: true          
});

ParameterTypeDescription
apiKeystringrequired. Your API key from the Nfig Portal.
browserMode”LOCAL” | “REMOTE”optional. Specifies the browser mode. Defaults to REMOTE.
debugbooleanoptional. Enables debug logging if set to true.

​
Session Management

Note: A managed session in Nfig is active for 5 minutes in remote mode.
(async () => {
    const nfig = new NfigClient({
        browserMode: "REMOTE",
        debug: true
    });
    const { previewUrl } = await nfig.createSession()
    try {
        await nfig.act('Go to google.com')
    } catch (error) {
        await nfig.endSession()
    }
}())

​
Creating a session

Use the createSession method to initialize a session. REMOTE Mode: Automate actions in a remote browser environment.Returns a preview URL for live monitoring. LOCAL Mode: Automate actions in a locally installed browser instance. Only supports Playwright for now.Allows passing the Page context initially, making it available throughout the session, or you can pass it with each method call.

​
Usage Example: REMOTE Mode

(async () => {
  const nfig = new NfigClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", browserMode: "REMOTE", });
  const session = await nfig.createSession();
  console.log(session.previewUrl);
})();

​
Usage Example: LOCAL Mode

import { chromium } from 'playwright';

(async () => {
  const browser = await chromium.launch({ headless: false });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
  const nfig = new NfigClient({ apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY", browserMode: "LOCAL", });
  const session = await nfig.createSession({ currentPage:page });
})();

​
Create Session Options

ParameterTypeDescription
currentPagePageoptional (LOCAL mode only). The Playwright Page instance to be used for the session.
proxybooleanoptional (REMOTE mode only). Enables proxy while creating session.
authOptionsAuthOptionsoptional (REMOTE mode only). Enabled authentication while creating a session.

​
Auth Options in CreateSession

The AuthOptions provides configuration for authentication-related settings when creating a session using the createSession method. It allows specifying the authentication app and other parameters for customizing authentication behavior. The AuthOptions includes the following fields:
ParameterTypeDescription

​
Usage Example: REMOTE Mode with authentication and proxy

import { chromium } from 'playwright';
import NfigClient from 'nfig-sdk';

(async () => {
  const session = await nfig.createSession({
            proxy:true,
            authOptions:{
            authApp:'linkedin'
            }
        });
  console.log(session.previewUrl);
})();

​
Ending a Session

await nfig.endSession();

​
EndSessionResponse

FieldTypeDescription
successbooleanIndicates if the session was ended successfully.
messagestringInformational message about the session termination.
Note: Ending a session is a necessary action to avoid unexpected billing.

​
Exporting Session Video

await nfig.exportVideo(sessionToken: string);

​
ExportVideoResponse

FieldTypeDescription
successbooleanIndicates if the session was ended successfully.
Note: You will an email with the link to exported video.

​
Prompting

LOCAL mode can only take 1 precious action at a time.
Below is an example showing an Airbnb workflow using both modes.

​
Usage example: LOCAL mode

await nfig.act("Go to airbnb");
await nfig.act("search the location as  himachal pradesh");
await nfig.act("select the location as  himachal pradesh");
await nfig.act('click on the check in date');
await nfig.act('choose the date as december 15 2024')
await nfig.act('click on the checkout')
await nfig.act('choose the checkout date as december 20 2024')
await nfig.act('click on the guests')
await nfig.act('Set number of adults as 2')
await nfig.act('click on the search button')

​
Usage example: REMOTE mode

await nfig.act("Go to airbnb");
await nfig.act("Set the location as Himachal Pradesh");
await nfig.act('Set check in date as December 15 2024')
await nfig.act('Set check out date as December 20 2024')
await nfig.act('Set number of adults as 2')
await nfig.act('click on the search button')
