Lexmount BrowserLexmount Documentation
Choose a Browser SDK for interactive automation or Web Fetch for structured page extraction.
Lexmount has two API surfaces. Choose by task shape rather than programming language alone.
Choose an API
| Goal | Interface | Start here |
|---|---|---|
| Control a real remote browser with Playwright, CDP, contexts, extensions, proxies, downloads, or replay | Browser SDK | Python or Node.js |
| Fetch a public page and return structured content or a reusable DOM snapshot | Web Fetch HTTP API | Web Fetch Quick Start |
| Verify credentials and watch a browser before writing code | Lexmount Console | Console Quick Start |
Browser SDKs create a session and return a CDP connection URL. Web Fetch performs a bounded extraction request and does not expose an interactive browser session.
Browser types
The console uses product names while SDKs retain stable API values:
| Product name | Python | Node.js | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Chromium | browser_mode="normal" | browserMode: 'normal' | Full browser automation and persistent browser features |
| Moli | browser_mode="light" | browserMode: 'light' | Lightweight agent browsing and content-oriented tasks |
Persistent replay is unavailable for Moli sessions. The console also hides persistent context, replay, and stored-download controls when Moli is selected. Feature availability still depends on the project plan and target environment.
Credentials and endpoints
Create an API Key in Settings → API Keys. Browser SDKs read:
LEXMOUNT_API_KEY=<your-api-key>
LEXMOUNT_PROJECT_ID=<your-project-id>
LEXMOUNT_BASE_URL=https://api.lexmount.cnLEXMOUNT_BASE_URL defaults to https://api.lexmount.cn. For the global service, use https://api.lexmount.com and obtain credentials from https://browser.lexmount.com.
Web Fetch uses the same project credentials as X-API-Key and X-Project-Id headers.
