Anchor Browser supports Cloudflare Web Bot Auth HTTP message signing for browser sessions. This allows you to identify as Anchor Browser to websites that require Cloudflare’s web bot authentication, enabling access to protected content and avoiding bot detection. WebBotAuth.io Test

​
How It Works

  1. Session Creation: Create a browser session with web bot auth enabled
  2. HTTP Message Signing: All HTTP requests are automatically signed as Anchor Browser
  3. Authentication: Cloudflare validates the signatures
  4. Access Granted: Successfully authenticated requests can access protected content

​
Using Web Bot Auth

​
How Authentication Works

When you enable web bot auth, Anchor Browser automatically identifies all HTTP requests to websites using our registered identity. This allows you to access protected content that requires Cloudflare’s web bot authentication without any additional configuration.

​
Browser Configuration

{
  "browser": {
    "web_bot_auth": {
      "active": boolean  // Enable/disable web bot auth (default: false)
    }
  }
}

​
SDK Examples

Enable web bot auth by setting the web_bot_auth.active flag to true in your session configuration: 
from anchorbrowser import Anchorbrowser
import os

# Initialize the client
client = Anchorbrowser(api_key=os.getenv("ANCHOR_API_KEY"))

# Session configuration with web bot auth enabled
config = {
    "web_bot_auth": {
      "active": True
    }
}

# Create session with web bot auth
session = client.sessions.create(browser=config)
print(f"Session created: {session.data.id}")
print(f"CDP URL: {session.data.cdp_url}")
print(f"Live view URL: {session.data.live_view_url}")

​
Testing

You can test your web bot auth configuration by visiting https://webbotauth.io/test in a browser session with web bot auth enabled. This site will show you whether your requests are being properly signed and authenticated.
