Obtaining the Live View URL

Anchor Browser offers a live view feature that allows you to embed an interactive frame of a website as a web element. Headful mode provides a single URL to view the full chrome view, including the address bar. This also ensures the presented tab is always the active tab. To create a browser in headful mode, set the headless parameter to false when creating a session. 
{
  "headless": false
}
Then, use the create-session response to embed the live view URL directly into an iframe: 
<iframe src="{{live_view_url}}" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts" allow="clipboard-read; clipboard-write" style="border: 0px; display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;"></iframe>

Headless

To obtain the browser live session URL, start by creating a session
The session_url points to the browser default first page. If your browser proccess involves creating a new page, collect the corresponding URL by using the live view URLs endpoint.
Then, use the create-session response to embed the live view URL directly into an iframe: 
<iframe src="https://anchorforge.io/devtools-frontend/inspector.html?wss={{session_url}}" sandbox="allow-same-origin allow-scripts" allow="clipboard-read; clipboard-write" style="border: 0px; display: block; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 0px;"></iframe>

​
Advanced Embedding Configuration

​
Embed in Fullscreen View (Hide Navigation Bar)

To use the fullscreen view, replace the live view URL with the following: 
<iframe src="https://anchorforge.io/devtools-frontend/inspector-fullscreen.html?wss={{session_url}}" ...></iframe>

​
Disable browser interactivity

To prevent the end user from interacting with the browser, add the style="pointer-events: none;" attribute to the iframe: 
<iframe ... style="... pointer-events: none;"></iframe>
