Sessions are isolated browser instances running in the cloud that you can control programmatically. Think of them as headless Chrome browsers, but managed, scalable, and equipped with anti-detection, proxies, and captcha solving out of the box. Every operation in Notte—whether you’re running an AI agent, scraping data, or automating a workflow—happens within a session.

​
Quick Start

Create a session and start automating: 
from notte_sdk import NotteClient

client = NotteClient()

# The session is automatically stopped when the context manager is exited
with client.Session(timeout_minutes=2) as session:
	status = session.status()
	print(status)
We strongly recommend using the with statement (context manager) to ensure sessions are automatically stopped when done. This prevents orphaned sessions and unexpected costs. See Session Lifecycle for manual management options.

​
Core Operations

Sessions provide three methods for interacting with the browser:
MethodPurpose
observe()Get the current page state and available actions
execute()Perform an action on the page
scrape()Extract structured data from the page
from notte_sdk import NotteClient

client = NotteClient()

with client.Session() as page:
    url="https://www.linkedin.com/"

    # observe page and take a step
    page.execute(type="goto", url=url)
    obs = page.observe(instructions="click 'jobs'")
    res = page.execute(obs.space.first())
    print(res.message)

    # another one
    obs = page.observe(instructions="dismiss the sign in check")
    res = page.execute(obs.space.first())
    print(res.message)
