pyanty

A Python client for the Dolphin Anty API. It handles browser profile management and establishes remote debugging connections so you can attach Selenium, Playwright, Patchright, or Pyppeteer to Dolphin profiles.

Note: The Dolphin Anty desktop application must be running locally for the automation features (browser launching, port binding) to work. The local app exposes an API on port 3001 which this library hooks into.

Installation

Install via pip. By default, it installs dependencies for Selenium.

pip install pyanty

If you plan to use other automation engines, install the respective extras:

pip install pyanty[playwright]
pip install pyanty[patchright]
pip install pyanty[pyppeteer]
pip install pyanty[all]

Authentication

You can pass your API key explicitly when initializing the client. If you omit the API key, pyanty will try to scrape your current session token directly from Dolphin's local LevelDB storage. This only works if you are logged into the desktop app on the same machine.

from pyanty import DolphinAPI

# Auto-fetches token from LevelDB (Windows/macOS/Linux)
api = DolphinAPI()

# Or pass it explicitly
api = DolphinAPI(api_key="your_api_token")

Usage Examples

1. Managing profiles and attaching Selenium

This creates a profile with a random Windows fingerprint, launches it, and attaches a Selenium webdriver.

import pyanty as dolphin
from pyanty import DolphinAPI, STABLE_CHROME_VERSION

api = DolphinAPI()

# Generate a basic Windows fingerprint
fingerprint = api.generate_fingerprint(
    platform='windows', 
    browser_version=STABLE_CHROME_VERSION
)

profile_data = api.fingerprint_to_profile(name='selenium_test', fingerprint=fingerprint)
profile_id = api.create_profile(profile_data)['browserProfileId']

# Start the profile via the local Dolphin app
response = dolphin.run_profile(profile_id)
port = response['automation']['port']

# Attach Selenium
driver = dolphin.get_driver(port=port)
driver.get('https://example.com/')
print(driver.title)
driver.quit()

# Clean up
dolphin.close_profile(profile_id)
api.delete_profiles([profile_id])

2. Playwright / Patchright

import asyncio
import pyanty as dolphin
from pyanty import DolphinAPI, STABLE_CHROME_VERSION

api = DolphinAPI()
fingerprint = api.generate_fingerprint(platform='windows', browser_version=STABLE_CHROME_VERSION)
profile_data = api.fingerprint_to_profile(name='playwright_test', fingerprint=fingerprint)
profile_id = api.create_profile(profile_data)['browserProfileId']

run_info = dolphin.run_profile(profile_id)
port = run_info['automation']['port']
ws_endpoint = run_info['automation']['wsEndpoint']

async def main():
    # Use core='patchright' if you need the undetectable version
    browser = await dolphin.get_browser(ws_endpoint, port, core='playwright')
    pages = await browser.pages()
    page = pages[0]
    
    await page.goto('https://example.com/')
    await browser.disconnect()

asyncio.run(main())

dolphin.close_profile(profile_id)
api.delete_profiles([profile_id])

Fingerprints

By default, Dolphin provides its own fingerprints. The library also includes parsers and generators for Bablosoft and Kameleo formats if you need different distribution curves.

Bablosoft Fingerprints

fingerprint =[]
while not 'ua' in fingerprint:
    # Tags can be: 'Desktop', 'Mobile', 'Microsoft Windows', 'Apple Mac', 'Android', 'Linux', 'Chrome', 'Safari', etc.
    fingerprint = api.generate_fb_fingerprint(tags=['Desktop', 'Microsoft Windows', 'Chrome'])

data = api.fingerprint_to_profile(name='bablosoft_profile', fingerprint=fingerprint)
profile_id = api.create_profile(data)['browserProfileId']

Profile Customization

You can mutate the dictionary returned by fingerprint_to_profile before creating or editing the profile.

data = api.fingerprint_to_profile(name='custom_profile', fingerprint=fingerprint)

# Proxies
data['proxy'] = {
  'name': 'http://127.0.0.1:8080',
  'host': '127.0.0.1',
  'port': '8080',
  'type': 'http',
  'login': 'user',
  'password': 'password'
}

# Geolocation overrides
data['geolocation'] = {
  'mode': 'manual',
  'latitude': 52.5200,
  'longitude': 13.4050,
  'accuracy': 100
}

api.create_profile(data)

Extensions

The API allows installing extensions globally so they are available when profiles launch.

# From Chrome Web Store URL
api.load_extension_from_url('https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cookie-editor/hlkenndednhfkekhgcdicdfddnkalmdm')

# From a local zip archive
api.load_extension_from_zip(extension_name='MyExtension', path='./build/extension.zip')

# List and delete
exts = api.get_extensions()
api.delete_extensions([ext['id'] for ext in exts['data']])

Quirks and Limitations

• Garbage Collection: When calling dolphin.close_profile(profile_id), the module triggers a local directory cleanup in the Dolphin app data folder. Be aware of this if you rely on maintaining local state outside of standard browser persistence.
• Driver Download: If get_driver() doesn't find the correct Chromedriver for your OS, it will try to download it straight into memory from Dolphin's servers and extract it. This might block your thread for a few seconds on the very first run.
• LevelDB locks: The token auto-fetcher reads the LevelDB database directly. If Dolphin is actively writing to it at the exact moment of instantiation, it might throw a read error. Just pass the token manually if this becomes an issue.
