RemoteDesktop

The following example demonstrates how to request a browser instance, connect to it via Puppeteer, start a remote desktop session, and then stop the remote desktop session.

const svc = new BrowserService(cloudBrowserToken);

const rp = await svc.open();

if (rp.status !== ResponseStatus.SUCCESS || rp.address == null) {
    console.log(`Error requesting browser: ${rp.status}`);
    return;
}
console.log("Browser requested");

const rmt = await svc.startRemoteDesktop(rp.address);
console.log("Remote desktop address:");
console.log(
    `https://browser.cloudbrowser.ai${obtainId(rp.address)}/${rmt.password}`
);
await new Promise((resolve) => setTimeout(resolve, 5000));
await svc.stopRemoteDesktop(rp.address);

This code initializes a browser session, starts a remote desktop session for that browser, and then stops the remote desktop after a short delay. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Browser Session Initialization

• A BrowserService instance is created using cloudBrowserToken for authentication.

• The svc.open() method is called to request a browser session. If the request fails or the WebSocket endpoint (rp.address) is not provided, an error message is logged, and the script terminates.

• If successful, it logs that the browser has been requested.

2. Starting a Remote Desktop Session

• The svc.startRemoteDesktop(rp.address) method is used to enable a remote desktop interface for the browser session. The rmt.password is generated for secure access.

• The script constructs and logs a URL to access the remote desktop session using the browser's ID (obtainId(rp.address)) and password.

3. Delay and Stop Remote Desktop

• The script pauses for 5 seconds using setTimeout, allowing interaction with the remote desktop session during this time.

• After the delay, the svc.stopRemoteDesktop(rp.address) method is called to terminate the remote desktop session.
