Use the sync command to upload your local Chrome browser profile — cookies, local storage, extensions, and saved state — directly to WebRun’s cloud. This is the fastest way to get a profile ready for use in sessions.
Sync an Existing Profile
If you’ve already created a profile via the API or dashboard, sync your local browser data to it:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://webrun.ai/sync/sync.sh) --profileId <profileId> --key <apiKey>
| Parameter | Description |
|---|
--profileId | The ID of the existing profile to sync to |
--key | Your WebRun API key |
ready once the upload completes.
Create and Upload in One Step
To create a new profile and upload your local data in a single command, omit the --profileId flag:
bash <(curl -fsSL https://webrun.ai/sync/sync.sh) --key <apiKey>
- Create a new profile on your account
- Upload your local Chrome profile data to it
- Return the new profile ID for use in sessions
Save the profile ID returned by the command — you’ll need it to attach the profile to sessions via profileId.
When to Use Sync
| Scenario | Approach |
|---|
| You’re already logged into sites locally and want to reuse that state | Sync your local profile |
| You want to set up a profile from scratch via automation | Use the API to create a profile, then run a session to populate it |
| You need to back up or transfer a cloud profile | Use the download endpoint |
