Authenticated Browser Research Showcase¶
This example demonstrates the full handoff: an authenticated browser researcher reads a JavaScript application, a dedicated trading/risk agent decides whether to trade, and a separate publisher can post a truthful trade receipt to an explicitly authorized account.
Install the optional browser runtime first:
pip install "lumibot[browser]"
patchright install chromium
Set research_url and a named host-scoped credential profile in the hosting
application. For sites whose login fields are not self-describing, provide
research_login_selectors with username, password, and optional
submit selectors. Never commit passwords or pass them in an agent prompt.
Publishing is off by default: publish_enabled=False. Enable it only for an
owned test account or an account you are authorized to automate, provide publish_url
and its separate credential profile, and validate the site terms. The publisher
must report observed order status truthfully, use a stable idempotency key, and
capture a screenshot/action receipt. Provide publish_form_selectors for the
idempotency_key, receipt, and submit fields when publishing through a
form. A submitted order is not a filled order.
Verified execution¶
The committed regression test runs this Strategy through
PandasDataBacktesting against an owned JavaScript fixture. The browser
researcher performs a real login through the built-in browser tools and captures
a screenshot/trace; the risk agent fills one simulated SHOW share; the separate
publisher posts an idempotent receipt keyed by the order ID and captures a
second screenshot. No third-party account is touched.
The agent currently reasons from rendered visible text, DOM extraction, browser state, and action results. Screenshots are durable audit evidence. They are not yet supplied to the model as native multimodal image inputs.
Inspect the execution receipt.
