Manage Local binary instances for Appium tests with BrowserStack

Use the BrowserStack Local API to check the status of running Local binary instances and disconnect active Local Testing connections during Appium tests.

BrowserStack provides Local APIs so you can monitor and control your running Local binary instances programmatically, instead of managing them from the command line. Use the following requests to check binary status or disconnect an active Local Testing connection.

Determining the status of Local binaries via API

Check the status of all Local binaries that are currently running.

Request:

 curl -X GET "https://www.browserstack.com/local/v1/list?auth_token=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY&last=5&state=running"

Disconnect a Local Testing connection via API

Disconnect an active Local Testing connection through the binary command-line interface.

Request:

curl -X DELETE "https://www.browserstack.com/local/v1/QUERTY1?auth_token=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"

For more info, refer to the Local API for debugging binaries page for more details.
