Use IP geolocation feature for Espresso tests

Use IP geolocation to test location based scenarios for your Espresso test executions on BrowserStack App Automate.

BrowserStack’s IP geolocation feature allows you to test app behavior from different locations by using IP addresses hosted in 45+ countries around the world. By incorporating IP geolocation into your tests, you can verify scenarios such as localized pricing, languages, product listings, and much more.

With IP geolocation enabled, traffic from your mobile app originates from an IP address hosted in the country you choose. With over 45+ countries to choose from, you can test how your mobile app behaves across the world.

To specify the location, pass the geoLocation parameter in the REST API request to start Espresso test execution. You need to pass the two-letter country code for the desired location.

REST API endpoint:

POST /app-automate/espresso/build

The following table lists the country codes you can use with the geoLocation parameter:
