Manage Local binary instances for XCUI tests

Manage the local binary instances for testing the mobile apps that retrieve data from private or internal servers on BrowserStack App Automate.

If you run multiple Local Testing connections, for example across different CI/CD jobs, you need visibility into which binaries are active and a way to close connections you no longer need. Use the following REST APIs to check the status of your running Local binaries and disconnect a specific connection.

Determine the status of Local binaries via API

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

Example cURL 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.

Example cURL request:

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