Simulate Geolocation
Simulate location of browsers and devices using IP Geo-location on BrowserStack Automate
IP Geolocation is an Enterprise-only feature. You can contact sales to get an Enterprise plan for your account.
If your website serves different content based on the country your end-users live in, you will want to test that functionality. You can use the geolocation capability to test your websites across different countries using BrowserStack’s IP Geolocation feature.
If you are using BrowserStack SDK, you can set the following capabilities in the browserstack.yml file:
| Capability | Description | Expected values |
|---|---|---|
geoLocation |
The country you want your test to detect | A string. An ISO 2 country code FR for France, CN for China See the list of 45+ countries we support |
BrowserStack SDK is a plug-n-play solution that takes care of all the integration steps for you. Using the BrowserStack SDK is the recommended integration method for your project. To know more, visit the SDK core concepts page.
| Capability | Description | Expected values |
|---|---|---|
geoLocation |
The country you want your test to detect | A string. An ISO 2 country code FR for France, CN for China See the list of 45+ countries we support |
Here is the sample code that sets the geolocation to France:
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
MutableCapabilities capabilities = new MutableCapabilities();
HashMap<String, Object> browserstackOptions = new HashMap<String, Object>();
browserstackOptions.put("geoLocation", "FR");
capabilities.setCapability("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);
// ... other capabilities
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
var capabilities = {
'bstack:options' : {
"geoLocation" : "FR",
}
}
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
Dictionary<string, object> browserstackOptions = new Dictionary<string, object>();
browserstackOptions.Add("geoLocation", "FR");
capabilities.AddAdditionalOption("bstack:options", browserstackOptions);
// ... other capabilities
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
$caps = array(
'bstack:options' => array(
"geoLocation" => "FR",
),
)
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
desired_cap = {
'bstack:options' : {
"geoLocation" : "FR",
},
}
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
capabilities = {
'bstack:options' => {
"geoLocation" => "FR",
},
}
# ... other capabilities
| Capability | Description | Expected values |
|---|---|---|
browserstack.geoLocation |
The country you want your test to detect | A string. An ISO 2 country code FR for France, CN for China See the list of 45+ countries we support |
Here is the sample code that sets the geolocation to France:
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.setCapability("browserstack.geoLocation", "FR");
// ... other capabilities
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
var capabilities = {
"browserstack.geoLocation" : "FR"
// ... other capabilities
}
// Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
DesiredCapabilities caps = new DesiredCapabilities();
caps.SetCapability("browserstack.geoLocation", "FR");
// ... other capabilities
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
$caps = array(
"browserstack.geoLocation" => "FR"
# ... other capabilities
);
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
capabilities = {
"browserstack.geoLocation" : "FR"
# ... other capabilities
}
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
caps = Selenium::WebDriver::Remote::Capabilities.new
caps["browserstack.geoLocation"] = "FR"
# ... other capabilities
# Testing with the IP geolocation set to France
my $capabilities = {
"browserstack.networkLogs" => "true"
# ... other capabilities
}
Note: This feature only sets the IP to the selected geolocation, and not guaranteed to set the appropriate timezone. If you want to use the timezone in that country, you will have to configure a custom timezone.
