Is mutually exclusive with proxyCity. Takes in two letter state code. - `proxyCity` string, nullable: Desired Country. Is mutually exclusive with proxyState. Some cities might not be supported, so before using a new city, we recommend trying it out - `region` 'us' | 'us-central' | 'us-west' | 'us-east' | 'asia-south' | 'europe-west': Region to run the session in. The asia-south region is only available on Enterprise and Select plans. Get in touch at https://calendly.com/shri-hyperbrowser/demo. - `operatingSystems` OperatingSystem[] - `device` Device[] - `platform` Platform[] - `locales` ISO6391[] - `screen` ScreenConfig - `width` number - `height` number - `solveCaptchas` boolean - `solverType` 'visual': Optional CAPTCHA solver mode. Set to visual to use the visual reCAPTCHA solver. - `adblock` boolean - `trackers` boolean - `annoyances` boolean - `enableWebRecording` boolean - `enableVideoWebRecording` boolean: enableWebRecording must also be true for this to work - `profile` CreateSessionProfile - `id` string - `persistChanges` boolean - `persistNetworkCache` boolean: When persisting profile changes, also persist the browser's network cache (HTTP cache). - `acceptCookies` boolean - `staticIpId` string, uuid - `saveDownloads` boolean - `extensionIds` string[] - `urlBlocklist` string[] - `browserArgs` string[] - `imageCaptchaParams` object[], nullable - `imageSelector` string - `inputSelector` string - `timeoutMinutes` number - `enableWindowManager` boolean - `enableWindowManagerTaskbar` boolean - `viewOnlyLiveView` boolean - `disablePasswordManager` boolean - `enableAlwaysOpenPdfExternally` boolean - `disablePostQuantumKeyAgreement` boolean - `enableWebMcp` boolean: Enable discovery and invocation of WebMCP tools exposed by pages in this browser session. Must be set when creating the session; disabled by default. - `credentials` union[]: Secrets the session may fill with POST /api/session/{id}/credentials/fill: a secret's name, `{"secret": name}`, `{"vault": name}` for a vault, attached by reference so each fill uses its entries as they are then, or `{"onePassword": name}` for an `op_token` secret that 1Password fills read with. You can only attach them when you create the session; an empty list is the same as none. Only `secret` and `totp` secrets can be attached as a name, `secret` or vault entry, and only an `op_token` as `onePassword`. Requires secrets to be enabled for your team; please contact support to enable them (otherwise 403 SECRETS_FEATURE_DISABLED), and, for restricted API keys, the secrets.use scope. The session runs on a Firecracker browser and Chrome's password manager is turned off. An unknown name returns 404 SECRET_NOT_FOUND or VAULT_NOT_FOUND, an `op_token` secret named as a credential, or a `onePassword` that isn't an `op_token`, 409 SECRET_TYPE_MISMATCH, and a customer-protected secret 400 SECRET_REQUIRES_CUSTOMER_UNWRAP (they can't be typed into pages; a vault holding them can still fill its other entries). If the session can't run on Firecracker, you get 400 CREDENTIALS_UNSUPPORTED_RUNTIME, or 429 when no Firecracker host is free (retry shortly). Restoring a browser snapshot taken with the password manager on returns 400 CREDENTIALS_SNAPSHOT_PASSWORD_MANAGER_ENABLED. - union - string: A secret's name. - object - `secret` string, required: A secret's name. - object - `vault` string, required: A vault's name. It's attached by reference: each fill uses the vault's entries as they are then. - object - `onePassword` string, required: An `op_token` secret's name: 1Password fills in this session may read with it. The token itself is never typed. - `webBotAuth` union: Sign the session's requests with [Web Bot Auth](/sessions/web-bot-auth) so websites can verify that they come from Hyperbrowser. Pass `{"onlyDomains": [...]}` to sign only for those hosts. Available on request: contact info@hyperbrowser.ai to get access. Supported when creating a session and for agent tasks; scrape, crawl, and extract reject it. Cannot be combined with `useUltraStealth` or `startFromSnapshot`. - boolean - WebBotAuthParams: Limits Web Bot Auth signing to some hosts. - `onlyDomains` string[]: Sign only requests to these hostnames (for example `example.com`) and their subdomains. No scheme, port, or path. - `proxyRoutes` ProxyRoute[]: Choose, per host, whether traffic goes through the session's proxy or straight out. The first route that matches a host decides; hosts that no route matches use the proxy. At most 128 patterns across all routes. Requires `useProxy`. Available on request: contact info@hyperbrowser.ai to get access. See [proxy routes](/sessions/proxy-routes). Only supported when creating a session; cannot be combined with `allowInternetAccess: false`, `allowOut`, or `denyOut`. - `match` union, required: A hostname, `*.example.com` (subdomains, not `example.com` itself), or `*` (every host), or a list of them. Ports, URLs, and IP addresses are not accepted. - string - string[] - `proxy` 'direct' | 'default', required: `direct` sends the traffic straight out of the browser's machine; `default` sends it through the session's proxy. - `useCustomApiKeys` boolean - `apiKeys` object - `meta` string - `useComputerAction` boolean ## Response `200` Meta computer use task started successfully - StartMetaComputerUseTaskResponse - `jobId` string, required - `liveUrl` string, nullable ## Other responses - `500`: Server error ## Changes - **2026-10-15** `225d94fe61a0`: 1 info - added `subschema #4` to the `sessionOptions/credentials/items/` request property `oneOf` list - **2026-10-15** `6ca0b00ee564`: 3 info - added the new optional request property `sessionOptions/credentials` - added the new optional request property `sessionOptions/proxyRoutes` - added the new optional request property `sessionOptions/webBotAuth` - **2026-10-13** `c018879fa60b`: 1 info - added the new `muse-wonder-1.0` enum value to the request property `llm` - **2026-10-11** `6bf1269eede9`: 1 info - added the new optional request property `sessionOptions/enableWebMcp` - **2026-09-07** `0ed5a281f123`: 1 info - endpoint added [Operation history](https://skmtc.dev/hyperbrowser/apis/hyperbrowser-api/changes/api/task/meta-computer-use/post.md) --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/hyperbrowser/apis/hyperbrowser-api.md) - [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/hyperbrowser/apis/hyperbrowser-api/llms.txt) - [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/hyperbrowser/apis/hyperbrowser-api/revisions/ef089024c533?raw)
