Capture

There is only one Lacus instance available.

The Lacus instance has the following capabilities:

Headed captures not allowed.
It supports remote headed captures: if enabled, triggering a capture will return a URL where you can interact with the capture.
Trusted timestamps are generated by default.
Invisible Internet Project (I2P) is enabled, you can capture URLs with a .i2p TLD.
Tor is enabled, you can capture URLs with a .onion TLD, or capture any URLs via tor.

Browser interface:

Headless: no interaction with the browser and default instrumentation.

[Disabled] Headfull: a browser window will appear shortly after the capture is launched.

Headfull (in a remote X server): click on the link in the page shown after the capture is launched.

Select the proxy to use on that lacus instance:

No predefined proxy selected.

Use the current user-agent of your own browser:

CCBot/2.0 (https://commoncrawl.org/faq/)

Pick the user-agent of your choice:

OS type:

Operating System:

Device name:

Type the user-agent of your choice:

User-Agent:

Depending on the User-Agent, Lookyloo will select a specific browser for the capture (Firefox, Chromium, or WebKit).

Firefox: Better at bypassing bot detections
Chromium: Better HAR file, making the tree more reliable

You may want to do the same capture with different browser to see the difference.

Allow tracking:

We'll attempt to click on the button allowing the website captured to violate your privacy.

Enable JavaScript:

If disabled, the browser will not run any JavaScript when rendering the page.

Proxy:

Final wait time:

The capture will wait for that time (in sec) after the instrumentation is over.

Max capture time:

The capture will stop regardless the state of the page after this time.

Viewport:

Width

Height

The size of the browser window (default is 1280x720), if possible, the screenshot will take the full page and not just the viewport.

Referer:

Sets the Referrer HTTP header.

Browser locale:

Sets the Accept-Language HTTP header.

Other HTTP headers:

The headers will be added to the request. One header per line.
For Referrer, Accept-Language (Locale), Authorization (HTTP Authentication), Cookie, and DNT (Do Not Track), please use the dedicated fields in this form.

Timezone:

Defaults to localtime: CEST (UTC+0200).

Color scheme:

Geolocation:

Latitude

Longitude

The values are passed to captured website if it requests them via the Geolocation API.

HTTP Basic Authentication

Username

Password

The authentication credentials will be stored on the lookyloo instance and potentially accessed by third parties (either because the Lookyloo instance is public, or people other than you have access to the instance). If that's the case, please make sure none of them can be used to login as yourself on websites.

Storage state:

The file has to be a storage stste from another lookyloo capture.

The storage state will be stored on the lookyloo instance and potentially accessed by third parties (either because the Lookyloo instance is public, or people other than you have access to the instance). If that's the case, and as the stotage state may contain login credentials and other kind of unique identifiers, please make sure none of them can be used to login as yourself on websites.

Init Script

The JavaScript code you set in this field will be executed on every page as described in the Playwright documentation . Invalid or broken code there may cause the capture to fail.

Cookies:

The file can either be the JSON export from the Firefox plugin Cookie Quick Manager or from an other Lookyloo capture.

The cookies will be stored on the lookyloo instance and potentially accessed by third parties (either because the Lookyloo instance is public, or people other than you have access to the instance). If that's the case, please make sure none of them can be used to login as yourself on websites.

Do not Track (discontinued):

Sets the DNT HTTP header.
