Adspower Antidetect Browser

AdsPower Antidetect Browser Skill

Skill by ara.so — Marketing Skills collection.

Overview

AdsPower is an antidetect browser platform that allows marketing teams to manage multiple browser profiles with unique fingerprints for multi-account operations, ad campaigns, and automation workflows. Each profile has isolated cookies, storage, and unique browser fingerprints to prevent account association and detection.

Installation

AdsPower requires the desktop application installed on your system:

1. Download AdsPower from the official website
2. Install the application for your operating system (Windows/macOS)
3. Launch AdsPower and create an account
4. Enable API access in Settings → API Settings

API Access

AdsPower provides a local HTTP API (default port: 50325) for programmatic control.

Base Configuration

import requests
import os

# AdsPower local API endpoint
ADSPOWER_API_BASE = "http://localhost:50325/api/v1"

# Optional: If using cloud API
ADSPOWER_API_KEY = os.getenv("ADSPOWER_API_KEY")

const axios = require('axios');

const ADSPOWER_API_BASE = 'http://localhost:50325/api/v1';
const API_KEY = process.env.ADSPOWER_API_KEY;

Core Operations

Create Browser Profile

def create_profile(name, group_id=None, fingerprint_config=None):
    """Create a new browser profile"""
    url = f"{ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/user/create"
    
    payload = {
        "name": name,
        "group_id": group_id or "0",
        "domain_name": "",
        "open_urls": [],
        "repeat_config": fingerprint_config or []
    }
    
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
    data = response.json()
    
    if data.get("code") == 0:
        return data["data"]["id"]
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Failed to create profile: {data.get('msg')}")

# Usage
profile_id = create_profile(
    name="Campaign_Profile_1",
    group_id="marketing_team"
)
print(f"Created profile: {profile_id}")

async function createProfile(name, groupId = '0') {
  const response = await axios.post(`${ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/user/create`, {
    name: name,
    group_id: groupId,
    domain_name: '',
    open_urls: []
  });
  
  if (response.data.code === 0) {
    return response.data.data.id;
  }
  throw new Error(`Failed to create profile: ${response.data.msg}`);
}

// Usage
const profileId = await createProfile('Campaign_Profile_1', 'marketing_team');
console.log(`Created profile: ${profileId}`);

Launch Browser Profile

def start_profile(profile_id, launch_args=None):
    """Launch a browser profile and return connection details"""
    url = f"{ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/browser/start"
    
    params = {
        "user_id": profile_id,
        "launch_args": launch_args or []
    }
    
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    data = response.json()
    
    if data.get("code") == 0:
        return {
            "ws_endpoint": data["data"]["ws"]["puppeteer"],
            "selenium_endpoint": data["data"]["ws"]["selenium"],
            "debug_port": data["data"]["debug_port"]
        }
    else:
        raise Exception(f"Failed to start profile: {data.get('msg')}")

# Usage
connection = start_profile(profile_id)
print(f"WebSocket: {connection['ws_endpoint']}")

async function startProfile(profileId) {
  const response = await axios.get(`${ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/browser/start`, {
    params: { user_id: profileId }
  });
  
  if (response.data.code === 0) {

      wsEndpoint: response.data.data.ws.puppeteer,
      seleniumEndpoint: response.data.data.ws.selenium,
      debugPort: response.data.data.debug_port
    };
  }
  throw new Error(`Failed to start profile: ${response.data.msg}`);
}

Close Browser Profile

def stop_profile(profile_id):
    """Close a running browser profile"""
    url = f"{ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/browser/stop"
    
    params = {"user_id": profile_id}
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)

Common Patterns

Campaign Profile Automation

import time

class CampaignAutomation:
    def __init__(self, profile_ids):
        self.profile_ids = profile_ids
    
    def run_campaign_tasks(self, task_function):
        """Execute tasks across multiple profiles"""
        for profile_id in self.profile_ids:
            try:
                print(f"Starting profile {profile_id}")
                driver = connect_selenium(profile_id)
                
                # Execute custom task
                task_function(driver)
                
                driver.quit()
                stop_profile(profile_id)
                
                # Delay between profiles
                time.sleep(5)
                
            except Exception as e:
                print(f"Error with profile {profile_id}: {e}")
                stop_profile(profile_id)

# Usage
def post_ad_campaign(driver):
    driver.get("https://ads.platform.com")
    # Perform ad posting logic
    pass

automation = CampaignAutomation([profile_id, profile_id_2])
automation.run_campaign_tasks(post_ad_campaign)

Profile Pool Manager

class ProfilePool:
    def __init__(self, group_name):
        self.group_name = group_name
        self.active_profiles = {}
    
    def get_available_profile(self):
        """Get next available profile from pool"""
        profiles = list_profiles(group_id=self.group_name)
        
        for profile in profiles:
            profile_id = profile['user_id']
            if profile_id not in self.active_profiles:
                connection = start_profile(profile_id)
                self.active_profiles[profile_id] = connection
                return profile_id, connection
        
        raise Exception("No available profiles in pool")
    
    def release_profile(self, profile_id):
        """Release profile back to pool"""
        if profile_id in self.active_profiles:
            stop_profile(profile_id)
            del self.active_profiles[profile_id]

# Usage
pool = ProfilePool("marketing_team")
profile_id, connection = pool.get_available_profile()
# Use profile
pool.release_profile(profile_id)

Batch Profile Creation

def create_campaign_profiles(campaign_name, count=10):
    """Create multiple profiles for a campaign"""
    profile_ids = []
    
    for i in range(count):
        profile_name = f"{campaign_name}_Profile_{i+1}"
        profile_id = create_profile(
            name=profile_name,
            group_id=campaign_name
        )
        profile_ids.append(profile_id)
        print(f"Created: {profile_name} ({profile_id})")
    
    return profile_ids

# Usage
campaign_profiles = create_campaign_profiles("BlackFriday2026", count=5)

Fingerprint Configuration

Custom Fingerprint Settings

def create_profile_with_fingerprint(name, config):
    """Create profile with specific fingerprint configuration"""
    url = f"{ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/user/create"
    
    payload = {
        "name": name,
        "group_id": "0",
        "fingerprint_config": {
            "ua": config.get("user_agent"),
            "language": config.get("language", "en-US"),
            "timezone": config.get("timezone", "America/New_York"),
            "webrtc": config.get("webrtc", "proxy"),
            "location": config.get("location", "ask"),
            "canvas": config.get("canvas", "noise"),
        }
    }
    
    response = requests.post(url, json=payload)
    data = response.json()
    
    if data.get("code") == 0:
        return data["data"]["id"]
    raise Exception(f"Failed to create profile: {data.get('msg')}")

# Usage
fingerprint_config = {
    "user_agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64)...",
    "language": "en-US,en;q=0.9",
    "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles",
    "webrtc": "proxy"
}

profile_id = create_profile_with_fingerprint(
    "Custom_Fingerprint_Profile",
    fingerprint_config
)

Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

def check_api_status():
    """Verify AdsPower API is accessible"""
    try:
        response = requests.get(f"{ADSPOWER_API_BASE}/status", timeout=5)
        return response.status_code == 200
    except requests.exceptions.RequestException:
        return False

if not check_api_status():
    print("AdsPower API not accessible. Ensure the application is running.")

Profile Not Starting

def safe_start_profile(profile_id, max_retries=3):
    """Start profile with retry logic"""
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            connection = start_profile(profile_id)
            return connection
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Attempt {attempt + 1} failed: {e}")
            time.sleep(2)
    
    raise Exception(f"Failed to start profile after {max_retries} attempts")

Clean Up Stuck Profiles

def force_close_all_profiles():
    """Close all running browser profiles"""
    profiles = list_profiles()
    for profile in profiles:
        profile_id = profile['user_id']
        try:
            stop_profile(profile_id)
            print(f"Closed profile: {profile_id}")
        except Exception as e:
            print(f"Error closing {profile_id}: {e}")

Environment Variables

# Optional: For cloud API access
export ADSPOWER_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

# Custom API port if not using default
export ADSPOWER_API_PORT="50325"

Best Practices

1. Always close profiles after use to free resources
2. Add delays between profile launches to avoid detection
3. Use profile groups to organize campaigns and teams
4. Monitor active profiles to prevent resource exhaustion
5. Implement error handling for network and API failures
6. Rotate profiles regularly for long-running campaigns
7. Back up important profiles and fingerprint configurations
