Core
Sessions
Some data only exists once you are signed in. A session lets an extraction run as an identity you already hold — one you supply, under your own account.
Bring-your-own only. AuraCrawl does not create, warm, or operate logins on any platform. A session is always an account you own and are authorised to use. We simply execute with the credentials you provide.
You create a session by supplying a logged-in session — typically the cookies from your own authenticated browser. The extraction then runs as that identity.
Create a session
{
"connector": "linkedin",
"credentials": { "cookies": [ { "name": "li_at", "value": "…" } ] }
}The response returns a session id you pass into an extraction. Credentials are write-only — encrypted at rest and never returned by the API.
Ownership and authority
By creating a session you warrant that the account is yours and that you are authorised to access it and its data through the AuraCrawl API. The account, its credentials, and its terms of use remain entirely yours; AuraCrawl acts only as the executor of the session you supply. We never generate accounts, and we do not run sessions we were not given.
