Getting Up & Running With BrowserSpy
What you need to know and do
We have started our Beta Trial so your first step is to let us know that you would like to help us with the initial public testing of BrowserSpy
You will then receive a simple email from us that details the next steps
BrowserSpy uses GitHub as its login mechanism so you will need a GitHub account
Create your free GitHub account
Sign in with your GitHub account
Once signed in you will then need to Authorise BrowserSpy
Complete the Name, Email address & Username fields
You are now logged into BrowserSpy. Please check your inbox for an email from BrowserSpy. Click the link contained within the message to confirm your email address.
Confirmation Email
Once your email address is confirmed, then the "email address not confirmed" modal will be removed and you will be prompted to create your first BrowserSpy project.
Create "+ NEW PROJECT"
You can now click on the "+ NEW PROJECT" button
Enter details specific to your project and click the "SUBMIT" button
The Project URL is the result of
location.hostname which means using the URL without HTTP:// or HTTPS:// and without Port Numbers e.g. :8080 This is used to identify your instance of the BrowserSpy Recorder together with the Project Token
You should now see the four main tabs for administering your BrowserSpy Project
Installation of BrowserSpy (JavaScript)
Click the "INSTALLATION" tab and try the JavaScript option to begin with, as this will allow you to test very simply on your local machine
Once you have copied the JavaScript code into your application, refresh your browser and you should see the BrowserSpy toolbar on your web page.

Now visit your Project URL, and you should see the magnificent BrowserSpy Control Panel displayed on your site
There are two additional BrowserSpy installation options which you can use (CommonJS & Docker/Kubernetes) for which a walkthroughs are provided
