@wanghaisheng Thanks for the reply. I haven't worked with selenium before, so I'm unaware of it. But I'll definitely look into that. Just one more thing, if you can help, I'm basically using this API for my backend server. So the user has no activity with my service. Will this help my situation?

@wanghaisheng what solution you have? use another lib?
