Documented steps

  1. Create a Context once: POST /v1/contexts (or sd sdk) and store the returned contextId.
  2. When creating a session, pass browser_settings={"context": {"id": "my-context-id", "persist": True}} (Python SDK).
  3. Connect over CDP/Playwright, do auth/state-building actions, then close the session — state auto-saves to the Context.
  4. On a later run, pass the same contextId to start already-authenticated.
  5. Docs: https://docs.browserbase.com/reference/sdk/python and /reference/sdk/node
