Real Device Access API

Move beyond framework limitations with deep device control, persistent high-performance sessions, and cloud-scale security built for modern mobile engineering.

Build Without Framework Limits

Real Device Access API, the industry’s first modern programmable mobile cloud, provides developers with deep, device-level control to accelerate AI-driven workflows. This framework-agnostic approach bypasses the constraints of standard testing frameworks to unlock custom use cases and AI-ready workflows—while eliminating the drain of in-house testing.

With low-latency device access at cloud-scale security, deep observability, and persistent session models, teams can reclaim innovation time and build a future-proof foundation that modern mobile engineering needs.

This API is designed to reduce engineering drain, provide future-proof infrastructure access, and accelerate innovation cycles by integrating easily with emerging technologies such as AI-driven platforms.


Core Capabilities and Controls

Comprehensive File Management: Directly manage files on test devices using simple API commands. Push configuration files or datasets before tests, and retrieve logs, crash reports, and diagnostic data for validation.

Performance Metric Monitoring: Measure installation duration, launch speed, and detect launch failures through API responses to quickly identify regressions.

Granular Session Management: Create and manage sessions up to 24 hours with configurable cleanup controls, asset retention, and optional device reboot for private devices.


Advanced Extensibility

Custom Appium Drivers & WDA: Run custom Appium drivers, fork WebDriverAgent, extend standard drivers (XCUITest, UIAutomator2), and support non-standard platforms like smart TVs or automotive systems.

HTTP Proxy / Port Forwarding: Forward network traffic to debug DNS issues or interact directly with on-device servers and test harnesses.


Unlock Advanced Mobile Use Cases
  • Soak testing for long-running sessions

  • Precision performance benchmarking across devices

  • Continuous synthetic monitoring loops

  • Natural language test execution (MCP)

  • Proprietary or custom driver execution

  • Self-healing autonomous AI agents

  • Destructive root detection and malware validation


Key Benefits
  • Framework Freedom – Direct access to Sauce Labs Private Devices without automation constraints.

  • Unmatched Device Control – Execute raw adb/xcrun commands and modify system states mid-session.

  • Maximized Efficiency – Persistent sessions eliminate constant device resets.

  • Enhanced Observability – Access live logs, network traffic, video, and system metrics.

  • Future-Ready for AI – Built for autonomous, agent-driven workflows.
