CLI apps libraries
Multiplayer is a full stack session recorder that captures everything you need to develop new features, fix bugs, and work with AI coding tools. Multiplayer collects front-end screens, user actions, backend traces, metrics, logs and full request/response content and headers - all auto-correlated in a single session.
Recording options overview
Multiplayer is versatile by design and you can select between 4 options how to capture your full stack session recordings:
- Install our Chrome browser extension
- Install our JavaScript client library (including optional in-app widget)
- Install language specific libraries to record from your CLI apps
- Mobile (coming soon - contact us if you’re interested in early beta).
‼️ In this guide we only cover how to install language specific libraries to record from your CLI apps. ‼️
CLI app set up
The CLI app libraries are designed for teams who need to capture full stack session recordings from command-line applications and backend services (Node.js, Go, Python, etc.).
Use them when you want visibility into workflows that don’t have a browser UI, for example, debugging APIs, scripts, or infrastructure tools.
