# Headless Usage

This section covers running AugeLab Studio **without the desktop UI** via the public API class `studio.StudioScenario`.

Headless API gives huge performance boosts compared to the desktop UI, especially when running on servers without GPUs. It also allows easy integration into other Python apps/services. { % endhint %}

## Flows to Code

Your visiually programmed scenarios (`.pmod` files) can be run headlessly via Python code:

Flows to Code

```python
from studio import StudioScenario
scenario = StudioScenario(verification_code="YOUR_CODE_HERE")
scenario.load_scenario("your_scenario.pmod")

while True:
    try:
        scenario.run()
    except KeyboardInterrupt:
        break
scenario.cleanup()
```

Running the saved .pmod files with python scripts gives you several benefits:

* Implementing your own dashboards and UIs
* Integrating scenarios into larger applications
* Hooking into logging system in AugeLab runtime
* Running scenarios in Docker containers (CPU/CUDA)
* Batch processing multiple inputs
* Automating runs and scheduling

and many more!
