Examples

Add a record of a visit to "https://example.org/", then check that the new visit was recorded by searching history for the most recent item and logging it: function onGot(results) {
  if (results.length) {
    console.log(results[0].url);
    console.log(new Date(results[0].lastVisitTime));
  }
}

browser.history
  .addUrl({ url: "https://example.org/" })
  .then(() =>
    browser.history.search({
      text: "https://example.org/",
      startTime: 0,
      maxResults: 1,
    })
  )
  .then(onGot);
 Add a record of a visit to "https://example.org", but give it a visitTime 24 hours in the past, and a transition of "typed": const DAY = 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000;

function oneDayAgo() {
  return Date.now() - DAY;
}

function onGot(visits) {
  for (const visit of visits) {
    console.log(new Date(visit.visitTime));
    console.log(visit.transition);
  }
}

browser.history
  .addUrl({
    url: "https://example.org/",
    visitTime: oneDayAgo(),
    transition: "typed",
  })
  .then(() =>
    browser.history.getVisits({
      url: "https://example.org/",
    })
  )
  .then(onGot);
