Is there a way to refresh the browser on QGIS programatically with PyQGIS?

Question

I have tried the QgsBrowserModel but it doesn't seem to work. I am not even sure if that is the right class to use.
The problem is that I add WMS and database connections through a plugin but they won't show up in the QGIS Browser until I hit the refresh button

Do you know a way to refresh the Browser through the QGIS API? And if so, could this be applied to all currently opened instances of QGIS?

Try the following
Updated answer due to comment feedback
iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QWidget, 'Browser')[0].refresh()
# If you need to refresh the second browser panel too
iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QWidget, 'Browser2')[0].refresh()

Old answer
widget = iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QWidget, 'Browser')[0]
widget2 = iface.mainWindow().findChildren(QWidget, 'Browser2')[0]

widgetAction = widget.findChildren(QAction, 'mActionRefresh')
widgetAction[0].trigger()

widgetAction2 = widget2.findChildren(QAction, 'mActionRefresh')
widgetAction2[0].trigger()

If there is a shortcut, would be glad to learn about it
