What is Apify?

Apify is a powerful web scraping, data extraction, and web RPA platform. It can automate anything you can do manually in a web browser, and run it at scale. Apify Store has hundreds of ready-to-use scraping tools that just require you to change a few settings.

Proxies are often an essential part of web scraping. You should always secure your identity when web scraping and you may also need to deal with anti-scraping measures and other restrictions deployed by your target website.

That’s where Bright Data comes in 💪

Bright Data’s proxies can help you successfully complete your scraping and automation tasks. Bright Data proxies seamlessly integrate with Apify so you can perform your job without being blocked.

  • Navigate to the Input tab.
  • Enter lumtest as start URL to scrape : https://lumtest.com/myip.json
  • In the Page function paste this code :
      async function pageFunction(context) {
    // jQuery is handy for finding DOM elements and extracting data from them.
    // To use it, make sure to enable the "Inject jQuery" option.
    const $ = context.jQuery;

    // Select the element using the 'body > pre' CSS selector and extract its text content.
    const data = $('body > pre').text();

    // Return an object with the extracted data. It will be stored in the resulting dataset.
    return {
        data: data
    };
}
    
  • Then scroll down to find proxy and browser configuration.
  • Click on own proxy and input your proxy credentials in the following format.
  • http://username:[email protected]:22225 and password can be taken from the zone settings that we just created.
  • The hostname for Bright Data proxies is :brd.superproxy.io and the port is 22225.
  • This is what the final Bright Data proxy URL will look like: http://lum-customer-c_375eb5c4-zone-zone5:[email protected]:22225
  • Then just click Start.
  • You can then preview and download the data as HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS feed, or view it in the output tab
  • To confirm that Apify used the proxy, go to your Bright Data dashboard, navigate to proxies and then check the event log.

⚠️Important note: If you are using Bright Data’s Residential Proxies, Web Unlocker or SERP API, you need to install an SSL certificate to enable end-to-end secure connections to your target website(s). This is a simple process, see https://docs.brightdata.com/general/account/ssl-certificate#installation-of-the-ssl-certificate for instructions.
