Playwright Proxy Integration with Bright Data
Playwright is a Node.js library to automate Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit with a single API and we will cover all the required steps for a successful Playwright integration with Bright Data. Start using rotating proxies to enhance your Playwright proxies and avoid getting blocked.
New Bright Data product: Scraping Browser
Playwright Compatible
Easily make an API call to fetch any number of browser sessions and interact with them using Puppeteer (Python) or Playwright (Node.js) over a CDP protocol. Ideal for scraping projects that require website interactions to retrieve data, like hovering over a page, clicking buttons, scrolling, adding text, etc.
Bright Data Super Proxy and Playwright Integration
- Begin by going to your Bright Data Dashboard and clicking ‘create a Zone’.
- Choose ‘Network type’ and click save.
- Within Playwright fill in the ‘Proxy IP:Port’ in the ‘server’ value, for example
http://zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225. - Under ‘username’ input your Bright Data account ID and proxy Zone name, for example:
lum-customer-CUSTOMER-zone-YOURZONEand under ‘password’ put your Zone password found in the Zone settings. - For example:
const playwright = require('playwright');
(async () => {
for (const browserType of ['chromium', 'firefox', 'webkit']) {
const browser = await playwright[browserType].launch({
headless: false,
proxy: {
server: 'http://zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225',
username: 'lum-customer-USERNAME-zone-YOURZONE',
password: 'PASSWORD'
},
});
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });
await browser.close();
}
})();
Proxy Manager and Playwright Integration
- Create a Zone with the network, IP type, and number of IPs you wish to use.
- Install the Proxy Manager.
- Click ‘add new proxy’ and choose the Zone and settings you require, click ‘save’.
- In Playwright, under the ‘server’, input your local IP and Proxy Manager port (i.e. 127.0.0.1:24000)
- The local host IP is 127.0.0.1
- The port created in the Proxy Manager is 24XXX. For example, 24000
- Leave the username and password values empty, as the Bright Data Proxy Manager has already been authenticated with the Super Proxy.
- For example:
const playwright = require('playwright');
(async () => {
for (const browserType of ['chromium', 'firefox', 'webkit']) {
const browser = await playwright[browserType].launch({
headless: false,
proxy: {
server: '127.0.0.1:24000',
username: '',
password: ''
},
});
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });
await browser.close();
}
})();About Bright Data proxies:
