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), Playwright (Node.js), or Selenium 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.

Playwright proxy integration with Bright Data
- 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 ‘proxy-server’ value, for example brd.superproxy.io:33335.
- Under ‘page.authenticate’ input your Bright Data account ID and proxy Zone name in the ‘username’ value, for example: brd-customer-CUSTOMER-zone-YOURZONE and your Zone password found in the Zone settings.
- For example:
const playwright = require('playwright');
const options = {
proxy: {
server: 'http://brd.superproxy.io:33335',
username: 'brd-customer-[customer_ID]-zone-[zone_name]',
password: '[zone_password]'
}
};
(async () => {
const browser = await playwright.chromium.launch(options);
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
const content = await page.content();
console.log(content);
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
- For example:
const playwright = require('playwright');
const options = {
proxy: {
server: 'http://127.0.0.1:24000'
}
};
(async () => {
const browser = await playwright.chromium.launch(options);
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
const content = await page.content();
console.log(content);
await browser.close();
})();
⚠️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.
