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.
