Puppeteer Proxy Integration

New Bright Data product: Scraping Browser

Puppeteer 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.

Puppeteer 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 Puppeteer fill in the ‘Proxy IP:Port’ in the ‘proxy-server’ value, for example zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225.
Under ‘page.authenticate’ input your Bright Data account ID and proxy Zone name in the ‘username’ value, for example: lum-customer-CUSTOMER-zone-YOURZONE and your Zone password found in the Zone settings.
For example:

      const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    args: ['--proxy-server=zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225']
  });
  const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.authenticate({
        username: 'lum-customer-USERNAME-zone-YOURZONE',
        password: 'PASSWORD'
    });
    await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
    await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
    await browser.close();
})();

Proxy Manager and Puppeteer 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 Puppeteer, under the ‘proxy-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 puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
    const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        headless: false,
        args: ['--proxy-server=127.0.0.1:24000']
    });
    const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.authenticate();
    await page.goto('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
    await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
    await browser.close();
})();
