ScreenshotOne Proxy Integration

Create the Web Unlocker proxy

To create the Web Unlocker proxy, sign up to Bright Data, and once you log in, choose Web Unlocker from the “Add” menu:

Make sure to enable the CAPTCHA solver and premium domains if needed:

Once created, you can choose the Node.js code example and copy the proxy URL:

Use the Web Unlocker proxy with the ScreenshotOne API

In this example, the proxy URL is:

http://brd-customer-hl_99a0bd97-zone- your_unlocker_name:[email protected]:22225

Now, you can use this proxy URL in the ScreenshotOne API request:

https://api.screenshotone.com/take?key=<YOUR API KEY>&url=https://example.com&proxy=http://brd-customer-hl_99a0bd97-zone- your_unlocker_name:[email protected]:22225

Cost optimizations

To save money on proxies, you can try to use the option fail_if_content_contains to fail the request if the content contains a certain string that might hint you that there is a CAPTCHA on the page.

The option returns a specific error code like:

{
"is_successful": false,
"error_code": "content_contains_specified_string",
"error_message": "The page content contains the specified string by the
`fail_if_content_contains` option. If it seems to be a mistake or not what you expected, please, reach out to `[email protected]` as quickly as possible, and we will assist and try to resolve your problem.",
"documentation_url": "https://screenshotone.com/docs/errors/content- contains-specified-string/"
}

Since you don’t pay for the failed requests, you can only then retry the request with the same parameters, but with the proxy that bypasses CAPTCHAs.
