What is Selenium?

Selenium is an advanced browser automation software used to simulate browsing environments for the most accurate website testing and more, similar to Puppeteer. Take your online operations to the next level by integrating Selenium with the super proxy servers from Bright Data.

Optional: Proxy Manager and Selenium integration

Note: this section is optional. You can easily use Puppeteer with Bright Data products WITHOUT the Proxy Manager.

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 Selenium, under the setProxy, 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 {Builder} = require('selenium-webdriver');



const proxy = require('selenium-webdriver/proxy');







(async function example(){



    let driver = await new Builder()



    .forBrowser('chrome')



    .setProxy(proxy.manual({



        http: '127.0.0.1:24000',



        https: '127.0.0.1:24000'



    }))



    .build();







    try {



        await driver.get('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');



        const html = await driver.getPageSource();



        console.log(html);







    } finally {



        await driver.quit();



    }



})();

⚠️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.
