Integrating DataImpulse proxies with Playwright is a simple process
Playwright is a powerful automation tool that allows you to control web browsers programmatically. It provides a simple and user-friendly interface for automating tasks, such as web scraping, testing, and UI automation. With Playwright, you can interact with web pages, perform actions like clicking buttons and filling forms, and extract data from websites. It supports multiple programming languages and offers cross-browser compatibility, making it a versatile tool for web automation.
Here’s an easy step-by-step guide on how to use proxies with Playwright:
- Enter the Proxy IP:Port
When using Residential Proxies, you need to fill in the Proxy IP:Port in the server value. For example, you can use gw.dataimpulse.com:823 as the Proxy IP:Port.
- Authenticate the Proxy
To authenticate the Residential Proxy, you’ll need to provide your DataImpulse proxy plan username and password. In your Playwright code, you can include the authentication details using the following example:
const playwright = require('playwright');
(async () => {
for (const browserType of ['chromium', 'firefox', 'webkit']) {
const browser = await playwright[browserType].launch({
headless: false,
proxy: {
server:’gw.dataimpulse.com:823’,
username: 'your proxy plan username',
password: 'your proxy plan password'
},
});
const context = await browser.newContext();
const page = await context.newPage();
await page.goto('https://ip-api.com/');
await page.screenshot({ path: `${browserType}.png` });
await browser.close();
}
})();
That’s it! You’ve successfully integrated DataImpulse proxies with Playwright.
