Puppeteer

Integrate Puppeteer with Oxylabs Mobile Proxies for headless Chrome or Chromium automation.

Puppeteer is a Node library that provides a high-level API to control headless Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol.

To integrate Puppeteer with Oxylabs Mobile Proxies, follow the steps below:

Step 1. Install Node.js and a code editor of your choice. (Skip this step If you already have it)

Step 2. Create a Node.js project and install the required packages.

Step 3. Within Puppeteer, fill in the value, for example:

Proxy server: pr.oxylabs.io:7777

You can also use random or sticky country-specific entries. For example, if you enter us-pr.oxylabs.io:10000, you’ll acquire a US exit node. If you enter 10001 under port, you’ll receive the US exit node with a sticky session. You can find a complete list of country-specific random proxy entry nodes here and a list of sticky proxy entry nodes - here.

Step 4. Under the 'page.authenticate', input your Oxylabs proxy username and password.

An example of a code looks like this:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');
(async () => {
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,
    args: ['--proxy-server=pr.oxylabs.io:7777]  
});
  const page = await browser.newPage();
    await page.authenticate({
        username: 'USERNAME',
        password: 'PASSWORD'
    });
    await page.goto('https://ip.oxylabs.io');
    await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});
    await browser.close();
})();

And that's it! You've successfully integrated Oxylabs Mobile Proxies with Puppeteer.
