Playwright Proxy

Playwright is an advanced automation tool for headless Chrome, Firefox, and Webkit browsers. It supports JavaScript & TypeScript, Python, C#, and Java programming languages. This program has a high resiliency as it waits for components to be actionable before taking any action and its design follows the current browsers by conducting tests in the background without traditional limits or trade-offs. Moreover, Playwright runs quickly as each test builds up a browser context which takes only milliseconds to create while eliminating log-in processes. Lastly, this tool also provides powerful tools that can save tests in various languages and collect all relevant data to investigate failed tests with features such as screencasts of execution logs and live DOM snapshots.

How to Integrate IPRoyal Proxies With Playwright?

Before beginning to use Playwright, it is necessary to install Node.js and a coding editor of your preference. Setting up a Node.js project then installing the essential packages follows next. With everything ready for utilizing Playwright, we can move on to integrating FineProxy residential proxies with it. In the FineProxy dashboard, pick a country of choice, decide on proxy type and rotation options you want – credentials obtained here should be used in the code when setting up an instance of Playwright with rotating HTTPS proxies from US as an example: const playwright = require(‘playwright’); (async () => { for (const browserType of [‘chromium’, ‘firefox’, ‘webkit’]) { const browser = await playwright[browserType].launch({ headless: false, proxy: { server: http://us.proxy.iproyal.com/12323 username: ‘your_proxy_username’, password:’your_proxy_password’ }, }); const context = await browser.newContext(); const page = await context.newPage(); await page .goto(‘whatismyip .com’); await page .screenshot({ path : ${browserType} .png});  await browser .close (); } ) ();

Best Proxies for Playwright

Now that you have the know-how to integrate FineProxy proxies into Playwright, you may be wondering which ones are best. The two most popular options are datacenter and residential proxies. Any type of proxy will work with Playwright; however, it’s ill-advised to use a free one as these can be slow, overloaded, and even a front for cybercriminals. Additionally, if you plan on using the tool for automation or site scraping purposes, rotating residential proxies are recommended since they change your IP address after each request or at an established interval for maximum security when carrying out such tasks.
