Playwright Integration

Playwright is a webscraping framework for Node.JS developed by Microsoft, which provides a high-level API to control Chromium, Firefox and Webkit over the DevTools Protocol.

Step 1: Install the library

npm install playwright

If required, install the browser binaries:

npx playwright install

Step 2: Retrieve project token

1. Open Scrapoxy User interface, and go to the project Settings;
2. Enable Keep the same proxy with cookie injection;
3. Remember the project token (format is USERNAME:PASSWORD).
4. Click on Update.

Step 3: Retrieve and install Scrapoxy Certificate

1. Open Scrapoxy User interface, and go to the project Settings;
2. Click on Download CA certificate and save the file scrapoxy-ca.crt;
3. Remember the project token (format is USERNAME:PASSWORD).

Install the certificate with the following command:

certutil -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb -A -t "C,," -n scrapoxy -i ./scrapoxy-ca.crt

Step 4: Create and run the script

Create a file name playwright.js with the following content:

import playwright from 'playwright';

(async () => {
    const browser = await playwright.chromium.launch({
        ignore_default_args: ["--headless"],
        args: ["--headless=new"],
        proxy: {
            server: 'http://localhost:8888',
            username: 'USERNAME',
            password: 'PASSWORD'
        },
    });

    const context = await browser.newContext({
        ignoreHTTPSErrors: true,
    });

    const page = await context.newPage();
    await page.goto('https://fingerprint.scrapoxy.io');

    const content = await page.content();
    console.log(content);

    await browser.close();
})()
    .catch(console.error);

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD by the credentials you copied earlier.

INFO

All requests made in the same session will use the same proxy instance.

Run the script:

node playwright.js
