Bright Data Super Proxy and Selenium Integration

• Begin by going to your Bright Data Dashboard and clicking ‘create a Zone’.
• Choose ‘Network type’ and click save.
• Within Selenium fill in the ‘Proxy IP:Port’ in the ‘setProxy’ function for examplezproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225 of both http and https.
• Under ‘sendKeys’ input your Bright Data account ID and proxy Zone name:lum-customer-CUSTOMER-zone-YOURZONE and your Zone password found in the Zone settings.
• JavaScript example:

const {Builder, By, Key, until} = require('selenium-webdriver');
const proxy = require('selenium-webdriver/proxy');

(async function example(){
  let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').setProxy(proxy.manual({
    http: 'zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225',
    https: 'zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225'
  })).build()

  try {
    await driver.get('http://lumtest.com/myip.json');
    driver.switchTo().alert()
      .sendKeys('lum-customer-USERNAME-zone-YOURZONE'+Key.TAB+'PASSWORD');
    driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
  } finally {
      await driver.quit();
  }
})();

• Python example (deprecated, recommend using with Proxy Manager, next section):

from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from seleniumwire import webdriver
import time

PATH = "/path/to/chromedriver.exe" #Path to chromedriver (Adjust as needed)

options = {
'proxy': {'http': 'http://lum-customer-CUST_ID-zone-ZONE_NAME:PASSWORD@zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225',
'https': 'http://lum-customer-CUST_ID-zone-ZONE_NAME:PASSWORD@zproxy.lum-superproxy.io:22225'},
}

chrome = webdriver.Chrome(PATH, seleniumwire_options=options)
If need to add headers to request
chrome.header_overrides = {

}
chrome.get("https://lumtest.com/myip.json")

print(chrome.execute_script('return document.body.innerHTML;')) #print page html
time.sleep(5) #close after 5 seconds

chrome.quit()

Proxy Manager and Selenium Integration

• Create a Zone with the network, IP type and number of IPs you wish to use.
• Install the Bright Data 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 field empty, as the Bright Data Proxy Manager has already been authenticated with the Super Proxy.
• JavaScript example:

const {Builder, By, Key, until} = require('selenium-webdriver');
const proxy = require('selenium-webdriver/proxy');

(async function example(){
    let driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('firefox').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');
        driver.switchTo().alert().accept();
    } finally {
        await driver.quit();
    }
})();

• Python example:

import random
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
import time

PROXY = "127.0.0.1:24000"
PATH = "/path/to/chromedriver.exe" #Path to chromedriver (Adjust as needed)

print(PROXY)
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument('--proxy-server=%s' % PROXY)

chrome = webdriver.Chrome(PATH, options=chrome_options)
If need to add headers to request
chrome.header_overrides = {

}
chrome.get("https://lumtest.com/myip.json")

print(chrome.execute_script('return document.body.innerHTML;')) #print page html
time.sleep(5) #close after 5 seconds
