What is Puppeteer?

Think of Puppeteer as a remote control for headless browsers. With just a few lines of Node.js code, you can direct browsers to gather information, run tests, and automate routine actions. It’s all about turning tough, time-consuming workflows into quick, manageable steps.

Targeting search engines like Google, Bing, or Yandex requires a specialized proxy to ensure stable access and avoid blocks. Toolip’s Search Engine ISP Proxies are designed specifically for this, providing reliable performance where standard proxies may fail. If your proxy test isn’t working on search engines, switching to Search Engine ISP Proxies can resolve the issue.

How to Integrate Toolip With Puppeteer

1

Set Up Your Environment

1. Install Node.js from nodejs.org.

2. Use a code editor like VS Code and initialize a Node.js project.

3. Install Puppeteer by running:

npm install puppeteer
2

Retrieve Your Toolip Credentials

1. Log in to your Toolip dashboard and note the following details: Host, Port, Username, Password.

You’ll need these credentials to route Puppeteer’s traffic through Toolip’s secure proxy network.

3

Configure Puppeteer to Use Toolip

1. Set the Proxy Server: Add --proxy-server=[HOST]:[PORT] to Puppeteer’s launch arguments.

2. Authenticate: Use page.authenticate() to enter your Toolip username and password.

Use This Example Code

Copy and run this Puppeteer script:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

(async () => {
  // Launch Puppeteer with Toolip proxy
  const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: false,  // Change to true for headless mode
    args: ['--proxy-server=[HOST]:[PORT]'] // Replace with Toolip host and port
  });

  const page = await browser.newPage();

  // Authenticate with Toolip credentials
  await page.authenticate({
    username: '[USERNAME]',   // Replace with your Toolip username
    password: '[PASSWORD]'    // Replace with your Toolip password
  });

  // Test the proxy setup by visiting an IP-checking site
  await page.goto('http://httpbin.org/ip');
  
  // Capture a screenshot for verification
  await page.screenshot({ path: 'example.png' });

  await browser.close();
})();

By integrating Toolip with Puppeteer, you ensure secure and private browsing for all your automated tasks. Enjoy smoother data collection, reduced detection risks, and a more reliable workflow—so you can focus on insights and results, not on technical roadblocks.
