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. Prefer an enterprise-grade guide? Learn more about Oculus Proxies Puppeteer Integration Guide.
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.
