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

Getting Started

Before integrating Toolip, ensure you have the essentials:

1. Node.js: Install the latest version from nodejs.org.

2. Project Setup: Use a code editor you prefer (such as VS Code) and initialize a Node.js project.

3. Puppeteer: Add Puppeteer to your project by running:

npm install puppeteer

Retrieve Your Toolip Credentials

Sign in to your Toolip dashboard and note down your proxy details:

Host

Port

Username

Password

These credentials will let Puppeteer route traffic through Toolip’s secure, anonymous proxy network.

Configure Puppeteer for Toolip

To connect Puppeteer with Toolip:

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

2. Authenticate: Use page.authenticate() in Puppeteer to provide your Toolip username and password.

Example Code

Here’s a sample script to guide you:

const puppeteer = require('puppeteer');

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

  const page = await browser.newPage();

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

 // Test the setup by visiting an IP-checking site
  await page.goto('http://httpbin.org/ip');
  // Capture a screenshot to confirm everything’s working
  await page.screenshot({path: 'example.png'});

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

With Toolip proxies integrated into Puppeteer, you gain 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.
