Puppeteer

BrowserCloud supports puppeteer. The latter can be successfully used provided that the appropriate app or service are updated. To use the BrowserCloud service just change the below-mentioned:

Javascript

import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';

(async () => {
const browser = await puppeteer.connect({
browserWSEndpoint: `wss://chrome-v2.browsercloud.io?token=MY-TOKEN`,
});
const page = await browser.newPage();

    // Remember to catch errors and close!
})();

Python

import asyncio
from pyppeteer import connect_over_cdp

async def main():
    # Connecting to Chrome locally
    browser = await launch()

    # Connecting to BrowserCloud
    browser = await connect_over_cdp(
        endpoint=f"wss://chrome-v2.browsercloud.io?token={TOKEN}"
    )

Proxies & GEO targeting

Our residential proxy pool includes over 100 million IPs from 195 countries from over dozens of ISPs and should be sufficient for the vast majority of scraping jobs. A majority of proxy network is composed of Tier A+ model proxies.

info

BrowserCloud optimizes proxy usage by disabling the download of resources such as images, videos, CSS, fonts, etc. This behavior can be adjusted with a parameter (see more).

Proxy behavior is set by parameters proxy and proxyCountry

curl --location 'https://chrome-v2.browsercloud.io/content?token=API_TOKEN&proxy=datacenter&proxyCountry=GB&url=https://api.myip.com'

warning

BrowserCloud uses rotating proxies by default, which means every new request inside Chrome might have a new IP. If you need to keep the same proxy IP during a session please add &proxySticky parameter to the connection URL

Parameter	Available values	Description
proxy	1) datacenter - datacenter proxy pool with 70mln of fast proxies 2) residential - premium proxy pool for a few particularly difficult to scrape sites 3) omit parameter to use direct connection from our servers	Proxy pool type
proxyCountry	parameter works with proxy parameter 1) two-letter country ISO code. Example: US, CA, GB, DE and more 2) omit parameter or set ALL for global rotating	Proxy geo targeting
proxySticky		add this parameter to use the same IP of the proxy for all requests during one session

browser = await puppeteer.connect({browserWSEndpoint:
    'wss://chrome-v2.browsercloud.io?'+
    'token=API_TOKEN'+
    '&proxy=residential'+ //proxy type (optional): residential / datacenter
    '&proxyCountry=US' //proxy country (optional)
});
