How to Use Proxies in Playwright

Steps

1. Pass proxy={server, username, password} to launch or new_context
2. Use one context per session id to run several sticky IPs
3. Route and abort images, fonts and media
4. Check the exit IP once before the real job

Example code

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={
        "server": "http://gw.gbproxies.cc:10000",
        "username": "USERNAME-cc-jp",
        "password": "PASSWORD",
    })
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,webp,gif,woff2,mp4}", lambda r: r.abort())
    page.goto("https://api.ipify.org")
    print(page.inner_text("body"))
    browser.close()

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with the proxy login from the Proxies page of the console. Port 10000 is residential HTTP; see the ports of every product below.

Tips

• Per context proxies let one browser run many countries at once
• Use the SOCKS5 port only if your tool needs SOCKS; HTTP is simpler
