Playwright

Playwright is a modern browser automation library from Microsoft that supports Chromium, Firefox, and WebKit. It has built-in proxy support, making it straightforward to route traffic through HypeProxy.io proxies.

Setting Up HypeProxy.io with Playwright

JavaScript / TypeScript

const { chromium } = require('playwright');

const browser = await chromium.launch({
  proxy: {
    server: 'http://fr.hypeproxy.host:port',
    username: 'your_username',
    password: 'your_password'
  }
});

const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://api.ipify.org');
console.log(await page.textContent('body'));
await browser.close();

Python

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={
        'server': 'http://fr.hypeproxy.host:port',
        'username': 'your_username',
        'password': 'your_password'
    })
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto('https://api.ipify.org')
    print(page.text_content('body'))
    browser.close()

SOCKS5 Proxy

const browser = await chromium.launch({
  proxy: {
    server: 'socks5://fr.hypeproxy.host:port',
    username: 'your_username',
    password: 'your_password'
  }
});

Per-Context Proxy

You can also set proxies per browser context for multi-account scenarios:

const browser = await chromium.launch();

const context = await browser.newContext({
  proxy: {
    server: 'http://fr.hypeproxy.host:port',
    username: 'your_username',
    password: 'your_password'
  }
});

const page = await context.newPage();

Tips

• Playwright handles proxy authentication natively — no extensions or workarounds needed.
• Use per-context proxies to manage multiple accounts in a single browser instance.
• Combine with HypeProxy.io API for automatic IP rotation between scraping runs.
• Playwright supports all three browser engines — test with the one that best matches your target site.
