What is Apify?

Apify is a powerful web scraping, data extraction, and web RPA platform. It can automate anything you can do manually in a web browser, and run it at scale. Apify Store has hundreds of ready-to-use scraping tools that just require you to change a few settings.

Proxies are often an essential part of web scraping. You should always secure your identity when web scraping and you may also need to deal with anti-scraping measures and other restrictions deployed by your target website.

That’s where Bright Data comes in 💪

Bright Data’s proxies can help you successfully complete your scraping and automation tasks. Bright Data proxies seamlessly integrate with Apify so you can perform your job without being blocked.

Navigate to the Input tab.
Enter lumtest as start URL to scrape : https://lumtest.com/myip.json

In the Page function paste this code :

      async function pageFunction(context) {
    // jQuery is handy for finding DOM elements and extracting data from them.
    // To use it, make sure to enable the "Inject jQuery" option.
    const $ = context.jQuery;

    // Select the element using the 'body > pre' CSS selector and extract its text content.
    const data = $('body > pre').text();

    // Return an object with the extracted data. It will be stored in the resulting dataset.
    return {
        data: data
    };
}

Then scroll down to find proxy and browser configuration.

Click on own proxy and input your proxy credentials in the following format.

http://username:[email protected]:33335 and password can be taken from the zone settings that we just created.
The hostname for Bright Data proxies is :brd.superproxy.io and the port is 33335.
This is what the final Bright Data proxy URL will look like: http://lum-customer-c_375eb5c4-zone-zone5:[email protected]:33335
Then just click Start.

You can then preview and download the data as HTML, JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS feed, or view it in the output tab
To confirm that Apify used the proxy, go to your Bright Data dashboard, navigate to proxies and then check the event log.

⚠️Important note: If you are using Bright Data’s Residential Proxies, Web Unlocker or SERP API, you need to install an SSL certificate to enable end-to-end secure connections to your target website(s). This is a simple process, see https://docs.brightdata.com/general/account/ssl-certificate#installation-of-the-ssl-certificate for instructions.
