Proxy

AI-generated

Summary

Configure the proxy server used for all page requests in the current Remote Scraper session, preserving the current page state. You can set a proxy by providing a server URL along with optional authentication credentials or remove the proxy by leaving the server address empty or null.

Inputs

  • Session ID — Optional session ID from a previous action to continue the existing browser session. Leave empty to start a new session automatically.
  • Server — Proxy server URL to route all page requests through (e.g., 'http://proxy.example.com:8080'). Leave empty or null to remove the proxy and use a direct connection.
  • Username — Username for proxy authentication, if required.
  • Password — Password for proxy authentication, if required.

Output shape

a single JSON object containing the currently used proxy server URL (or null if none) and a boolean indicating if the internal page was recreated due to the proxy change

The current page is preserved when setting the proxy; the API ensures no state loss unless the page needs to be recreated. Use the session ID from prior node output to maintain continuity.

Examples

Example 1: Set a proxy for the session

Specify the proxy server URL and optional username and password; leave the Session ID empty for a new session or provide an existing session ID to continue.

Example 2: Remove the proxy to use a direct connection

Leave the Server field empty or null to unset any proxy and route requests directly, preserving session continuity if a Session ID is provided.
