Selenium Webdriver using Proxy IP

I was using selenium webdriver to scrap data from a website.due to heavy traffic from My IP, now i am not able to access website (may be my ip is blocked for the website).

Is there any way to setup the Proxy IP, so that it would be treated as a new IP every-time i run the webdriver..?

Solution

  • You can set proxy IP with selenium webdriver as per following way :

    FirefoxProfile profile = new FirefoxProfile();
profile.addAdditionalPreference("network.proxy.http", "localhost");
profile.addAdditionalPreference("network.proxy.http_port", "8080");
WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver(profile);

    You should change your desired IP address and port in above code.
