Selenium is a browser automation tool, it has the support of some of the largest browser vendors and is widely used by companies to automate day to day tasks.
Notice
Selenium does not support the standard username:password authentication thus you will need to have whitelisted IP to continue progress with this automation tool.
Selenium officially supports the following programming languages:
- Java
- C#
- Ruby
- Python
- Javascript (Node)
To continue development with the tool, it's recommended that you have experience with at least one of them or have a programming background in general.
Selenium offers a variety of WebDrivers to perform tests, to continue development you will need to use at least one of available WebDrivers.
You can find the whole list of available WebDrivers here however, currently, Smartproxy providers tutorials for the following two:
Smartproxy offers code examples for all 5 programming languages officially supported by Selenium.
Do note that while syntax and code layout may differ, the principle of proxy setup is relatively similar to each programming language.
To download our Code example for your preferred programming language and WebDriver, take a look at the tables below:
Google Chrome Driver

curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Smartproxy/Selenium/master/python/selenium_python.py > selenium_python.pycurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Smartproxy/Selenium/master/nodejs/firefox/example.js > example.jsYou can copy and run all of the commands from the table above in your Terminal/Command Prompt window.
To configure your preferred endpoint in our code examples, please change the gate.smartproxy.com:7000 line in within the punctuation marks (''). Different languages will have this line placed and formatted differently, take a look at the reference table below:
String ProxyServer = "gate.smartproxy.com";
int ProxyPort = 7000;HttpProxy = "gate.smartproxy.com:7000"proxy = Selenium::WebDriver::Proxy.new(http: "gate.smartproxy.com:7000")HOSTNAME = 'gate.smartproxy.com'
PORT = '7000'let addr = 'gate.smartproxy.com:7000'Please note that the examples provided are just for proxy setup reference.
