How to use SOCKS5 proxy in Pyppeteer

Configuring Pyppeteer to use a SOCKS5 proxy is as easy as passing the args option to launch():

example.py
browser = await launch({
    "args": ['--proxy-server=socks5://localhost:8000'],
})

Full example

example.py
#!/usr/bin/env python3
import asyncio
from pyppeteer import launch

async def main():
    browser = await launch({
        "args": ['--proxy-server=socks5://localhost:8000'],
    })
    page = await browser.newPage()
    await page.goto('https://www.techoverflow.net', {'waitUntil': 'networkidle2'})
    # Make screenshot
    await page.screenshot({'path': 'screenshot.png'})
    # Cleanup
    await browser.close()

asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete(main())
