If you target a search engine like google, bing or yandex, you need a special Search Engine Results Page (SERP) proxy API. Use Bright Data SERP API to target search engines. Click here to read more about Bright Data SERP proxy API.Correct setup of proxy test to avoid “PROXY ERROR”
In many tools you will see a “test proxy” function, which performs a conncectivity test to your proxy, and some add a geolocation test as well, to identify the location of the proxy. To correctly test your proxy you should target those search queries to:https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt .Some tools use popular search engines (like google.com) as a default test target. Bright Data will block those requests and you tool will show proxy error although your proxy is perfectly fine.If your proxy test fails, this is probably the reason. Make sure that your test domain is not a search engine (this is done in the tool configuration, and not controlled by Bright Data).What is PhantomBuster?
PhantomBuster is a cloud-based automation platform designed to handle repetitive online tasks at scale. It enables you to automate actions across social networks, websites, and online services without managing infrastructure or writing complex scripts. By combining PhantomBuster with Bright Data proxies, you gain higher reliability, improved anonymity, and better protection against blocks.How to Integrate Bright Data With PhantomBuster
Integrating Bright Data proxies into PhantomBuster helps you maintain anonymity, reduce the risk of blocks, and improve automation stability. Follow the steps below to complete the setup.Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
- An active PhantomBuster account
- An active Bright Data account
- A configured Bright Data proxy zone (ISP or Data Center recommended)
- Your Bright Data proxy credentials (host, port, username, password)
Open the Proxies Settings
Log in to your PhantomBuster account and navigate to Settings → Proxies.

Best Practices
- Use one proxy pool per platform or account type
- Avoid running too many Phantoms concurrently from the same pool
- Prefer ISP proxies for logged-in or account-based automation
- Monitor Phantom execution logs for proxy-related errors
- Rotate sessions periodically for long-running workflows
