Proxlist
Retrieve proxy servers.
Finding and storing a list of proxies can be taxing - especially ones that are free and may not work only minutes from now. proxlist will validate the proxy and return a rotating random proxy to you so you don't need to keep a list of proxies or ensure it's contents are still valid.
Proxies are returned in the form of strings (eg: ip:port).
These proxies come from all over the world and may not be performant for a production application. This package (for now) is intended for testing purposes and I make no guarantee about where the data sent through these proxies goes or how it's handled. The list of proxies rotates rapidly and is free and open source.
Install
# Install tool
pip3 install proxlist
# Install locally
make install
Usage
import proxlist
import requests
proxy = proxlist.random_proxy()
# Alternatively, you could get the entire list of configured proxies
# proxies = proxlist.list_proxies()
proxies = {
'http': f'http://{proxy}',
'https': f'http://{proxy}',
}
# Depending on the proxy and you location in the world, you may need to adjust the timeout
# to provide the proxy enough time to route your request.
response = requests.get('https://google.com', proxies=proxies, timeout=15)
print(response.text)
