Requests is not honoring the proxies flag.
There is something I am missing about making a request over a proxy with python requests library.
If I enable the OS system proxy, then it works, but if I make the request with just requests module proxies setting, the remote machine will not see the proxy set in requests, but will see my real ip, it is as if not proxy was set.
The bellow example will show this effect, at the time of this post the bellow proxy is alive but any working proxy should replicate the effect.
import requests
proxy ={
'http:': 'https://143.208.200.26:7878',
'https:': 'http://143.208.200.26:7878'
}
data = requests.get(url='http://ip-api.com/json', proxies=proxy).json()
print('Ip: %s\nCity: %s\nCountry: %s' % (data['query'], data['city'], data['country']))
I also tried changing the proxy_dict format:
proxy ={
'http:': '143.208.200.26:7878',
'https:': '143.208.200.26:7878'
}
But still it has not effect.
I am using:
-Windows 10
-python 3.9.6
-urllib 1.25.8
Many thanks in advance for any response to help sort this out.
Ok is working yea !!! .
The credits for solving this goes to (Olvin Rogh) Thanks Olvin for your help and pointing out my problem. I was adding colon ":" inside the keys
This code is working now.
PROXY = {'https': 'https://143.208.200.26:7878',
'http': 'http://143.208.200.26:7878'}
with requests.Session() as session:
session.proxies = PROXY
r = session.get('http://ip-api.com/json')
print(json.dumps(r.json(), indent=2))
I was playing around with a proxy requests module that I found here/pip install proxy-requests. I have successfully been making GET/POST requests to a temporary ptsv2.com bucket as shown in the directions and it seems to be working... My IP listed is actually a proxy server's IP. However my User Agent (in the header) still says Python Requests with a version number. Is it possible to use this module's proxy IP capabilities but also change the User Agent to something other than Python Requests? I want to hide my IP but also the user-agent as well.
You can set User-Agent in headers like so:
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Some custom user agent',
}
r = ProxyRequests("url here")
r.set_headers(headers)
r.post_with_headers({"key1": "value1", "key2": "value2"})
I am using request library to connect to an api and get data. I have the proxy to connect and it works with AuthenticatedProxy
This is how my code looks.
import requests
s = requests.Session()
url = "https://testapi"
urlkey = “testkey”
proxies = {'https': 'http://<UserName>:<Password>#proxy_url:8080'}
resp = s.get(url, params={'key':urlkey }, proxies = proxies)
content = resp.content
print content
Username and Password is exposed here and I want to avoid that. How can I acheived that ? Can i ask request to use defaultCredentials or 'account that is running the python script' credentials ?
In .net, following config works:
<system.net>
<defaultProxy enabled="true" useDefaultCredentials="true">
<proxy proxyaddress="https://testapi:8080" bypassonlocal="True"/>
</defaultProxy>
</system.net>
Thanks all.
Similar question here.
From the request docs:
You can also configure proxies by setting the environment variables
HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.
So you could avoid revealing the credentials in the script by setting the environment variable instead:
$ export HTTPS_PROXY="http://<UserName>:<Password>#proxy_url:8080"
And then in the script you would use the proxy by just calling:
resp = s.get(url, params={'key':urlkey })
I am getting an url with:
r = requests.get("http://myserver.com")
As I can see in the 'access.log' of "myserver.com", the client's system proxy is used. But I want to disable using proxies at all with requests.
The only way I'm currently aware of for disabling proxies entirely is the following:
Create a session
Set session.trust_env to False
Create your request using that session
import requests
session = requests.Session()
session.trust_env = False
response = session.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com')
This is based on this comment by Lukasa and the (limited) documentation for requests.Session.trust_env.
Note: Setting trust_env to False also ignores the following:
Authentication information from .netrc (code)
CA bundles defined in REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE or CURL_CA_BUNDLE (code)
If however you only want to disable proxies for a particular domain (like localhost), you can use the NO_PROXY environment variable:
import os
import requests
os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = 'stackoverflow.com'
response = requests.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com')
You can choose proxies for each request. From the docs:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
"https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
So to disable the proxy, just set each one to the empty string:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "",
"https": "",
}
requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
Update: Switched from None to "", see comments.
The way to stop requests/urllib from proxying any requests is to set the the no_proxy (or NO_PROXY) environment variable to * e.g. in bash:
export no_proxy='*'
Or from Python:
import os
os.environ['no_proxy'] = '*'
To understand why this works is because the urllib.request.getproxies function first checks for any proxies set in the environment variables (e.g. http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy, HTTPS_PROXY, etc) or if none are set then it will check for system configured proxies using platform specific calls (e.g. On MacOS it will check using the system scutil/configd interfaces, and on Windows it will check the Registry). As mentioned in the comments if any proxy variables are set you can reset them as #udani suggested, or unset them like this from Python:
del os.environ['HTTP_PROXY']
Then when urllib attempts to use any proxies the proxyHandler function it will check for the presence and setting of the no_proxy environment variable - which can either be set to specific hostnames as mentioned above or it can be set the special * value whereby all hosts bypass the proxy.
With Python3, jtpereyda's solution didn't work, but the following did:
proxies = {
"http": "",
"https": "",
}
requests library respects environment variables.
http://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/advanced/#proxies
So try deleting environment variables HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY.
import os
for k in list(os.environ.keys()):
if k.lower().endswith('_proxy'):
del os.environ[k]
I implemented #jtpereyda's solution in our production codebase which worked fine on normal successful HTTP requests (200 OK), but this code ended up not working when receiving an HTTP redirect (301 Moved Permamently). Instead use:
requests.get("https://pypi.org/pypi/pillow/9.0.0/json", proxies={"http": "", "https": ""})
For comparison, this line causes a requests.exception.SSLError when behind a proxy (pypi.org tries to redirect us to Pillow with an uppercase P):
requests.get("https://pypi.org/pypi/pillow/9.0.0/json", proxies={"http": None, "https": None})
r = requests.post('https://localhost:44336/api/',data='',verify=False)
I faced the same issue when connecting with localhost to access my .net backend from a Python script with the request module.
I set verify to False, which cancels the default SSL verification.
P.s - above code will throw a warning that can be neglected by below one
import urllib3
urllib3.disable_warnings(urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning)
r=requests.post('https://localhost:44336/api/',data='',verify=False)
For those for which no_proxy="*" doesnt work, try 0.0.0.0/32, that worked for me.
I have a lot of active public proxys that i want to use to scrape some pages.
Can anyone give me an axample of how can i set a proxy in dryscrape?
https://github.com/niklasb/dryscrape
I tried setting sys env http_proxy with python and didnt work.
You can set proxy using dryscrape.Session.set_proxy method.
For example:
my_session = dryscrape.Session(base_url = 'https://stackoverflow.com')
my_session.set_proxy('127.0.0.1', 9000)
