I'm building a small script to test the certain proxies against the API.
It seems that the actual request isn't trigger under the provided proxy. For example, the following request will be valid and I will get an response from the API.
import requests
r = requests.post("https://someapi.com", data=request_data,
proxies={"http": "http://999.999.999.999:1212"}, timeout=5)
print(r.text)
How come I get the response even if the proxy provided was invalid?
You can define the proxies like this;
import requests
pxy = "http://999.999.999.999:1212"
proxyDict = {
'http': pxy,
'https': pxy,
'ftp': pxy,
'SOCKS4': pxy
}
r = requests.post("https://someapi.com", data=request_data,
proxies=proxyDict, timeout=5)
print(r.text)
I want to connect to a website with Proxy and stay connected there, for let's say 10 seconds.
My script:
import requests
url = 'http://WEBSITE.com/'
proxies ={'http': 'http://IP:PORT'}
s = requests.Session();
s.proxies.update(proxies)
s.get(url);
As much as I learnt, I came up with this script which connects to the website but I think it does not stay connected, what should I do so this script connects to the website with proxy and stays connected?
The Session object doesn't necessarily keep the connection alive. To that end this might work:
import requests
url = 'http://WEBSITE.com/'
proxies = {'http': 'http://IP:PORT'}
headers = {
"connection" : "keep-alive",
"keep-alive" : "timeout=10, max=1000"
}
s = requests.Session();
s.proxies.update(proxies)
s.get(url, headers=headers);
See connection, and keep-alive headers :)
edit: after reviewing the requests documentation, I learned that the Session object can also be used to store headers. Here is a slightly better answer:
import requests
url = 'http://WEBSITE.com/'
proxies = {'http': 'http://IP:PORT'}
headers = {
"connection" : "keep-alive",
"keep-alive" : "timeout=10, max=1000"
}
s = requests.Session()
s.proxies.update(proxies)
s.headers.update(headers)
s.get(url)
I am trying to build a simple webbot in Python, on Windows, using MechanicalSoup. Unfortunately, I am sitting behind a (company-enforced) proxy. I could not find a way to provide a proxy to MechanicalSoup. Is there such an option at all? If not, what are my alternatives?
EDIT: Following Eytan's hint, I added proxies and verify to my code, which got me a step further, but I still cannot submit a form:
import mechanicalsoup
proxies = {
'https': 'my.https.proxy:8080',
'http': 'my.http.proxy:8080'
}
url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/'
browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser()
front_page = browser.open(url, proxies=proxies, verify=False)
form = browser.select_form('form[action="/search"]')
form.print_summary()
form["q"] = "MechanicalSoup"
form.print_summary()
browser.submit(form, url=url)
The code hangs in the last line, and submitdoesn't accept proxies as an argument.
It seems that proxies have to be specified on the session level. Then they are not required in browser.open and submitting the form also works:
import mechanicalsoup
proxies = {
'https': 'my.https.proxy:8080',
'http': 'my.http.proxy:8080'
}
url = 'https://stackoverflow.com/'
browser = mechanicalsoup.StatefulBrowser()
browser.session.proxies = proxies # THIS IS THE SOLUTION!
front_page = browser.open(url, verify=False)
form = browser.select_form('form[action="/search"]')
form["q"] = "MechanicalSoup"
result = browser.submit(form, url=url)
result.status_code
returns 200 (i.e. "OK").
According to their doc, this should work:
browser.get(url, proxies=proxy)
Try passing the 'proxies' argument to your requests.
I'm using the Python requests package to send http requests. I want to add a single proxy to the requests session object. eg.
session = requests.Session()
session.proxies = {...} # Here I want to add a single proxy
Currently I am looping through a bunch of proxies, and at each iteration a new session is made. I only want to set a single proxy for each iteration.
The only example I see in the documentation is:
proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
"https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
I've tried to follow this, but to no avail. Here is my code from the script:
# eg. line = 59.43.102.33:80
r = s.get('http://icanhazip.com', proxies={'http': 'http://' + line})
But I get an error:
requests.packages.urllib3.exceptions.LocationParseError: Failed to parse 59.43.102.33:80
How is it possible to set a single proxy on a session object?
In addition to #neowu' answer, if you would like to set a proxy for the lifetime of a session object, you can also do the following -
import requests
proxies = {'http': 'http://10.11.4.254:3128'}
s = requests.session()
s.proxies.update(proxies)
s.get("http://www.example.com") # Here the proxies will also be automatically used because we have attached those to the session object, so no need to pass separately in each call
In fact, you are right, but you must ensure your defination of 'line', I have tried this , it's ok:
>>> import requests
>>> s = requests.Session()
>>> s.get("http://www.baidu.com", proxies={'http': 'http://10.11.4.254:3128'})
<Response [200]>
Did you define the line like line = ' 59.43.102.33:80', there is a space at the front of address.
There are other ways you can set proxies, apart from the solutions you have got so far:
import requests
with requests.Session() as s:
# either like this
s.proxies = {'https': 'http://105.234.154.195:8888', 'http': 'http://199.188.92.69:8000'}
# or like this
s.proxies['https'] = 'http://105.234.154.195:8888'
r = s.get(link)
Hopefully this may lead to an answer:
urllib3.util.url.parse_url(url)
Given a url, return a parsed Url namedtuple. Best-effort is performed to parse incomplete urls. Fields not provided will be None.

Just a short, simple one about the excellent Requests module for Python.
I can't seem to find in the documentation what the variable 'proxies' should contain. When I send it a dict with a standard "IP:PORT" value it rejected it asking for 2 values.
So, I guess (because this doesn't seem to be covered in the docs) that the first value is the ip and the second the port?
The docs mention this only:
proxies – (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
So I tried this... what should I be doing?
proxy = { ip: port}
and should I convert these to some type before putting them in the dict?
r = requests.get(url,headers=headers,proxies=proxy)
The proxies' dict syntax is {"protocol": "scheme://ip:port", ...}. With it you can specify different (or the same) proxie(s) for requests using http, https, and ftp protocols:
http_proxy = "http://10.10.1.10:3128"
https_proxy = "https://10.10.1.11:1080"
ftp_proxy = "ftp://10.10.1.10:3128"
proxies = {
"http" : http_proxy,
"https" : https_proxy,
"ftp" : ftp_proxy
}
r = requests.get(url, headers=headers, proxies=proxies)
Deduced from the requests documentation:
Parameters:
method – method for the new Request object.
url – URL for the new Request object.
...
proxies – (optional) Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy.
...
On linux you can also do this via the HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and FTP_PROXY environment variables:
export HTTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128
export HTTPS_PROXY=10.10.1.11:1080
export FTP_PROXY=10.10.1.10:3128
On Windows:
set http_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128
set https_proxy=10.10.1.11:1080
set ftp_proxy=10.10.1.10:3128
You can refer to the proxy documentation here.
If you need to use a proxy, you can configure individual requests with the proxies argument to any request method:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
"https": "https://10.10.1.10:1080",
}
requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
To use HTTP Basic Auth with your proxy, use the http://user:password#host.com/ syntax:
proxies = {
"http": "http://user:pass#10.10.1.10:3128/"
}
I have found that urllib has some really good code to pick up the system's proxy settings and they happen to be in the correct form to use directly. You can use this like:
import urllib
...
r = requests.get('http://example.org', proxies=urllib.request.getproxies())
It works really well and urllib knows about getting Mac OS X and Windows settings as well.
The accepted answer was a good start for me, but I kept getting the following error:
AssertionError: Not supported proxy scheme None
Fix to this was to specify the http:// in the proxy url thus:
http_proxy = "http://194.62.145.248:8080"
https_proxy = "https://194.62.145.248:8080"
ftp_proxy = "10.10.1.10:3128"
proxyDict = {
"http" : http_proxy,
"https" : https_proxy,
"ftp" : ftp_proxy
}
I'd be interested as to why the original works for some people but not me.
Edit: I see the main answer is now updated to reflect this :)
If you'd like to persisist cookies and session data, you'd best do it like this:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user:pass#10.10.1.0:3128',
'https': 'https://user:pass#10.10.1.0:3128',
}
# Create the session and set the proxies.
s = requests.Session()
s.proxies = proxies
# Make the HTTP request through the session.
r = s.get('http://www.showmemyip.com/')
8 years late. But I like:
import os
import requests
os.environ['HTTP_PROXY'] = os.environ['http_proxy'] = 'http://http-connect-proxy:3128/'
os.environ['HTTPS_PROXY'] = os.environ['https_proxy'] = 'http://http-connect-proxy:3128/'
os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = os.environ['no_proxy'] = '127.0.0.1,localhost,.local'
r = requests.get('https://example.com') # , verify=False
The documentation
gives a very clear example of the proxies usage
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}
requests.get('http://example.org', proxies=proxies)
What isn't documented, however, is the fact that you can even configure proxies for individual urls even if the schema is the same!
This comes in handy when you want to use different proxies for different websites you wish to scrape.
proxies = {
'http://example.org': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
'http://something.test': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}
requests.get('http://something.test/some/url', proxies=proxies)
Additionally, requests.get essentially uses the requests.Session under the hood, so if you need more control, use it directly
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}
session = requests.Session()
session.proxies.update(proxies)
session.get('http://example.org')
I use it to set a fallback (a default proxy) that handles all traffic that doesn't match the schemas/urls specified in the dictionary
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}
session = requests.Session()
session.proxies.setdefault('http', 'http://127.0.0.1:9009')
session.proxies.update(proxies)
session.get('http://example.org')
