Free-proxy

Get free working proxy from https://www.sslproxies.org/, https://www.us-proxy.org/, https://free-proxy-list.net/uk-proxy.html and https://free-proxy-list.net and use it in your script

FreeProxy class scrapes proxies from https://www.sslproxies.org/, https://www.us-proxy.org/, https://free-proxy-list.net/uk-proxy.html and https://free-proxy-list.net and checks if proxy is working. There is possibility to filter proxies by country and acceptable timeout. You can also randomize list of proxies from where script would get first working proxy.

You can use it in sending request through custom proxy, with selenium or wherever you want.

Returns proxy as string:

'http://113.160.218.14:8888'

Requirements

• Python3
• Request library
• Lxml library

Installation

from fp.fp import FreeProxy

Options

Parameter	Type	Example	Default value
country_id	list	['US', 'BR']	None
timeout	float > 0	0.1	0.5
rand	bool	True	False
anonym	bool	True	False
elite	bool	True	False
google	bool,None	False	None

• No parameters Get first working proxy from https://www.sslproxies.org/. When no proxy is working, repeat once again from https://free-proxy-list.net

proxy = FreeProxy().get()

• country_id parameter Get first working proxy from specified list of countries (from https://www.sslproxies.org/). If there is no valid proxy from specified list check all countries from https://free-proxy-list.net.

proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['US', 'BR']).get()

• country_id for US and GB You can set country_id to US and GB to get proxy from United States or United Kingdom. In that case proxies will be scrapped from https://www.us-proxy.org/ (US) or https://free-proxy-list.net/uk-proxy.html (GB) page. If there is no valid proxy from specified list check all countries

proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['US']).get()
proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['GB']).get()

• timeout parameter Timeout is parameter for checking if proxy is valid. If test site doesn't respond in specified time script marks this proxy as invalid. Default timeout=0.5. You can change it by defining specified timeout eg. timeout=1.

proxy = FreeProxy(timeout=1).get()

• rand parameter Shuffles proxy list from https://www.sslproxies.org/. Default rand=False and searches for working proxy from newest to oldest (as they are listed in https://www.sslproxies.org/).

proxy = FreeProxy(rand=True).get()

• anonym parameter Return only those proxies that are marked as anonymous. Defaults to anonym=False

proxy = FreeProxy(anonym=True).get()

• elite parameter Return only those proxies that are marked as 'elite proxy'. Defaults to elite=False.

proxy = FreeProxy(elite=True).get()

Note that elite proxies are anonymous at the same time, thus anonym=True automatically when elite=True.

• google parameter If True it returns only those proxies that are marked as google, if False - as no google. Defaults to google=None that returns all proxies.

proxy = FreeProxy(google=True).get()

• https parameter If true it returns only those proxies that are marked as HTTPS. Defaults to https=False - i.e. HTTP proxy (for HTTP websites).

  Note that HTTPS proxy is for both HTTP and HTTPS websites.

proxy = FreeProxy(https=True).get()

You can combine parameters:

proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['US', 'BR'], timeout=0.3, rand=True).get()

If there are no working proxies with provided parameters script raises FreeProxyException with There are no working proxies at this time. message.
