aiohttp-socks

CI Coverage Status PyPI version versions

The aiohttp-socks package provides a proxy connector for aiohttp. Supports SOCKS4(a), SOCKS5(h), HTTP (CONNECT) as well as Proxy chains. It uses python-socks for core proxy functionality.

Requirements

  • Python >= 3.8
  • aiohttp >= 3.10.0
  • python-socks[asyncio] >= 2.4.3

Installation

pip install aiohttp_socks

Usage

Simple usage

import aiohttp
from aiohttp_socks import ProxyType, ProxyConnector, ChainProxyConnector


async def fetch(url):
    connector = ProxyConnector.from_url('socks5://user:password@127.0.0.1:1080')
    
    ### or use ProxyConnector constructor
    # connector = ProxyConnector(
    #     proxy_type=ProxyType.SOCKS5,
    #     host='127.0.0.1',
    #     port=1080,
    #     username='user',
    #     password='password',
    #     rdns=True # default is True for socks5
    # )
    
    ### proxy chaining (since ver 0.3.3)
    # connector = ChainProxyConnector.from_urls([
    #     'socks5://user:password@127.0.0.1:1080',
    #     'socks4://127.0.0.1:1081',
    #     'http://user:password@127.0.0.1:3128',
    # ])
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector) as session:
        async with session.get(url) as response:
            return await response.text()

Exception handling recommendations

Since the latest versions of aiohttp do not respect exceptions raised in the custom TCPConnector (see issue #52), the following pattern can be used to handle ProxyConnectionError and ProxyTimeoutError exceptions

from aiohttp_socks import (
    ProxyConnectionError,
    ProxyTimeoutError,
)

def is_proxy_connection_error(e: Exception):
    return isinstance(e, ProxyConnectionError) or isinstance(
        e.__cause__, ProxyConnectionError
    )


def is_proxy_timeout_error(e: Exception):
    return isinstance(e, ProxyTimeoutError) or isinstance(
        e.__cause__, ProxyTimeoutError
    )


try:
    await fetch(...)
except Exception as e:
    if is_proxy_connection_error(e):
        ...do something  useful...

Why yet another SOCKS connector for aiohttp

Unlike aiosocksy, aiohttp_socks has only single point of integration with aiohttp. This makes it easier to maintain compatibility with new aiohttp versions.
