Free-proxy

Get free working proxy from https://www.sslproxies.org/ and use it in your script

FreeProxy class scrapes proxies from https://www.sslproxies.org/ 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'

• country_id parameter Get first working proxy from specified list of countries. If there is no valid proxy from specified list check all countries

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

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

If there is no working proxy script returns There are no working proxies at this time. message.
