Free-proxy

Get free working 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 use them in your script

The 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 to make sure that it works. You can filter proxies by country, and specify an acceptable timeout. You can also randomize the list of proxies, rather than going in the order that they are scraped in.

You can use this to send requests through a custom proxy, with Selenium, or with anything else.

Returns proxy as string:

'http://113.160.218.14:8888'

Requirements

• Python 3
• Requests library
• Lxml library

Installation

pip install free-proxy

Usage examples

First import Free Proxy that way:

from fp.fp import FreeProxy

Options

• No parameters Get the first working proxy from https://www.sslproxies.org/. If no proxies are working, try again pulling from https://free-proxy-list.net

proxy = FreeProxy().get()

• country_id parameter Get the first working proxy from a specified list of countries (from https://www.sslproxies.org/). If no proxies are working check all countries pulling from https://free-proxy-list.net.

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

• country_id for US and GB You can set the country_id to US or GB to get a proxy from the United States or the United Kingdom respectively. Proxies will be scrapped from https://www.us-proxy.org/ (US) or https://free-proxy-list.net/uk-proxy.html (GB). If there are no working proxies in the specified list check all countries

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

• timeout parameter Timeout is the parameter for checking if a proxy is valid. If the server does not respond in specified time, the script will mark the proxy as invalid. Default timeout=0.5. You can change it by specifying a timeout eg. timeout=1.

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

• rand parameter Shuffles the order of the proxy list from https://www.sslproxies.org/ instead of going from newest to oldest (as listed on the website). Defaults to rand=False

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

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

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

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

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

Please note: elite proxies are always anonymous. If you set elite=True, you will also be eliminating any non-anonymous proxies.

• google parameter If True it will only return proxies marked as "google". If False, it will not return proxies marked as "google". Defaults to google=None, which returns all proxies.

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

• https parameter If True it will only return proxies marked as HTTPS. Defaults to https=False - i.e. HTTP proxy (for HTTP websites).

  Please note: HTTPS proxies work 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 the provided parameters, the script will raise FreeProxyException with the message There are no working proxies at this time..
