A simple Python package to fetch working proxies with filtering capabilities

ProxyFetcher

A simple Python package to fetch working proxies with filtering capabilities. Get proxies by speed, protocol (HTTP/HTTPS), and country.

Installation

pip install proxyfetcher

Quick Start

from proxy_fetcher import ProxyFetcher

# Create fetcher instance
fetcher = ProxyFetcher()

# Get 5 fastest proxies
fast_proxies = fetcher.get_fast_proxies()
print(fast_proxies)
# ['ip1:port1', 'ip2:port2', ...]

# Get HTTP/HTTPS proxies
http_proxies = fetcher.get_http_proxies()
https_proxies = fetcher.get_https_proxies()

# Get proxies by country
us_proxies = fetcher.get_country_proxies('US')  # United States
uk_proxies = fetcher.get_country_proxies('UK')  # United Kingdom (both 'UK' and 'GB' work)

# Get fast HTTPS proxies from specific country
fast_us_https = fetcher.get_country_proxies(
    country_code='US',
    max_speed_ms=1000,  # Speed < 1000ms
    protocol='https'
)

Features

• Get proxies in simple ip:port format
• Filter by protocol (HTTP/HTTPS)
• Filter by country (using country codes)
• Filter by speed (in milliseconds)
• Get fastest working proxies
• Combine multiple filters

API Reference

ProxyFetcher()

Create a new ProxyFetcher instance.

get_proxies(max_speed_ms: Optional[int] = None, country: Optional[str] = None, protocol: Optional[str] = None) -> List[str]

Get list of proxies with optional filters.

• max_speed_ms: Maximum allowed speed in milliseconds
• country: Country code (e.g., 'US', 'UK')
• protocol: Protocol filter ('http' or 'https')
• Returns: List of proxy strings in ip:port format

get_fast_proxies(limit: int = 5, protocol: Optional[str] = None) -> List[str]

Get fastest working proxies.

• limit: Number of proxies to return (default: 5)
• protocol: Optional protocol filter
• Returns: List of fastest proxy strings

get_http_proxies(max_speed_ms: Optional[int] = None) -> List[str]

Get HTTP proxies.

• max_speed_ms: Optional speed filter
• Returns: List of HTTP proxy strings

get_https_proxies(max_speed_ms: Optional[int] = None) -> List[str]

Get HTTPS proxies.

• max_speed_ms: Optional speed filter
• Returns: List of HTTPS proxy strings

get_country_proxies(country_code: str, max_speed_ms: Optional[int] = None, protocol: Optional[str] = None) -> List[str]

Get proxies from specific country.

• country_code: Country code (e.g., 'US', 'UK')
• max_speed_ms: Optional speed filter
• protocol: Optional protocol filter
• Returns: List of proxy strings from specified country

Example Usage in Projects

With Requests

import requests
from proxy_fetcher import ProxyFetcher

fetcher = ProxyFetcher()
proxies = fetcher.get_fast_proxies()

for proxy in proxies:
    proxy_dict = {
        'http': f'http://{proxy}',
        'https': f'http://{proxy}'
    }
    try:
        response = requests.get('http://example.com', proxies=proxy_dict)
        print(f'Success with proxy: {proxy}')
        break
    except:
        continue

With Selenium

from selenium import webdriver
from proxy_fetcher import ProxyFetcher

fetcher = ProxyFetcher()
proxy = fetcher.get_https_proxies(max_speed_ms=1000)[0]

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={proxy}')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)

With aiohttp

import aiohttp
from proxy_fetcher import ProxyFetcher

async def main():
    fetcher = ProxyFetcher()
    proxy = fetcher.get_fast_proxies(limit=1)[0]
    
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        async with session.get('http://example.com', proxy=f'http://{proxy}') as response:
            html = await response.text()
