requests-anon

Execute HTTPS requests to a server using anonymous proxies. The intended usage is to by-pass server's IP Blocking while scraping data from API or webpages. It's important to note that using anonymous proxies is risky, unsafe and will cause credentials leaks.

Installation

pip install requests-anon

Usage

import requests
from requests_anon import anon_request

# this one will contact the server directly
response = requests.get("https://google.com")
# this one will contact the server using an anonymous proxy 
response = anon_request("get", "https://google.com")

Considerations

The library gets socks5 free proxies from https://advanced.name/freeproxy. It tries to use the first proxy available, if it fails, it tries the next one; therefore the latency will be higher than using a single proxy or no proxy at all.
