Use freely available proxies automatically for scrapy

rotating-free-proxies

Avoid being banned by webpages when you crawl them. This is an extension to the amazing scrapy-rotating-proxies library. The main target of this library is to get proxies dynamically when the spider is running. This library automatically fetches freely available lists of proxies from free-proxy-list.net.

Installation

pip install rotating-free-proxies

Usage

After installing you need to do just add following two variables in settings.py of your Scrapy project :

ROTATING_PROXY_LIST_PATH = '/my/path/proxies.txt' # Path that this library uses to store list of proxies
NUMBER_OF_PROXIES_TO_FETCH = 5 # Controls how many proxies to use


DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
    'rotating_free_proxies.middlewares.RotatingProxyMiddleware': 610,
    'rotating_free_proxies.middlewares.BanDetectionMiddleware': 620,
}

For further details on using this library, refer to the original readme.

Thank you!
