Free-proxy

Get free working proxy 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 it in your script

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 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'

Requirements

  • Python3
  • Request library
  • Lxml library

pip install free-proxy

First import Free Proxy that way:

from fp.fp import FreeProxy

Options

Parameter Type Example Default value
country_id list ['US', 'BR'] None
timeout float > 0 0.1 0.5
rand bool True False
anonym bool True False
elite bool True False
google bool,None False None
https bool True False
proxy = FreeProxy().get()
proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['US', 'BR']).get()
proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['US']).get()
proxy = FreeProxy(country_id=['GB']).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(rand=True).get()
  • anonym parameter Return only those proxies that are marked as anonymous. Defaults to anonym=False
proxy = FreeProxy(anonym=True).get()
  • elite parameter Return only those proxies that are marked as 'elite proxy'. Defaults to elite=False.
proxy = FreeProxy(elite=True).get()

Note that elite proxies are anonymous at the same time, thus anonym=True automatically when elite=True.

  • google parameter If True it returns only those proxies that are marked as google, if False - as no google. Defaults to google=None that returns all proxies.
proxy = FreeProxy(google=True).get()
  • https parameter If true it returns only those proxies that are marked as HTTPS. Defaults to https=False - i.e. HTTP proxy (for HTTP websites).

    Note that HTTPS proxy is 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 provided parameters script raises FreeProxyException with There are no working proxies at this time. message.
