Proxies with Python 'Requests' module

Question

Just a short, simple one about the excellent Requests module for Python.

I can\'t seem to find in the documentation what the variable \'proxies\' should contain. Whe

Answer 1

You can refer to the proxy documentation here.

If you need to use a proxy, you can configure individual requests with the proxies argument to any request method:

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
  "https": "https://10.10.1.10:1080",
}

requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)

To use HTTP Basic Auth with your proxy, use the http://user:password@host.com/ syntax:

proxies = {
    "http": "http://user:pass@10.10.1.10:3128/"
}
