Using Proxy Class
Basic Usage
To get a random HTTP proxy from any country
Note
When the swift.Proxy class instance is created for the first time the Proxy.update() function is called. This method updates the proxy list from Providers so it will take around 10 seconds to do so. This will also repeat after the cachePeriod
Proxy.proxy() method returns a proxy in dict form. See about it in reference.
This is the most basic usage of swiftshadow but wait it got more stuff.
Note
From now on all example will exclude the import statement for the sake of simplicity.
Filtering Proxies
You can filter and get proxies based on country of origin or SSL enabled (HTTPS) proxies.
Country Filter
To filter proxies based on countries pass a list of countries as a two letter code when initialising the swiftshadow.Proxy class.
- For the list of countries and their two letter code visit this wikipedia page.
Protocol Filter
By default all proxies are HTTP for SSL enabled HTTPS proxies set the parameter protocol to https
Warning
There is no validation done by swiftshadow on country codes or protocol as of now. This means if you pass in invalid country codes or protocol then there will be no proxies available to choose from.
Proxy Rotation
Manual Rotation
You can manually rotate proxies using the rotate() method. This will choose a random proxy from available proxies.
from swiftshadow.classes import Proxy
swift = Proxy()
print(swift.proxy())
swift.rotate()
print(swift.proxy())
Auto Rotation
Proxies can be rotated automatically by setting the parameter autoRotate to True when initialising the Proxy object. When auto rotate is set to true proxy is rotated everytime proxy() method is called.
from swiftshadow.classes import Proxy
swift = Proxy(autoRotate=True)
print(swift.proxy())
print(swift.proxy())
