Requests Library

swiftshadow integrates seamlessly with the popular requests library, allowing you to easily route your HTTP/HTTPS requests through a proxy.

Example Usage

Here’s how you can use a proxy fetched by QuickProxy with the requests library:

from swiftshadow import QuickProxy
from requests import get

# Fetch a proxy
proxy = QuickProxy()

# Use the proxy with requests
resp = get('https://checkip.amazonaws.com', proxies=proxy.as_requests_dict())
print(resp.text)

Explanation

  • QuickProxy fetches a proxy object.
  • The as_requests_dict() method converts the proxy into a format compatible with the requests library.
  • The proxies parameter in requests.get() is used to route the request through the proxy.

Note

If the proxy is working correctly, the output should be an IPv4 address that is not your own.

For more advanced use cases, such as caching and automatic rotation, consider using the ProxyInterface class. For additional details, visit the References page.
