Rotating proxies for Scrapy
Project description
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!
