About Web Scraping

A little info before getting to web scraping.

Change Proxy

This will gather a list of proxies.Code origin.

from lxml.html import fromstring
import requests
from itertools import cycle
import traceback

def get_proxies():
    url = 'https://free-proxy-list.net/'
    response = requests.get(url)
    parser = fromstring(response.text)
    proxies = set()
    for i in parser.xpath('//tbody/tr')[:10]:
        if i.xpath('.//td[7][contains(text(),"yes")]'):
            proxy = ":".join([i.xpath('.//td[1]/text()')[0], i.xpath('.//td[2]/text()')[0]])
            proxies.add(proxy)
    return proxies

Round Robin implemeted to rotate the list.

#If you are copy pasting proxy ips, put in the list below
#proxies = ['121.129.127.209:80', '124.41.215.238:45169', '185.93.3.123:8080', '194.182.64.67:3128', '106.0.38.174:8080', '163.172.175.210:3128', '13.92.196.150:8080']
proxies = get_proxies()
proxy_pool = cycle(proxies)

url = 'https://httpbin.org/ip'
for i in range(1,50):
    #Get a proxy from the pool
    proxy = next(proxy_pool)
    print("Request #%d"%i)
    try:
        response = requests.get(url,proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})
        print(response.json())
    except:
        #Most free proxies will often get connection errors. You will have retry the entire request using another proxy to work. 
        #We will just skip retries as its beyond the scope of this tutorial and we are only downloading a single url 
        print("Skipping. Connnection error")

Rotate User Agent

Use IP Rotation in combination with Rotating User Agents. Send request to httpbin.org to check current user agent.

Another code that implements test proxy and change user agent.

Consider using proxy-requests library to change proxy and tor.
