Basic Python requests Proxy Setup

import requests

proxies = {
    "http": "http://username:password@proxy.squidproxies.com:8907",
    "https": "http://username:password@proxy.squidproxies.com:8907"
}

res = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies=proxies)
print("Proxy IP:", res.text)

Importing a Proxy List for Bulk or Rotation

with open("proxies.txt") as f:
    proxy_list = [line.strip() for line in f if line.strip()]

Use this with a rotation or retry handler for scalable applications.

đź“Ť Tip: Deduplicate, validate, and randomize your proxy list before use.


Proxy Integration Guides by Language


Proxy Rotation & Session Strategy at Scale

  • Time-Based Rotation (Sticky Sessions)
    • Residential proxies rotate ~every 10 minutes
    • Ideal for sessions (login, carts, dashboards)
    • IP remains consistent during short sessions
  • Request-Based Rotation (Per Request)
    • Datacenter proxies rotated per-request
    • Ideal for public scraping, SEO audits, SERP monitoring

Scaling Tips for Scrapers & Bots

  • Assign 1 proxy per thread or browser instance
  • Don’t send more than 10–50 requests per proxy per target (depends on sensitivity)
  • Rotate User-Agents with IPs to avoid fingerprinting
  • Use headers, timeouts, and delays to reduce detection

Next Steps for Optimizing Proxy Usage

You’re now fully connected and verified. From here, you can:

  • Enable automatic proxy rotation
  • Implement [sticky sessions] for account-level workflows
  • Optimize your scraping with header spoofing and retries
