Here is a code snippet that illustrates how to use Crawlera with Python Requests library:
import requests
url = "http://httpbin.org/ip"
proxy_host = "proxy.crawlera.com"
proxy_port = "8010"
proxy_auth = "<APIKEY>:" # Make sure to include ':' at the end
proxies = {"https": "https://{}@{}:{}/".format(proxy_auth, proxy_host, proxy_port),
"http": "http://{}@{}:{}/".format(proxy_auth, proxy_host, proxy_port)}
r = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies,
verify=False)
print("""
Requesting [{}]
through proxy [{}]
Request Headers:
{}
Response Time: {}
Response Code: {}
Response Headers:
{}
""".format(url, proxy_host, r.request.headers, r.elapsed.total_seconds(),
r.status_code, r.headers, r.text))Note: This code uses Requests version 2.18. Using previous versions can lead to authentication 407 errors, hence ensure Requests version is at least 2.18.
