Using Smart Proxy Manager with Python#
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.
Here is a code example that illustrates how to use Smart Proxy Manager with Python Requests library:
import requests
url = "http://httpbin.org/ip"
proxy_host = "proxy.zyte.com"
proxy_port = "8011"
proxy_auth = "<Smart Proxy Manager API KEY>:" # Make sure to include ':' at the end
proxies = {"https": "http://{}@{}:{}/".format(proxy_auth, proxy_host, proxy_port),
"http": "http://{}@{}:{}/".format(proxy_auth, proxy_host, proxy_port)}
r = requests.get(
url,
proxies=proxies,
verify='/path/to/zyte-ca.crt'
)
print(
f"Requesting [{url}]\n\n"
f"through proxy [{proxy_host}]\n\n"
"Request Headers:"
f"{r.request.headers}\n\n"
f"Response Time: {r.elapsed.total_seconds()}\n\n"
f"Response Code: {r.status_code}\n\n"
f"Response Headers: {r.headers}\n\n"
f"Response Cookies: {r.cookies.items()}\n\n"
f"Response Body: {r.text}\n"
)
