Hostinger Reverse Proxy

Each option has its own advantages and disadvantages. HTTP is faster because it supports caching. And SOCKS provides better anonymity because it hides the headers of requested pages.

Create the first profile by specifying its name and selecting the desired configuration. The configuration is a non-repeating combination of different versions of the operating system and browser. After setting the language, open the "Network" tab and select the type of proxy (socks5 or https). Now it remains only to fill in the data in the highlighted fields to complete the installation of the proxy.

Most often Yandex bans only public proxies that can be used by many users at the same time. The main reason for this is the high probability of cyber-attacks. Proxies are often used for DDoS, which means artificially overloading the server by sending a large number of requests to it every second.

When performing web scraping with authorization in Python, you typically need to simulate the login process of a user by sending the necessary authentication data (such as username and password) to the website. The exact steps depend on the authentication method used by the website, and there are several common approaches

Basic Authentication (using requests library)

If the website uses HTTP Basic Authentication, you can include the authentication credentials in the request headers using the requests library.

import requests

url = 'https://example.com/data'
username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'

response = requests.get(url, auth=(username, password))

if response.status_code == 200:
    # Successfully authenticated, you can now parse the content
    print(response.text)
else:
    print(f"Failed to authenticate. Status code: {response.status_code}")

Form-Based Authentication

For websites that use form-based authentication (login form), you need to send a POST request with the appropriate form data.

import requests

login_url = 'https://example.com/login'
data = {
    'username': 'your_username',
    'password': 'your_password',
}

# Use a session to persist the authentication across requests
with requests.Session() as session:
    response = session.post(login_url, data=data)

    if response.status_code == 200:
        # Authentication successful, continue with subsequent requests
        data_url = 'https://example.com/data'
        data_response = session.get(data_url)
        print(data_response.text)
    else:
        print(f"Failed to authenticate. Status code: {response.status_code}")

OAuth Authentication

For websites using OAuth, you might need to use an OAuth library like requests_oauthlib or oauthlib to handle the OAuth flow.

Handling Cookies

Sometimes, authentication is maintained using cookies. In such cases, you need to handle cookies in your requests.

import requests

login_url = 'https://example.com/login'
data = {
    'username': 'your_username',
    'password': 'your_password',
}

# Use a session to persist the authentication across requests
with requests.Session() as session:
    login_response = session.post(login_url, data=data)

    if login_response.status_code == 200:
        # Authentication successful, continue with subsequent requests
        data_url = 'https://example.com/data'
        data_response = session.get(data_url)
        print(data_response.text)
    else:
        print(f"Failed to authenticate. Status code: {login_response.status_code}")

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.
