LookMovie Proxy

You need to go to "Settings", under "Sharing" select "VPN". And there you can either enter the connection parameters manually (address, port number, username and password), or choose a program that automatically connects the user to the proxy (free applications of this type can be found in Google Play).

Here are some general guidelines to approach scraping protected sites:

1. Check Terms of Service:

   • Review the terms of service, robots.txt file, and any other usage policies provided by the website. Some websites explicitly prohibit scraping.

2. Contact the Website Owner:

   • If you have a legitimate reason for scraping and the website provides contact information, consider reaching out to the website owner or administrator to request permission.

3. Use Official APIs:

   • Many websites offer official APIs that allow controlled access to their data. Using an API is a sanctioned and structured way to obtain information.

4. Simulate Human Behavior:

   • Mimic human behavior by setting appropriate headers, handling cookies, and introducing delays between requests. This helps avoid detection mechanisms that may identify automated bots.

5. Handle CAPTCHAs:

   • Some sites may use CAPTCHAs to prevent automated access. Implement mechanisms to handle CAPTCHAs if they are encountered.

6. Use Proxy Servers:

   • Rotate IP addresses using proxy servers to avoid IP-based blocking. However, be aware that some sites may block common proxy server IP ranges.

7. Avoid Aggressive Scraping:

   • Limit the frequency and volume of your requests to avoid overloading the server. Implement rate limiting and throttling to mimic human browsing behavior.

8. Stay Informed:

   • Monitor the website for changes in its structure or policies. Adjust your scraping strategy accordingly to adapt to any modifications.

If PyCharm is not recognizing the Selenium library, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue

1. Check Project Interpreter

Ensure that you have the correct Python interpreter selected for your project. Open PyCharm, go to File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter. Make sure that the interpreter you are using has Selenium installed.

2. Install Selenium

Install the Selenium library if you haven't done so. You can install it using the following pip command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install selenium

3. PyCharm Reindexing:

   • Sometimes, PyCharm may not automatically recognize installed packages. Try restarting PyCharm, and it will perform a reindexing of your project. This may resolve the issue.

4. Virtual Environment:

   • If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated. PyCharm should recognize the packages installed within the virtual environment.

5. PyCharm Cache:

   • Clear PyCharm's cache. Go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and select "Invalidate and Restart." This will clear the caches and restart PyCharm.

6. Check Project Structure:

   • Verify that your project structure is set up correctly. The directory containing your Selenium scripts should be marked as the source root. Right-click on the directory and select Mark Directory as > Sources Root.

7. Check Python Path:

   • Verify that the Python path in PyCharm matches the path where Selenium is installed. You can check this in the Project Interpreter settings.

8. Check for Typos:

   • Ensure there are no typos or mistakes in your code. PyCharm might not recognize the library if there are syntax errors or import issues.

9. PyCharm Plugin:

   • Check if you have a PyCharm plugin related to Selenium. Some plugins provide additional support for Selenium. Make sure it is installed and enabled.

10. Update PyCharm:

    • Ensure that you are using the latest version of PyCharm. Updating to the latest version may resolve compatibility issues.

11. Recreate Virtual Environment (if applicable):

    • If you are using a virtual environment, try recreating it. Activate the new virtual environment and install Selenium again.

After going through these steps, PyCharm should recognize the Selenium library. If the issue persists, double-check your project configuration and make sure there are no conflicting settings or issues with your Python environment.

Most often it is used to substitute your real IP address. An example of when this is needed: watching shows on Netflix that are only available to US users. A proxy can be used to make a user logging in from anywhere in the world will be identified by the IP address as a US user. Another option is to test your site through a local web server. A proxy in this case is used to intercept all the traffic in order to analyze it further for errors and failures.

When using a proxy, Google Chrome warns the user about it at startup. To connect directly, you must disable proxies at system level. That is, go to "Settings" Windows, then - "Network and Internet", in the section "Proxy server" disable the corresponding item.
