Scraping data from a community wall on VK (Vkontakte) using the VK API requires authentication and making requests to the API endpoints. VK provides an official API that you can use to access various data, including posts from community walls.

Here's a general guide on how to scrape posts from a community wall using the VK API:

1. Create a VK App:

   • Go to the VK Developers website and create a VK app.
   • Obtain the "App ID" and "Secure Key" for your app.

2. Authentication:

   • Get an access token to authenticate your requests. You can use the Implicit Flow for user authentication or the Client Credentials Flow for app authentication.

3. Make API Requests:

   • Use the obtained access token to make requests to the VK API. The endpoint for getting wall posts is wall.get.
   • You'll need the community's ID or screen name to get its wall posts.

Here's an example using Python and the requests library:

import requests

# Replace with your VK app details and access token
app_id = 'your_app_id'
secure_key = 'your_secure_key'
access_token = 'your_access_token'

# Replace with the community ID or screen name
community_id = 'your_community_id_or_screen_name'

# API endpoint for getting wall posts
api_url = f'https://api.vk.com/method/wall.get?owner_id=-{community_id}&count=10&access_token={access_token}&v=5.131'

# Make the API request
response = requests.get(api_url)
data = response.json()

# Extract and print the posts
if 'response' in data and 'items' in data['response']:
    posts = data['response']['items']
    for post in posts:
        print(post['text'])
else:
    print('Error fetching wall posts')

Note: Make sure to handle errors and check the VK API documentation for more details on available parameters and responses.

To enable a proxy on your computer, you'll need to configure the proxy settings for your operating system and web browser. Here's a general guide for Windows and macOS, along with instructions for popular web browsers:

For Windows:

1. Press Win + I to open the Settings app.
2. Click on "Network & Internet."
3. On the left sidebar, click on "Proxy."
4. Select "Manual proxy setup" and enter the proxy server's IP address and port number. If your proxy requires a username and password, enter those as well.
5. Click "Save" or "Apply" to enable the proxy.

For macOS:

1. Open "System Preferences."
2. Click on "Network."
3. Select the network connection you want to configure (e.g., Wi-Fi or Ethernet).
4. Click on the "Proxy" tab.
5. Choose "Automatic Proxy Configuration," "Manual Proxy Configuration," or "No Proxy" based on your needs.
6. If you choose "Manual Proxy Configuration," enter the proxy server's IP address and port number. If your proxy requires a username and password, enter those as well.

Click "OK" or "Apply" to enable the proxy.

To configure a Socks5 proxy for Chrome in Selenium using Python, you can use the --proxy-server command-line option with the Socks5 proxy address. Here's an example using the webdriver.Chrome class in Python:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service as ChromeService

# Socks5 proxy configuration
socks5_proxy = "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080"  # Replace with your actual Socks5 proxy address

# Configure Chrome options with proxy settings
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server={socks5_proxy}')

# Create a Chrome WebDriver instance with the configured options
chrome_service = ChromeService(executable_path="path/to/chromedriver")  # Replace with the actual path
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=chrome_service, options=chrome_options)

# Example: Navigate to a website using the configured proxy
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Perform other actions with the WebDriver as needed

# Close the browser window
driver.quit()

- Replace "socks5://127.0.0.1:1080" with the actual Socks5 proxy address you want to use.
- Download the ChromeDriver executable from the official ChromeDriver download page and provide the path to the executable in the executable_path parameter of ChromeService.
- Update the driver.get() method to navigate to the website you want.

Make sure to have the selenium library installed (pip install selenium) and ensure that the ChromeDriver version is compatible with the Chrome browser installed on your system.

After editing is complete, the proxy must be disabled in order to send the video for color correction. To do this, select all the proxies in the project window and choose the "Switch offline" command from the context menu. Then, after making sure that the "Media files remain on disk" option is active, click "Ok". If after that the program monitor window is filled with red color, do not be frightened, it is normal.

Go to the settings (the icon in the form of three dots) and open the section "Settings". In the tab at the very bottom, click on "Advanced settings". Click on "Open proxy settings for computer" and in the window that appears, click on "Network settings". Find the line "Automatic detection of parameters", uncheck it, and then, in the section "Proxy", activate the option "Use a proxy server". Enter the proxy host and port in the appropriate fields, and then click "Apply".
