Proxy Ball Cap

You can avoid fraud related to the use of your proxy by using special online services. Proxy-checkers are focused on recognizing any proxy format, its degree of uniqueness and anonymity, speed, as well as a number of other important parameters.

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.

To check if your proxy is working, you can perform a simple test by accessing a website through the proxy. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Open your web browser and navigate to a website that you can use to test your proxy connection. Websites like "http://www.whatismyip.com/" or "https://www.proxy-check.org/" are commonly used for this purpose.

2. If you're using a proxy server, you'll need to configure your browser or a proxy extension to use the proxy. You can usually find this setting in your browser's network settings or under the proxy settings.

3. Enter the proxy server address (IP address or hostname) and port number in the appropriate fields in your browser or proxy extension settings.

4. Save your changes and refresh the web page with the test site.

5. If the proxy is working correctly, the website should display your proxy's IP address or a different IP address than your original one. This indicates that the proxy is successfully routing your traffic.

6. If the website displays your original IP address, it means that the proxy is not working or not being used.

If you can't proxy requests in Scrapy:

- Verify correct proxy configuration in Scrapy settings.
- Confirm proxy functionality with external tools.
- Check for typos or errors in your code and settings.
- Ensure proxy authentication details are correct.
- Test with a direct internet connection to isolate the issue.
- Check for IP blocking by the target website.
- Confirm proper configuration of the HttpProxyMiddleware.
- Use Scrapy logging to inspect requests and responses.
- Ensure your proxy supports HTTPS if needed.
- Test with a single, static proxy for simplicity.
- Keep Scrapy and dependencies up to date.
- Consider using middleware libraries like scrapy-rotating-proxies.

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.
