Proxy for AutoScraper

To check the quality of a proxy server, you can use one of the proxy checkers. There are a lot of them on the Internet. For example, hidemy.name. On the page of the checker you need to specify the IP-address and port of the required proxy server.

In Selenium, you can find out the URL of a newly opened window by switching to that window and retrieving its URL. Here's a step-by-step guide in Python:

1. Switch to the New Window

After opening a new window, you need to switch the focus of the WebDriver to that window.

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Open a new window (e.g., by clicking a link)
new_window_link = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Open New Window")
new_window_link.click()

# Switch to the new window
new_window_handle = driver.window_handles[-1]
driver.switch_to.window(new_window_handle)

In this example, replace "Open New Window" with the actual link text or locator that opens the new window.

2. Retrieve the URL of the New Window

Once you have switched to the new window, you can retrieve its URL using current_url.

new_window_url = driver.current_url
print("URL of the new window:", new_window_url)

This will print the URL of the new window. You can then store it in a variable or use it as needed in your script.

3. Switch Back to the Original Window (Optional)

If you need to switch back to the original window after retrieving the URL from the new window, you can do so using a similar process.

original_window_handle = driver.window_handles[0]
driver.switch_to.window(original_window_handle)

Replace 0 with the index of the original window's handle in the window_handles list.

Here's the complete example:

from selenium import webdriver

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://example.com")

# Open a new window (replace with the actual link or action)
new_window_link = driver.find_element_by_link_text("Open New Window")
new_window_link.click()

# Switch to the new window
new_window_handle = driver.window_handles[-1]
driver.switch_to.window(new_window_handle)

# Retrieve the URL of the new window
new_window_url = driver.current_url
print("URL of the new window:", new_window_url)

# Switch back to the original window (optional)
original_window_handle = driver.window_handles[0]
driver.switch_to.window(original_window_handle)

# Continue with your script...

# Close the browser when done
driver.quit()

Make sure to adjust the code based on the actual actions and elements in your application that trigger the opening of a new window.

Disabling popups using Selenium can be done by interacting with the popup elements or by using JavaScript to close them. Here's an example using Python and Chrome:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC

driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://www.example.com")

# Locate the popup element, if applicable
# For example, if the popup has a button with the ID "close-button"
popup_button = driver.find_element(By.ID, "close-button")

# Click the popup button to close the popup
popup_button.click()

# Alternatively, use JavaScript to close the popup
# driver.execute_script("window.close();")

In this example, the script locates the popup button (if applicable) and clicks on it to close the popup. If the popup does not have a specific button or element to close it, you can use JavaScript to close the popup:

driver.execute_script("window.close();")

This script will close the current window, effectively closing the popup. Note that using JavaScript to close a popup might not work in all cases, as some websites might have additional logic to prevent the popup from being closed programmatically.

Keep in mind that some websites might have multiple popups or modal windows. In such cases, you may need to modify the script to handle each popup individually or use a loop to close all popups.

Remember to replace "https://www.example.com" and "close-button" with the actual values for the website you are working with. Also, ensure that the browser driver (e.g., ChromeDriver for Google Chrome) is installed and properly configured in your environment.

It means a proxy server for devices that connect to the router via WiFi. It is also a remote server to let traffic through. For example, a user sends a request to Netflix from his smartphone through a proxy that is hosted in the UK. Netflix servers will "recognize" such a user as being from the UK (regardless of his actual location).

There are lots of ways to use them. For example, you can swap your real IP address location for an American one, thus getting the opportunity to watch Netflix at a bargain price. Or you can set up parsing traffic through a proxy to test the security of your web applications. Or you can create a proxy server on your local network that allows traffic through and blocks requests to certain sites.
