Proxy for Grepsr

A VPN on your phone lets you protect your privacy when you connect to public WiFi hotspots. You can also use it to hide your real location, connect to blocked sites and applications. There are many ways to use VPN.

It depends on the purpose for which you plan to work with proxies at all. Personally, one is enough for myself. But if you plan to do massive parsing, it may not be enough to have 100 pieces.

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}")

Both on a PC and on modern cell phones, a built-in utility that is responsible for working with network connections, provides the ability to set up a connection through a proxy server. You just need to enter the IP-address for connection and the port number. In the future all traffic will be redirected through this proxy. Accordingly, the provider will not block it.

A proxy is responsible for forwarding traffic. Technically, it just copies the traffic and sends it to the Internet, but it also replaces various metadata (the type of equipment from which the request is sent, the port number, the IP address, and so on). Or it can be simply called a "mediator" in the computer network.
