Proxies with Python Requests module

Question

Just a short  simple one about the excellent Requests module for Python   I can t seem to find in the documentation what the variable  proxies  should contain  When I send it a dict with a standard  IP PORT  value it rejected it asking for 2 values  So  I guess  because this doesn t seem to be covered in the docs  that the first value is the ip and the second the port    The docs mention this only      proxies      optional  Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy    So I tried this    what should I be doing    proxy     ip  port    and should I convert these to some type before putting them in the dict    r   requests get url headers headers proxies proxy

You can refer to the proxy documentation here.

If you need to use a proxy, you can configure individual requests with the proxies argument to any request method:

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",
  "https": "https://10.10.1.10:1080",
}

requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)

To use HTTP Basic Auth with your proxy, use the http://user:[email protected]/ syntax:

proxies = {
    "http": "http://user:[email protected]:3128/"
}

The accepted answer was a good start for me  but I kept getting the following error   AssertionError  Not supported proxy scheme None   Fix to this was to specify the http    in the proxy url thus    http proxy     http   194 62 145 248 8080  https proxy     https   194 62 145 248 8080  ftp proxy      10 10 1 10 3128   proxyDict                    http     http proxy                 https    https proxy                 ftp      ftp proxy                 I d be interested as to why the original works for some people but not me    Edit  I see the main answer is now updated to reflect this

I have found that urllib has some really good code to pick up the system s proxy settings and they happen to be in the correct form to use directly   You can use this like   import urllib      r   requests get  http   example org   proxies urllib request getproxies      It works really well and urllib knows about getting Mac OS X and Windows settings as well

The proxies  dict syntax is   protocol   ip port          With it you can specify different  or the same  proxie s  for requests using http  https  and ftp protocols   http proxy     http   10 10 1 10 3128  https proxy    https   10 10 1 11 1080  ftp proxy      ftp   10 10 1 10 3128   proxyDict                     http     http proxy                  https    https proxy                  ftp      ftp proxy                r   requests get url  headers headers  proxies proxyDict    Deduced from the requests documentation      Parameters    method     method for the new Request object    url     URL for the new Request object          proxies      optional  Dictionary mapping protocol to the URL of the proxy              On linux you can also do this via the HTTP PROXY  HTTPS PROXY  and FTP PROXY environment variables   export HTTP PROXY 10 10 1 10 3128 export HTTPS PROXY 10 10 1 11 1080 export FTP PROXY 10 10 1 10 3128   On Windows   set http proxy 10 10 1 10 3128 set https proxy 10 10 1 11 1080 set ftp proxy 10 10 1 10 3128     Thanks  Jay for pointing this out  The syntax changed with requests 2 0 0  You ll need to add a schema to the url   https   2 python-requests org en latest user advanced  proxies
