A proxy checker in Python using PycURL, a Python interface to libcurl.
The proxy checker takes a proxy as input and uses it to send a request to a proxy judge (a website that outputs the information that was sent to it). If the request succeeds, the proxy checker will use the information it receives from the proxy judge to determine the proxy's:
- Country
- Protocol
- Anonymity
- Speed
pip install proxy-checkerfrom proxy_checker import ProxyChecker
checker = ProxyChecker()
checker.check_proxy('<ip>:<port>'){
"country": "United States",
"country_code": "US",
"protocols": ["socks4", "socks5"],
"anonymity": "Elite",
"timeout": 1649
}| Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| proxy | str | The proxy to test | |
| check_country | bool | True | If true, the proxy's country will be looked up |
| check_address | bool | False | If true, the proxy's remote address will looked up |
| user | str | None | The proxy's username |
| password | str | None | The proxy's password |
