Empty Proxy List

[cbjrobertson]

I am running http_request_randomizer via your python api on python 3.6 on OSX 10.13.1. Running the method call recommended here results in the following log and error. The list of proxies is apparently empty due to various errors in the proxy list parser requests. Is this something I'm doing wrong or a bug?

Hello @cbjrobertson ,

I was unable to reproduce the error with Python 3.6.4 but I am quite sure the error is related to your python distribution (Conda) and more precisly with the way they verify SSL certificates. Source: conda/conda#5170

I would either try their solution or a clean (non-Conda) python interpreter.

Solved by running in IDLE. Thank you.

How do you run it in IDLE? I face the same problem

[vimevim]

I tried with idle and with python 3.6.4(conda), what should I do?
