Python Requests
Basic proxy setup with authentication
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'socks5://username:[email protected]:1080',
'https': 'socks5://username:[email protected]:1080'
}
response = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org', proxies=proxies)
print(f'Your IP: {response.text}')cURL
Command-line proxy authentication
# SOCKS5 proxy
curl -x socks5://username:[email protected]:1080 https://api.ipify.org
# HTTP proxy
curl -x http://username:[email protected]:8080 https://api.ipify.orgNode.js
Using proxies with Axios
const axios = require('axios');
const { SocksProxyAgent } = require('socks-proxy-agent');
const agent = new SocksProxyAgent(
'socks5://username:[email protected]:1080'
);
axios.get('https://api.ipify.org', {
httpAgent: agent,
httpsAgent: agent
})
.then(res => console.log('Your IP:', res.data));Popular integration guides
