ProxyFall proxies in Python requests
requests is Python's most used HTTP library. Here's how to set ProxyFall up for scraping and API calls from residential or datacenter IPs, in a couple of minutes.
Setup
Set up ProxyFall in Python requests
- 1
Copy your proxy login and password from the ProxyFall dashboard.
- 2
Put the targeting in the username (for example -country-us) and pass the proxy URL for both http and https.
- 3
Leave the session out for a new IP on every request; add -session-NAME-lifetime-30 to keep one for 30 minutes.
Example
import requests
proxy = "http://YOUR_LOGIN-country-us:YOUR_PASSWORD@gw.proxyfall.com:59731"
r = requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)
print(r.json())Replace YOUR_LOGIN and YOUR_PASSWORD with the proxy login and password in your dashboard. The dashboard's generator writes these lines for any country, state, city or ISP.
Tips
Getting the most out of it
- For SOCKS5, install requests[socks] and use socks5h://… so DNS is resolved by the proxy.
- Set a timeout: a residential IP is a real home connection and some are slow.
FAQ
Python requests and ProxyFall: questions, answered
Do ProxyFall proxies work with Python requests?
Yes. ProxyFall is a standard HTTP(S) and SOCKS5 proxy at gw.proxyfall.com:59731 with a login and password, which Python requests supports. Targeting goes in the login, so nothing else needs configuring.
How do I rotate IPs?
Leave the session out of the login and every new connection gets a new IP. Add -session-NAME-lifetime-30 to keep one IP for 30 minutes (anything from a few minutes to 24 hours).
How much does it cost?
Residential traffic costs $0.99/GB for 1 to 49 GB and down to $0.86/GB from 1 TB, with every targeting option included and GB that never expire. Your first deposit of $5 or more, by card or crypto, adds 250 MB free.
