Python Access to the ProxyMesh API
The ProxyMesh API provides various functionalities such as listing available proxy servers and getting account information. You can access the ProxyMesh API using the Python requests library, or any other http client. Perform HTTP requests to the API endpoints, handling authentication and parsing the response. Here's a basic example demonstrating how to use the requests
library to access the ProxyMesh API, specifically to fetch the list of available proxy servers:
import requests # Replace 'your_username' and 'your_password' with your ProxyMesh credentials username = 'your_username' password = 'your_password' # The URL for the ProxyMesh API endpoint to list available proxies api_url = 'https://proxymesh.com/api/proxies/' # Perform the HTTP request with basic authentication response = requests.get(api_url, auth=(username, password)) # Check if the request was successful if response.status_code == 200: # Parse the JSON response data = response.json() # Print the list of available proxies for proxy in data['proxies']: print(f"IP: {proxy['ip']}, Port: {proxy['port']}, Country: {proxy['country']}") else: print(f"Failed to fetch proxies. Status code: {response.status_code}, Message: {response.text}")
This code performs the following steps:
- Imports the
requests
library. - Sets up your ProxyMesh API credentials (
username
andpassword
). You need to replace'your_username'
and'your_password'
with your actual ProxyMesh username and password. - Defines the API URL for fetching the list of available proxies.
- Makes a GET request to the API endpoint using basic authentication with your username and password.
- If the request is successful (HTTP status code 200), it parses the JSON response and prints out details about each available proxy, such as its IP address, port, and country.
- If the request fails, it prints out the status code and error message.
Because the actual structure of the response might vary, you should refer to the ProxyMesh API documentation for details about the response format and other API endpoints.
