Using proxy with scrapy is essential for large-scale scraping, but it’s easy to mess up. One common mistake is not setting up the proxy middleware correctly. Double-check your settings.py file to make sure the proxy middleware is enabled.
For rotating proxies, I use a service like Smartproxy. They have a ton of IPs, and their API makes it easy to integrate with Scrapy.
Also, don’t forget to monitor your requests. If you’re getting too many timeouts, your proxy might be overloaded.
