How to Use curl with Proxy for Web Scraping and API Requests?

Yo, curl with proxy ain’t that hard once you get the basics down. Just slap the proxy details in the command like this:

```
curl --proxy http://yourproxy:port http://example.com
```

But here’s the thing—some proxies need auth, so don’t forget to include your username and password if required. Also, if you’re doing web scraping, rotate your proxies to avoid getting blocked. Tools like Scrapy or even Python with requests library can make this easier.

And yeah, avoid free proxies—they’re trash for anything serious.
