Hey! I’ve been using curl with proxy for a while now, and here’s my two cents: always test your proxy before using it in your main script. You can do this by running a simple curl command to a site like http://ipinfo.io. If the IP matches your proxy, you’re good to go.
Also, don’t forget to handle errors gracefully. Sometimes proxies fail, and your script should account for that. Tools like Postman can help you test your requests before moving to curl.
Lastly, if you’re scraping, consider using a headless browser like Puppeteer for more complex tasks. Curl is great, but it has its limits.
