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

Wow, thanks everyone for the awesome tips! I tried using curl with proxy like you suggested, and it worked like a charm. I used the `-x` flag with my proxy details and tested it on http://httpbin.org/ip—it showed the proxy IP, so I know it’s working.

I do have a follow-up question though: how do I handle rotating proxies with curl? I’ve seen some people mention it, but I’m not sure how to set it up. Do I need to write a script for that, or are there tools that can automate it?

Also, thanks for the heads-up about free proxies—I’ll definitely avoid them and look into the paid options you mentioned. Cheers!
