How to Use a Proxy with Python Requests? A Step-by-Step Guide or Best Practices for Setting Up a Pyth

14 Replies, 1073 Views

Hey! Had the same issue last week. Turns out my proxy provider was throttling requests.

If you're using free proxies, they're often overloaded or blacklisted. Try a paid service like Luminati or Smartproxy—way more reliable for python requests proxy setups.

Also, check if your script has retries? Sometimes a quick `time.sleep(1)` between calls helps.
