Hey! Using proxy with scrapy can be tricky, but here’s what worked for me:
I use Scrapy-Rotating-Proxies middleware. It’s super easy to set up and handles proxy rotation automatically.
Also, make sure you’re using high-quality proxies. Free ones are a nightmare—they’re slow and get banned fast. I recommend checking out Bright Data or Oxylabs for reliable proxies.
One tip: don’t forget to set a reasonable delay between requests. Too many requests too fast = instant ban.
Good luck!
