Need Help Using Proxy with Scrapy: Best Practices and Common Pitfalls?

Using proxy with scrapy is a skill, honestly.

I’d suggest Scrapy-Crawlera. It’s a proxy service designed for scraping, and it handles rotation, CAPTCHAs, and bans automatically.

Another tip: don’t scrape too aggressively. Start slow and increase your speed gradually.

Also, check out ProxyScrape for free proxies if you’re on a budget. Just be prepared to deal with some duds.

Hope this helps!
