Hey everyone! 👋
So, I’ve been *using proxy with scrapy* for a while now, and man, it’s been a rollercoaster. Sometimes it works like a charm, other times I get blocked faster than I can say "scrapy crawl." 😅
Anyone got tips on best practices for *using proxy with scrapy* without getting blocked? Like, how often should I rotate proxies? Should I tweak the delay settings? Or is there some secret sauce I’m missing?
Also, free vs. paid proxies—worth the investment or nah? I’ve heard mixed things.
Would love to hear your experiences! Cheers! 🍻
P.S. Sorry for any typos, typing this on my phone while waiting for my coffee. ☕
Hey! Using proxy with scrapy can definitely be tricky. I’ve found that rotating proxies every 5-10 requests works best for me. Also, setting a random delay between 2-5 seconds helps avoid getting blocked.
As for free vs paid proxies, I’d say go for paid if you’re scraping at scale. Free ones are too unreliable. I use Bright Data—it’s a bit pricey but worth it for the reliability.
Good luck! �
Yo! I feel your pain. Using proxy with scrapy is like playing whack-a-mole sometimes. 😂
I’d recommend tweaking your delay settings to at least 3 seconds. Also, try using a proxy pool with at least 10-20 IPs and rotate them frequently.
For tools, check out Scrapy-rotating-proxy or Scrapy-proxy-pool. They’ve saved me a ton of headaches.
Free proxies? Nah, they’re a waste of time unless you’re just testing stuff.
Hey there! Using proxy with scrapy is all about balance. Too many requests too fast, and you’re toast.
I’d suggest using a mix of residential proxies (paid, obviously) and setting a custom download delay in your settings.py file. Something like:
DOWNLOAD_DELAY = random.uniform(2, 5)
Also, check out Zyte (formerly Scrapinghub) for reliable proxy services.
Using proxy with scrapy is a game of patience, my friend. 😅
I’ve had the best luck with rotating residential proxies and setting a random user-agent for each request. Oh, and don’t forget to handle CAPTCHAs—some sites are brutal.
I use Oxylabs for proxies. It’s not cheap, but it’s rock-solid.
Hey! Using proxy with scrapy can be a headache, but here’s what works for me:
- Rotate proxies every 10-15 requests.
- Set a random delay between 3-7 seconds.
- Use a mix of datacenter and residential proxies.
For tools, I recommend ProxyMesh or Smartproxy. They’re affordable and reliable.
Free proxies? Forget it. They’re more trouble than they’re worth.
Using proxy with scrapy is like trying to sneak past a bouncer at a club. 😂
I’d say rotate proxies every 5 requests and set a delay of at least 2 seconds. Also, use a middleware like scrapy-fake-useragent to randomize your user-agent.
For paid proxies, I’ve had good results with Luminati (now Bright Data).
Hey! Using proxy with scrapy is all about staying under the radar.
I’d recommend rotating proxies every 10 requests and setting a random delay between 2-4 seconds. Also, make sure to handle retries gracefully.
For tools, check out Scrapy-proxy-pool or Scrapy-rotating-proxy. They’re lifesavers.
And yeah, skip the free proxies. They’re just not worth it.
Using proxy with scrapy can be a pain, but here’s what I do:

I’ve had good luck with Smartproxy. It’s affordable and works well for most scraping tasks.
