How to connect to a proxy, Python Requests?

Question

Python

There is a code that connects to a discord account using a token and sends messages with a delay from the database:

from random import choice
import requests as r
import time

s = r.Session()
s.headers['authorization'] = input('Token: ')
msg_set: list = open('msg.txt', 'r', encoding='utf-8').read().splitlines()
chat_id = input('Input chat id: ')
delay = int(input('Delay between messages in seconds: '))
total_sent = 0


while True:
    try:
        msg = choice(msg_set)
        print(f'Sending message {msg}')
        _data = {'content': msg, 'tts': False}
        resp = s.post(
            f'https://discord.com/api/v9/channels/{chat_id}/messages', json=_data).json()
        msg_id = resp['id']
        total_sent += 1
        print(f'Message sent (Already {total_sent} in total).')
        print(f'Sleeping {delay} seconds')
        time.sleep(delay)
    except Exception as e:
        print(f'Some error: {e}')
        time.sleep(20)

I want to add connection to proxy. I read the documentation, so I didn't really understand. Proxy will use personal socks5 or https with password and username.
Can you help in any way?

Answer 1

I read the documentation, but I don't really understand

What exactly is unclear?

Add your proxies to the dictionary, pass this dictionary as a parameter proxieswhen requesting

import requests 

proxies = {
    'http': 'socks5://31.220.43.141:31539',
    'https': 'socks5://31.220.43.141:31539'
}

r = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org/', proxies=proxies)

print(r.text)

Answer 2

To use a socks5 proxy you need:
pip install -U requests[socks]
To use a proxy without a password, just don't write anything up to and including the "@" character.

import requests

proxy_list = [
{"https": "https://user:[email protected]:port"},
{"socks5": "socks5://user:[email protected]:port"}
]

r = requests.get("https://qna.habr.com", proxies=proxy_list)
print(r.text)

I haven't tested this code so please correct for syntax and other errors.
But I think you get the point.
