How to connect to a proxy server in Beautifulsoup4?

Question

Python

Hello everyone, I am writing a script on Anaconda using Beautifulsoup and I want to connect to the Smartproxy proxy network, can you tell me where to start? I want the IP to change with every request.

You need to start with the understanding that BeautifulSoup only parses the html markup, and does not participate in receiving it from the server. Accordingly, the issue of connecting to a proxy has nothing to do with BeautifulSoup. The next step is to read the documentation of the library that you use to get the markup from the server.
