Sometimes, we want to run Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python.
In this article, we’ll look at how to run Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python.
How to run Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python?
To run Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python, we can use the Proxy class.
For instance, we write
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.proxy import Proxy, ProxyType
prox = Proxy()
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.socks_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.ssl_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
capabilities = webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)
to create a Proxy object.
Then we set the proxy settings for various protocols with
prox.proxy_type = ProxyType.MANUAL
prox.http_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.socks_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
prox.ssl_proxy = "ip_addr:port"
Next, we add the Proxy object to the capabilities with
prox.add_to_capabilities(capabilities)
And then we create the Chrome driver with the capabilities with
driver = webdriver.Chrome(desired_capabilities=capabilities)
to set the proxy settings when starting Chrome.
Conclusion
To run Selenium Webdriver with a proxy in Python, we can use the Proxy class.
