It removes the need for manual proxy verification and allows users to get a working list of proxies in seconds. This tool is ideal for anyone looking to use free proxies for browsing or scraping, especially when quality and speed matter.
- Scrapes proxies from 17 different free proxy websites and APIs.
- Automatically tests proxies based on a target URL and timeout.
- Filters out proxies that fail the test, returning only reliable ones.
- Supports multithreading for faster scraping and testing.
- Easy configuration and integration for web scraping and browsing.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Proxy Scraping | Gathers proxies from multiple trusted proxy websites and APIs. |
| Proxy Testing | Validates proxies by testing them against a target URL with a configurable timeout to ensure they work. |
| Multithreading Support | Uses concurrent processing to quickly scrape and test proxies, reducing runtime. |
| Customizable Configuration | Users can easily adjust settings for proxy testing, including the target URL, timeout, and store options. |
| Output Formats | Proxies can be saved in various formats and stored in a key-value store or dataset for easy access. |
| Field Name | Field Description |
|---|---|
| host | IP address of the proxy. |
| port | Port number of the proxy. |
| full | Full proxy address (IP:port). |

Q: How many proxies does the tool retrieve per run? A: Proxy Scraper retrieves a list of approximately 2,500 proxies per run, and typically returns 20-60 reliable proxies after testing.
Q: Can I customize the timeout and target URL? A: Yes, the tool allows you to configure the target URL and timeout settings, so you can test proxies against your specific needs.
Q: How do I save the proxies I scrape? A: You can save the proxies to a key-value store or a dataset in various formats, such as .txt or JSON, depending on your preferences.
Primary Metric: Average time to scrape and test proxies β typically under 2 minutes for 2,500 proxies. Reliability Metric: Success rate of valid proxies after testing β approximately 80-90%. Efficiency Metric: Can process 2,500 proxies in under 3 minutes with multithreading. Quality Metric: Proxies tested with a failure rate of less than 10%, ensuring high accuracy and reliability.
