Adding Proxy to Python Library

[felixguerrero12]

How do I add proxy configuration to the ipinfo library? I do see this uses urllib3 which could be integrated using the following variable:
proxy = urllib3.ProxyManager('http://localhost:3128/')

Is there a way to do it in ipinfo without having to manually change the code?

Yeah it's not a feature we added to the SDKs directly yet. You could follow e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8287628/proxies-with-python-requests-module though and use environment variables to force the requests library into using it behind the scenes.

Let me know if that doesn't work and we'll try to look into it.

I was able to get this working by doing the following:

create proxy variable:
proxy_vars = {
'http': 'http://un:pw@proxy.com:8080'
'http': 'http://un:pw@proxy.com:8080'
}

Inside the handler:
handler = ipinfo.getHandler(api_token, request_options={'proxies':proxy_vars, 'verify': False})

ip_addr = '1.1.1.1'
details = handler.getDetails(ip_addr)
