Proxies for AI agents

# Give a LangChain agent a residential IP for its web requests.
import os

# Most Python HTTP clients (requests, httpx) honour these env vars, so
# routing the whole agent process is one block at startup.
proxy = "http://PROXY_USER:PROXY_PASS@gw.proxmint.com:823"  # add __cr.us for a country
os.environ["HTTP_PROXY"] = proxy
os.environ["HTTPS_PROXY"] = proxy

from langchain_community.utilities import TextRequestsWrapper

web = TextRequestsWrapper(headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
html = web.get("https://example.com")
print(html[:200])  # fetched from a residential IP the target trusts

import httpx
from langchain_community.utilities import TextRequestsWrapper

# Scope the proxy to just the agent's browsing client instead of the process.
proxy = "http://PROXY_USER:PROXY_PASS@gw.proxmint.com:823"
client = httpx.Client(proxy=proxy, timeout=30)

web = TextRequestsWrapper(headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"})
# Point the wrapper's session at the proxied client, or pass it to your custom tool.
print(web.get("https://api.ipify.org"))  # the agent's outbound IP
