Python requests proxy setup

The requests library takes a proxies dict and routes every call through it. Drop in your gateway URL and you are scraping from residential IPs the target trusts — no browser, no SDK. Add targeting in the username to pick a country or pin an IP.

Python (requests) proxy example

python
import requests

proxy = "http://PROXY_USER:PROXY_PASS@gw.proxmint.com:823"
proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}

r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", proxies=proxies, timeout=30)
print(r.json())  # a fresh residential IP each call

# Target a country: put the targeting in the username
us = "http://PROXY_USER__cr.us:PROXY_PASS@gw.proxmint.com:823"
r = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies={"http": us, "https": us}, timeout=30)
print(r.text)

Tips & gotchas

  • Set a timeout — residential exits are real connections and occasionally slow; retry on failure.
  • Pin one IP across a login flow with a sticky session: PROXY_USER__sessid.abc123;sessttl.30.
FAQ

Python (requests), answered

How do I rotate IPs with Python requests?

Rotation is automatic on the rotating port — every request through the gateway gets a new residential IP. You do not manage an IP list; just reuse the same proxies dict.

How do I keep the same IP across several requests?

Add a sticky session id to the username: PROXY_USER__sessid.abc123;sessttl.30 keeps the same exit IP for up to 30 minutes, which is ideal for multi-step flows behind a login.
