WEBVTT 00:00.170 --> 00:05.000 Using a proxy inside of request is actually pretty easy. 00:05.030 --> 00:10.390 You seem to need to have a default after you use the require. 00:10.400 --> 00:18.500 So you say dot defaults and then you pass in curly braces and in here you can pass in a property that 00:18.500 --> 00:20.030 is called proxy. 00:20.330 --> 00:26.930 And in here you can paste in the IP and the port of the proxy. 00:27.230 --> 00:30.770 However, I don't have much luck with it. 00:30.770 --> 00:39.620 So by that I mean finding a proxy that you can use from the Internet because most of the free proxies 00:39.620 --> 00:45.440 that you find they are, well, not that good. 00:46.100 --> 00:47.930 So let's take this one. 00:47.930 --> 00:56.100 It has a last check of two minutes and let's take this one with a lower speed or better speed. 00:56.120 --> 00:57.410 So this one. 00:57.920 --> 00:59.150 So that's the IP. 00:59.690 --> 01:01.140 And then let's. 01:02.080 --> 01:03.820 Take that and then the port. 01:03.820 --> 01:09.550 3128 and let's see if it can actually get the file here. 01:11.440 --> 01:16.210 So here we see a tunneling circuit could not be established. 01:16.750 --> 01:19.200 Host Unreachable error. 01:19.210 --> 01:26.490 That's sort of what the kind of error that I'm always getting when I'm trying to use a proxy in NodeJS 01:26.500 --> 01:29.710 request with the free proxies. 01:29.980 --> 01:37.810 Now there's also paid services, so you can buy proxy list, but I haven't used that myself. 01:39.070 --> 01:43.780 And so you can try that if you have to use proxies for some reason. 01:44.200 --> 01:52.030 However, um, I'm going to present you with better alternatives, I hope then using a proxy. 01:52.510 --> 01:58.840 And basically if you're getting blocked from a site, it means that you have done something that makes 01:58.840 --> 01:59.920 them want to block you. 01:59.950 --> 02:07.360 You've been scraping too aggressively perhaps, and you need to tone it down a bit and not scrape so 02:07.360 --> 02:11.390 fast or so, so much in so little time. 02:11.390 --> 02:11.570 Um.
