[help] Don't know how to use proxy

[matze19999]

Hey guys,

I read the documentation, but I haven't found a tutorial on how to use a proxy... Can someone please help me or write some short lines on how to get spotipy to use a proxy?

Thank you!!

Hey,

proxies that you pass to spotipy will be passed directly to request.Session(), see here:

https://github.com/plamere/spotipy/blob/13109c1613594e098f5ecddc64edbf465306052b/spotipy/client.py#L150

See if structuring your proxies as showed in the following references helps:

• https://2.python-requests.org/en/master/user/advanced/#id1
• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30837839/how-can-i-set-a-single-proxy-for-a-requests-session-object
• https://blog.scrapinghub.com/python-requests-proxy

It is likely going to look like:

proxies = {
    “http”: “http://10.10.10.10:8000”,
    “https”: “http://10.10.10.10:8000”
}
spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=spotipy.SpotifyOAuth(),
                proxies=proxies)

Please let us know how it goes and we can then improve the docs

Thanks, this worked like a charm!

Maybe you can add this code example to the folder examples on GitHub or add a code snipped on the readthedocs page :)
