Custom httpx proxy and user_agent for Scraper #220

Open cr4kn4x opened 4 months ago

cr4kn4x commented 4 months ago

Added support for optional usage of proxies and custom user-agents that can be passed in the construction of the Scraper Class. If the options are not provided, the Scraper class will use the random user agent and no proxy.

@cr4kn4x Hi, why close?

@cr4kn4x Hi, why close?

I can reopen again, but I think it won't get merged in near future. Seems like the maintainer is currently inactive

zxj0302 commented 4 months ago

@cr4kn4x Yes the maintainer seems not so active recently. However, your pr is great :heart: and I am very appreciated for your work since the proxy is a must if we don't have large number of accounts and want to scrape in bulk.

Thanks again and I think this proxy function will help lots of users(pls don't get upset/blue just because someone's remark, I back you up :heart: ). :+1:

unfortunately proxies will not help in this case, as most of Twitter's rate limits are not determined by IP

i appreciate the effort on this PR, it's a great start. however, there are quite a few things to take into consideration. for example, users who want to access the onion site cannot do so, as httpx doesn't support socks5h. i'll come up with a list of requirements.
