I have a python program that gathers some data from crypto exchanges but the problem is exchanges don’t allow too many requests from the same IP.
Can i use my droplets as https proxies and how?

×Hey there,
What I thought of, when seeing “https proxies”, is a tool named ‘proxychains’. However, I browsed a little and noticed a lot of people are complaining proxychains is not working with Python scripts. I saw a solution on the web, you might be interested in:
Question
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}
requests.get('http://example.org', proxies=proxies)
Maybe you can try this solution and let me know if it worked? I recommend checking this tutorial of rotating proxies as well: https://www.scrapehero.com/how-to-rotate-proxies-and-ip-addresses-using-python-3/
Regards,
Thanks for responding. The problem is not using proxies inside of my python code but turning the droplet into a proxy server so i could even use it to begin with.
But I bought some proxies so its all fine now.
