How to rotate Selenium webrowser IP address
To gather and use different proxies a robust solution would be to make proxied requests to the website using the newly active proxies which gets listed within the Free Proxy List using the following solution:
-
Code Block:
from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC from selenium.common.exceptions import TimeoutException options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("start-maximized") options.add_experimental_option("excludeSwitches", ["enable-automation"]) options.add_experimental_option('useAutomationExtension', False) driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe') driver.get("https://sslproxies.org/") driver.execute_script("return arguments[0].scrollIntoView(true);", WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='table table-striped table-bordered dataTable']//th[contains(., 'IP Address')]")))) ips = [my_elem.get_attribute("innerHTML") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='table table-striped table-bordered dataTable']//tbody//tr[@role='row']/td[position() = 1]")))] ports = [my_elem.get_attribute("innerHTML") for my_elem in WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_all_elements_located((By.XPATH, "//table[@class='table table-striped table-bordered dataTable']//tbody//tr[@role='row']/td[position() = 2]")))] driver.quit() proxies = [] for i in range(0, len(ips)): proxies.append(ips[i]+':'+ports[i]) print(proxies) for i in range(0, len(proxies)): try: print("Proxy selected: {}".format(proxies[i])) options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument('--proxy-server={}'.format(proxies[i])) driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options, executable_path=r'C:\WebDrivers\chromedriver.exe') driver.get("https://www.whatismyip.com/proxy-check/?iref=home") if "Proxy Type" in WebDriverWait(driver, 5).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "p.card-text"))): break except Exception: driver.quit() print("Proxy Invoked")

The site 'https://sslproxies.org/' seems got updated. Here is an updated code -
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
import chromedriver_autoinstaller # pip install chromedriver-autoinstaller
chromedriver_autoinstaller.install() # To update your chromedriver automatically
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# Get free proxies for rotating
def get_free_proxies(driver):
driver.get('https://sslproxies.org')
table = driver.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'table')
thead = table.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'thead').find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'th')
tbody = table.find_element(By.TAG_NAME, 'tbody').find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'tr')
headers = []
for th in thead:
headers.append(th.text.strip())
proxies = []
for tr in tbody:
proxy_data = {}
tds = tr.find_elements(By.TAG_NAME, 'td')
for i in range(len(headers)):
proxy_data[headers[i]] = tds[i].text.strip()
proxies.append(proxy_data)
return proxies
free_proxies = get_free_proxies(driver)
print(free_proxies)
You'll get an output in python dictionary like this -
