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")
    
  • Console Output:

    ['190.7.158.58:39871', '175.139.179.65:54980', '186.225.45.146:45672', '185.41.99.100:41258', '43.230.157.153:52986', '182.23.32.66:30898', '36.37.160.253:31450', '93.170.15.214:56305', '36.67.223.67:43628', '78.26.172.44:52490', '36.83.135.183:3128', '34.74.180.144:3128', '206.189.122.177:3128', '103.194.192.42:55546', '70.102.86.204:8080', '117.254.216.97:23500', '171.100.221.137:8080', '125.166.176.153:8080', '185.146.112.24:8080', '35.237.104.97:3128']

    Proxy selected: 175.139.179.65:54980

    Proxy selected: 185.41.99.100:41258
    

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 -
