Setting up a proxy for python notebook

[pjv]

Hi all,

I am running a python notebook with a web scraper. I want to setup a proxy server that I can use to avoid any IP bans when scraping. Can someone recommend a way to setup a proxy server that can be used from HTTP requests send from a Databricks notebook? Thank you.

Kind regards,

Pim

Hi @pjv, For web scraping, you can integrate an HTTP proxy directly into your Python code using the requests library.

Feel free to provide additional details or ask for further assistance if needed! 😊

Hi Kaniz,

Thanks for the reply. I know how to include HTTP proxies in my python code and redirect the requests. However, I wondered if Databricks has any functionality to setup the proxies?

Thank you
