httpx-socks

The httpx-socks package provides proxy transports for httpx client. SOCKS4(a), SOCKS5(h), HTTP (tunneling) proxy supported. It uses python-socks for core proxy functionality.

Requirements

• Python >= 3.6
• httpx>=0.21.0
• python-socks>=2.0.0
• async-timeout>=3.0.1 (optional)
• trio>=0.16.0 (optional)

Installation

only sync proxy support:

pip install httpx-socks

to include optional asyncio support (it requires async-timeout):

pip install httpx-socks[asyncio]

to include optional trio support:

pip install httpx-socks[trio]

Usage

sync transport

import httpx
from httpx_socks import SyncProxyTransport

def fetch(url):
    transport = SyncProxyTransport.from_url('socks5://user:[email protected]:1080')
    with httpx.Client(transport=transport) as client:
        res = client.get(url)
        return res.text

async transport (asyncio, trio)

import httpx
from httpx_socks import AsyncProxyTransport

async def fetch(url):
    transport = AsyncProxyTransport.from_url('socks5://user:[email protected]:1080')
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport) as client:
        res = await client.get(url)
        return res.text

secure proxy connections (aka "HTTPS proxies", experimental feature, both sync and async support)

import ssl
import httpx
from httpx_socks import AsyncProxyTransport

async def fetch(url):
    proxy_ssl = ssl.SSLContext(ssl.PROTOCOL_TLS)
    proxy_ssl.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_REQUIRED
    proxy_ssl.load_verify_locations(...)
    
    transport = AsyncProxyTransport.from_url('http://user:[email protected]:8080', proxy_ssl=proxy_ssl)
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(transport=transport) as client:
        res = await client.get(url)
        return res.text
