Proxy Scraper

Library for scraping free proxies lists written in PHP

Setup

Proxy-scraper library is built on top of HTTPlug and requires a compatible HTTP client. Available clients are listed on Packagist: https://packagist.org/providers/php-http/client-implementation. To use the library you have to install any of them, e.g.:

composer require php-http/guzzle6-adapter

Then install proxy-scraper library itself:

composer require vantoozz/proxy-scraper

Usage

Single scraper

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\HttpClient\GuzzleHttpClient;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Scrapers;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$httpClient = new GuzzleHttpClient(new GuzzleClient([
    'connect_timeout' => 2,
    'timeout' => 3,
]));
$scraper = new Scrapers\FoxToolsScraper($httpClient);

foreach ($scraper->get() as $proxy) {
    echo (string)$proxy . "\n";
}

Composite scraper

You can easily get data from many scrapers at once:

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

use GuzzleHttp\Client as GuzzleClient;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\HttpClient\GuzzleHttpClient;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Scrapers;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$httpClient = new GuzzleHttpClient(new GuzzleClient([
    'connect_timeout' => 3,
    'timeout' => 4,
]));

$compositeScraper = new Scrapers\CompositeScraper;

$compositeScraper->addScraper(new Scrapers\FreeProxyListScraper($httpClient));
$compositeScraper->addScraper(new Scrapers\MultiproxyScraper($httpClient));
$compositeScraper->addScraper(new Scrapers\SocksProxyScraper($httpClient));
$compositeScraper->addScraper(new Scrapers\SpysMeScraper($httpClient));

foreach ($compositeScraper->get() as $proxy) {
    echo (string)$proxy . "\n";
}

Error handling

Sometimes things go wrong. This example shows how to handle errors while getting data from many scrapers:

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Exceptions\ScraperException;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Ipv4;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Port;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Proxy;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Scrapers;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$compositeScraper = new Scrapers\CompositeScraper;

// Set exception handler
$compositeScraper->handleScraperExceptionWith(function (ScraperException $e) {
    echo 'An error occurs: ' . $e->getMessage() . "\n";
});

// Throws an exception
$compositeScraper->addScraper(new class implements Scrapers\ScraperInterface
{
    public function get(): \Generator
    {
        throw new ScraperException('some error');
    }
});

// No exceptions
$compositeScraper->addScraper(new class implements Scrapers\ScraperInterface
{
    public function get(): \Generator
    {
        yield new Proxy(new Ipv4('192.168.0.1'), new Port(8888));
    }
});

//Run scraper
foreach ($compositeScraper->get() as $proxy) {
    echo (string)$proxy . "\n";
}

Will output

An error occurs: some error
192.168.0.1:8888

Validating proxies

Validation steps may be added:

<?php declare(strict_types = 1);

use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Exceptions\ValidationException;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Ipv4;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Port;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Proxy;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Scrapers;
use Vantoozz\ProxyScraper\Validators;

require_once __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

$scraper = new class implements Scrapers\ScraperInterface
{
    public function get(): \Generator
    {
        yield new Proxy(new Ipv4('104.202.117.106'), new Port(1234));
        yield new Proxy(new Ipv4('192.168.0.1'), new Port(8888));
    }
};

$validator = new Validators\ValidatorPipeline;
$validator->addStep(new Validators\Ipv4RangeValidator);

foreach ($scraper->get() as $proxy) {
    try {
        $validator->validate($proxy);
        echo '[OK] ' . (string)$proxy . "\n";
    } catch (ValidationException $e) {
        echo '[Error] ' . $e->getMessage() . ': ' . (string)$proxy . "\n";
    }
}

Will output

[OK] 104.202.117.106:1234
[Error] IPv4 is in private range: 192.168.0.1:8888

Note. Examples use Guzzle as HTTP client.
