🌐 Proxifly Works in Node AND browser environments
Yes, this module works in both Node and browser environments, including compatibility with Webpack and Browserify!
🦄 Features
- Getting proxy lists
- An API to get HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS proxies
- Easily filter by country, speed, and anonymity level
- Request multiple proxies at a time
- Check your public IP
- Blazingly fast public IP check
- Use this to confirm you are connected through the proxy!
- Use option
extended=true
to see country, city, zip code, and latitude/longitude for the IP as well.
🔑 Getting an API key
You can use so much of proxifly
for free, but if you want to do some advanced stuff, you'll need an API key. You can get one by signing up for a Proxifly account.
📦 Install Proxifly
Option 1: Install via npm
Install with npm if you plan to use proxifly
in a Node project or in the browser.
npm install proxifly
If you plan to use proxifly
in a browser environment, you will probably need to use Webpack, Browserify, or a similar service to compile it.
const proxifly = new (require('proxifly'))({
// Not required, but having one removes limits (get your key at https://proxifly.dev).
apiKey: 'api_test_key'
});
Option 2: Install via CDN
Install with CDN if you plan to use Proxifly only in a browser environment.
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/proxifly@latest/dist/index.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var proxifly = new Proxifly({
// Not required, but having one removes limits (get your key at https://proxifly.dev).
apiKey: 'api_test_key'
});
</script>
Option 3: Use without installation
You can use proxifly
in a variety of ways that require no installation, such as curl
in terminal/shell. See the Use without installation section below.
⚡️ Using Proxifly
After you have followed the install step, you can start using proxifly
to get proxy lists and check your public IP!
getProxy()
Retrieves a fully filterable list of proxies in either json
or plain text
.
var options = {
protocol: 'http', // http | socks4 | socks5
anonymity: 'elite', // transparent | anonymous | elite
country: 'US', // https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm
https: true, // true | false
speed: 10000, // 0 - 60000
format: 'json', // json | text
quantity: 1, // 1 - 20
};
proxifly.getProxy(options)
.then(proxy => {
console.log('getProxy:', proxy);
// If you specify a quantity greater than 1, the response will be an array!
// In this case, you can access by calling response[0].ipPort, response[1].ipPort, etc...
})
.catch(e => {
console.error(e);
})
options
The options for getProxy(options)
are as follows.
- protocol
string
,array
(optional): Filter by the protocol- Values:
http
,socks4
,socks5
- Default:
http
- Values:
- anonymity
string
,array
(optional): Filter by anonymity level.- Values:
transparent
,anonymous
,elite
(elite
is the most anonymous) - Default:
null
(no filter, any anonymity)
- Values:
- country
string
,array
(optional): Filter by country.- Values:
US
,CA
,RU
... (see full list at https://www.nationsonline.org/oneworld/country_code_list.htm) - Default:
null
(no filter, any country)
- Values:
- https
boolean
(optional): Filter by https/SSL.- Values:
true
,false
- Default:
null
(no filter, any level of https)
- Values:
- speed
number
(optional): Filter by speed, value is in milliseconds taken to connect.- Values:
0
-60000
- Default:
null
(no filter, any speed) - Note: Specifying a very low number (less than ~400) will return significantly fewer results
- Values:
- format
string
(optional): The response type.- Values:
json
,text
- Default:
json
- Values:
- quantity
number
(optional): The number of proxies to be returned. Any number greater than1
will be returned in anarray
.- Values:
1
-20
- Default:
1
- Note: Without an API key, you cannot return more than
1
result.
- Values:
For most options like protocol
, anonymity
, and country
, you can provide an array
where each element in the array will act as OR
logic.
For example:
var options = {
protocol: ['http', 'socks4'],
anonymity: ['anonymous', 'elite'],
country: ['US', 'GB', 'RU'],
}
This filter will call the API for any proxies that are either of protocol (http
OR socks4
) AND of anonymity (anonymous
OR elite
) AND from (US
OR GB
OR RU
)!
Example output
Here is a sample response for the .getProxy()
method. This is the output you will see when extended=true
:
{
proxy: 'socks4://103.99.110.222:5678',
protocol: 'socks4',
ip: '103.99.110.222',
port: 5678,
https: false,
anonymity: 'transparent',
score: 1,
geolocation: { country: 'IN', city: 'Unknown' }
}
getPublicIp()
Get your public IP with a simple api call.
var options = {
mode: 'IPv4', // IPv4 | IPv6
format: 'json', // json | text
};
proxifly.getPublicIp(options)
.then(proxy => {
console.log('getPublicIp:', response);
console.log('My IP is:', response.ip);
console.log('My country is:', response.country);
})
.catch(e => {
console.error(e);
})
