How to Rotate Proxies with Python

Join the Discord to discuss all things Python and Web with our growing community! discord.gg/C4J2uckpbR

In this video I go through how to implement rotating proxies using requests with Python. We look at scraping some free proxies and writing a script to see if they work. Although free proxies aren't any use for actual web scraping projects the principles are the same.
