scrapy-rotating-proxies VS scrapydweb

It was the sliding CAPTCHA but I solved it by following the instructions from the library I'm using to rotate proxies to retry with a different IP when there is a CAPTCHA https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/scrapy-rotating-proxies At the bottom if anyone is interested

Hi, I've been using the scrapy-rotating-proxies (https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/scrapy-rotating-proxies) library for scrapy and I'm getting logs in my crawl of type example: "[rotating_proxies.expire] DEBUG: Proxy is DEAD. When I check and test the proxies (I'm using webshare proxies) and urls mentioned on the logs individually they work ok, so I assume it's a problem with the library, has anyone had the same issue of similar problem? (I looked for tickets reported on github but had didn't find any refering to this.

Scrapy takes the proxy from the http_proxy/https_proxy env vars. They can include the user/password. As for pools, Scrapy itself doesn't support that, but you can use https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/scrapy-rotating-proxies or similar addons to use them.

Hello, I'm looking into trying free proxies using something like in this github (https://github.com/TeamHG-Memex/scrapy-rotating-proxies/blob/master/README.rst). However, I need to find my own list of proxy IP's to use. When I look up free proxies I find plenty of options, but I'm rather new to this topic and don't know what to use. There seems to be plenty of different types, and I'm not sure if I should/shouldn't use certain proxy IP's. Any advice on the topic would be appreciated.

It's seems like there are a lot of more recently updated forks https://github.com/my8100/scrapydweb/network

You also have this as a managment tool https://github.com/my8100/scrapydweb

There are many different Scrapyd dashboard and admin tools available, from ScrapeOps (Live Demo) to ScrapydWeb, SpiderKeeper, and more.

ScrapydWeb is the most popular open source Scrapyd admin dashboards. Boasting 2,400 Github stars, ScrapydWeb has been fully embraced by the Scrapy community.

While I am aware that we could use Scrapyd to host your spiders and actually send requests, alongside with ScrapydWeb, I personally prefer to keep my scraper deployment simple, quick, and free. If you are interested in this alternative instead, check out this post written by Harry Wang.
