Advanced tools
npm i axios-socks5-agent
wrap for socks5-http-client and socks5-https-client. I wrote this because there is no module support socks5 for axios and allow modifying agentOptions (sth likes keepAlive)
const axios = require('axios')
const SocksAgent = require('axios-socks5-agent')
const { httpAgent, httpsAgent } = SocksAgent({
agentOptions: {
keepAlive: true,
},
// socks5
host: '127.0.0.1',
port: 9050,
// socks5 auth
username: 'admin',
password: 'pass1234',
})
axios
.get('http://wtfismyip.com/json', { httpAgent, httpsAgent })
.then(res => console.log(res.data))
.catch(e => console.error(e))
new Socks5Agent(options) => { httpAgent, httpsAgent }
httpAgent vs httpsAgent: axios config
