Simple proxy scraper by NeutronX (yaxeldragon)
When downloading this module/script you accept that
The user/company should use it under his/her/their own responsability.
Once you input the URLs you want to look in, It will send a request, check if each proxy is an actual proxy using regex. Then It will give you access to all proxies in an array from an async funcion.
Regex.| Area | Quick Description |

| Get Started | How to start using nex-scraper |
| How to Scrape | How to get the Proxies. |
| Configuration | Customize nex-scraper. |
| How to Check | Check your proxies nex-scraper. |
| Versions | See what's new. |
To install nex-scraper in your project you need to input the following in your console:
npm install nex-scraper
Once nex-scraper is installed you can import it in your project by using the following methods:
const proxy = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new proxy([
'(input URL here)',
'(another URL here...)'
]);
// add more later on using
proxies.addURL([
'(input URL here)',
'(another URL here...)'
])
You can do as many objects as you want with the URLs you want.
your project by using the following methods:
const proxy = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new proxy([
'http://www.live-socks.net/2020/05/28-05-20-socks-5-servers.html',
// ^^^^^^^ This Is HTML (It will get filtered)
'https://api.proxyscrape.com/?request=getproxies&proxytype=socks5'
// ^^^^^^^ This Is a normal API (RAW text)
]);
proxies.scrape().then(proxies => {
// Here you can access the Proxies
});
Here you can decide weather you remove duplicates or not, if you want to it to filter something in specific, etc...
// All configurations:
{
removeDuplicates: true, // bool
filter: 'XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX', // string
forEach: () => {} // function
}
const proxy = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new proxy([
'URLs...'
]);
proxies.setConfig({
removeDuplicates: true, // Default: true
});
This will NOT remove ANY duplicates, so you may get a same proxy more than one time.
const proxy = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new proxy([
'URLs...'
]);
proxies.setConfig({
filter: "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX", // Default: true
});
PD: The default filter has a longer range than anything customizable.
This will ONLY return proxies that looks like XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX. For example: XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX to look like => 123.456.789.123:4567.
// -------------------------------------
proxies.setConfig({
filter: "XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX",
// Look: "123.456.789.123:4567"
});
// -------------------------------------
proxies.setConfig({
filter: "XX.XXX.XXX.XX:XXXX",
// Look: "12.345.678.91:2345"
});
// -------------------------------------
const proxy = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new proxy([
'URLs...'
]);
proxies.setConfig({
foreach: (proxy) => {
console.log(`Gotten ${proxy}`);
}
});
It will run the gotten callback for each proxy it gets.
This area of this module will allow you to test the proxies you have just scraped, and supports SOCKS, and HTTPs.
const nex = require('nex-scraper');
const proxies = new nex([
'URLs...'
]);
const checker = new nex.checker();
#constructor: new <checker_instance>(optional_URL)Inside here goes a WebSocket URL to test on. And this is optional becuase it all ready includes an URL.
#setTimeout: <checker_object>.setTimeout(time)Sets a limit on how much time each proxy spends checking.
#setHeaders: <checker_object>.setHeaders(headers)Sets headers to the WebSockets connections.
#checkOne: <checker_object>.checkOne(type, proxy)Checks one proxy with a type agent (http, or socks)
#checkMany: <checker_object>.checkMany(type, proxies_array)Checks multiple proxy with a type agent (http, or socks)
