Usage example

const SocksScraper = require('socks-scraper');

// Initialize the scraper with a list of raw sites

])

// Add one more site to the list of sites on which free proxies are placed
socksScraper.addSites(["https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monosans/proxy-list/main/proxies/socks4.txt"])

// Timeout for checking the proxy in ms
const timeout = 6000

console.log('Updating unchecked proxies...');
// Gets proxies from all sites, VERY IMPORTANT: it must be called before the getWorkedSocksProxies()
await socksScraper.updateUncheckedProxies()

console.log(`Done updating unchecked proxies! (${socksScraper.unCheckedProxies.size})`);

// Get a list of proxies from all sites, check if they work and return the best ones
const wsp4 = await socksScraper.getWorkedSocksProxies('socks4', timeout)

// Sort the list by latency and take the fastest proxy
const bestWSP4 = SocksScraper.filterByLatency(wsp4)[0]

console.log(`The best socks4 proxy is ${bestWSP4.host}:${bestWSP4.port} with latency ${bestWSP4.latency}ms (${wsp4.length})`)

const wsp5 = await socksScraper.getWorkedSocksProxies('socks5', timeout)
const bestWSP5 = SocksScraper.filterByLatency(wsp5)[0]

console.log(`The best socks5 proxy is ${bestWSP5.host}:${bestWSP5.port} with latency ${bestWSP5.latency}ms (${wsp5.length})`)

/* only if you have VERY good internet...

//  Check my socks5 proxy to see if it works at all

const isAlive = Boolean(mySocks4Proxy)

console.log(`My socks4 proxy is ${isAlive ? 'alive' : 'dead'}`)
