CVE disclosures hit a record 48,185 in 2025, driven largely by vulnerabilities in third-party WordPress plugins.
actproxy
Advanced tools
Python package providing actproxy.com API access and proxy rotation methods for requests (synchronous) and aiohttp (asyncio). Can also be used independently. Supports socks5, http/https, and ipv4/ipv6 as per actproxy's services.
import actproxy
from aiohttp import ClientSession
async def main():
actproxy_api_keys = [
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
]
# Initialize API. Also returns your proxies.
await actproxy.aioinit(actproxy_api_keys)
# Use a new AIOHTTP connector which rotates & uses the next proxy.
async with ClientSession(connector=actproxy.aiohttp_rotate()) as session:
url = "http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees"
async with session.get(url) as resp:
if resp.status == 200:
resp_json = await resp.json()
print(resp_json)
import actproxy
import requests
actproxy_api_keys = [
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
]
# Initialize API. Also returns your proxies.
actproxy.init(actproxy_api_keys)
url = "http://dummy.restapiexample.com/api/v1/employees"
resp = requests.get(url, proxies=actproxy.rotate())
if resp.status_code == 200:
resp_json = resp.json()
print(resp_json)
actproxy.aioinit(api_keys: List = None, output_format: DumpFormat = 'json', get_userpass: Boolean = True) -> Union[FlatList, str, None]
Fetches your proxies from ActProxy & returns them. Must be run before the other aiohttp functions.
actproxy.init(api_keys: List[str], output_format: DumpFormat = 'json', get_userpass: Any = True) -> Union[FlatList, str, None]
Fetches your proxies from ActProxy & returns them. Must be run before the other synchronous functions.
actproxy.aiohttp_rotate(protocol: ProxyProto/str, return_proxy: Boolean = False) -> Union[ProxyConnector, Tuple[Data, ProxyConnector]]
Returns an aiohttp connector which uses the next proxy from your list.
actproxy.async_rotate_fetch(url: str, protocol: ProxyProto/str = 'socks5', return_proxy: Boolean = False) -> Data
Rotate proxies and perform a GET request. Returns a Data object of response.status_code, response.text, and
response.headers.
actproxy.rotate(protocol: ProxyProto = 'socks5') -> Data
Returns the next proxy from your list. Return variable is suitable for use with requests[socks].
actproxy.random_proxy(protocol: ProxyProto = 'socks5') -> Data
Returns a random proxy from your list. Return variable is suitable for use with requests[socks].
actproxy.aiohttp_random(protocol: ProxyProto = 'socks5', return_proxy: Boolean = False) -> Union[ProxyConnector, Tuple[Data, ProxyConnector]]
Returns an aiohttp connector which uses uses a random proxy from your list.
actproxy.one_hot_proxy() -> Data
Similar to rotate() but returns a single proxy dict/object for use in places other than aiohttp or requests.
