Malicious npm Package Targets Solana Developers and Hijacks Funds
A malicious npm package targets Solana developers, rerouting funds in 2% of transactions to a hardcoded address.
SDK to access ZenRows API directly from Python. ZenRows handles proxies rotation, headless browsers, and CAPTCHAs for you.
Install the SDK with pip.
pip install zenrows
Start using the API by creating your API Key.
The SDK uses requests for HTTP requests. The client's response will be a requests Response
.
It also uses Retry to automatically retry failed requests (status codes 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504). Retries are not active by default; you need to specify the number of retries, as shown below. It already includes an exponential back-off retry delay between failed requests.
from zenrows import ZenRowsClient
client = ZenRowsClient("YOUR-API-KEY", retries=1)
url = "https://www.zenrows.com/"
response = client.get(url, params={
# Our algorithm allows to automatically extract content from any website
"autoparse": False,
# CSS Selectors for data extraction (i.e. {"links":"a @href"} to get href attributes from links)
"css_extractor": "",
# Enable Javascript with a headless browser (5 credits)
"js_render": False,
# Use residential proxies (10 credits)
"premium_proxy": False,
# Make your request from a given country. Requires premium_proxy
"proxy_country": "us",
# Wait for a given CSS Selector to load in the DOM. Requires js_render
"wait_for": ".content",
# Wait a fixed amount of time in milliseconds. Requires js_render
"wait": 2500,
# Block specific resources from loading, check docs for the full list. Requires js_render
"block_resources": "image,media,font",
# Change the browser's window width and height. Requires js_render
"window_width": 1920,
"window_height": 1080,
# Will automatically use either desktop or mobile user agents in the headers
"device": "desktop",
# Will return the status code returned by the website
"original_status": False,
}, headers={
"Referrer": "https://www.google.com",
"User-Agent": "MyCustomUserAgent",
})
print(response.text)
You can also pass optional params
and headers
; the list above is a reference. For more info, check out the documentation page.
Sending headers to the target URL will overwrite our defaults. Be careful when doing it and contact us if there is any problem.
The SDK also offers POST requests by calling the client.post
method. It can receive a new parameter data
that represents the data sent in, for example, a form.
from zenrows import ZenRowsClient
client = ZenRowsClient("YOUR-API-KEY", retries=1)
url = "https://httpbin.org/anything"
response = client.post(url, data={
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
})
print(response.text)
The SDK also offers PUT requests by calling the client.put
method. It can receive a new parameter data
that represents the data sent in, for example, a form.
from zenrows import ZenRowsClient
client = ZenRowsClient("YOUR-API-KEY", retries=1)
url = "https://httpbin.org/anything"
response = client.put(url, data={
"key1": "value1",
"key2": "value2",
})
print(response.text)
To limit the concurrency, it uses asyncio, which will simultaneously send a maximum of requests. The concurrency is determined by the plan you are in, so take a look at the pricing and set it accordingly. Take into account that each client instance will have its own limit, meaning that two different scripts will not share it, and 429 (Too Many Requests) errors might arise.
The main difference with the sequential snippet above is client.get_async
instead of client.get
. The rest will work exactly the same, and we will support the get
function. But the async is necessary to parallelize calls and allow async/await syntax. Remember to run the scripts with asyncio.run
or it will fail with a coroutine 'main' was never awaited
error.
We use asyncio.gather
in the example below. It will wait for all the calls to finish, and the results are stored in a responses
array. The whole list of URLs will run, even if some fail. Then each response will have the status, request, response content, and other values as usual.
from zenrows import ZenRowsClient
import asyncio
client = ZenRowsClient("YOUR-API-KEY", concurrency=5, retries=1)
async def main():
urls = [
"https://www.zenrows.com/",
# ...
]
responses = await asyncio.gather(*[client.get_async(url) for url in urls])
for response in responses:
print(response.text)
asyncio.run(main())
