# Flask Proxy IP Web Service

This project is a Flask-based web service that acts as a proxy for HTTP requests. It forwards requests to a target URL specified in the `X-Target-URL` header and returns the response back to the client. This can be useful for changing proxies when making requests with Python.

## Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following before setting up the project:

- Python 3.9+

- Docker (if you choose to run the application in a Docker container)

## Installation

### Local Setup

1. **Clone the repository:**

    ```bash

    git clone https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git

    cd your-repo-name

    ```

2. **Create a virtual environment and activate it:**

    ```bash

    python -m venv venv

    source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use `venv\Scripts\activate`

    ```

3. **Install the required Python packages:**

    ```bash

    pip install -r requirements.txt

    ```

4. **Run the Flask application:**

    ```bash

    python app.py

    ```

### Docker Setup

1. **Build the Docker image:**

    ```bash

    docker build -t flask-proxy-ip .

    ```

2. **Run the Docker container:**

    ```bash

    docker run -p 8080:8080 flask-proxy-ip

    ```

The application should now be running and accessible at `http://localhost:8080`.

## Usage

To use the proxy service, make an HTTP request to the Flask server with the `X-Target-URL` header set to the URL you want to proxy.

### Example with `curl`

```bash

curl -X GET http://localhost:8080 -H "X-Target-URL: https://httpbin.org/get"

```

Example with Python requests

```bash

import requests

response = requests.get(

    'http://localhost:8080',

    headers={'X-Target-URL': 'https://httpbin.org/get'}

)

print(response.text)

```
