# ActiveProxy

![Alt text](https://travis-ci.com/sebyx07/active_proxy.svg?branch=master)
[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/active_proxy.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/active_proxy)

### Easy to use ruby proxy fetcher with support for multiple http clients. Has auto retry๐Ÿš€, fetch ๐Ÿค–user agent

```ruby
gem 'active_proxy'
```

### Examples

#### HTTParty

```ruby
cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new(size: 10.megabytes)

ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache) do |proxy| # for rails: ActiveProxy.call("ipify", Rails.cache) do |proxy|

options = proxy.format_proxy_httparty
options[:timeout] = 2
options[:headers] = {
"Accept" => "application/json",
"User-Agent" => proxy.user_agent
}

result = HTTParty.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", options).body
p JSON.parse(result)

end
```

#### Http.rb

```ruby
cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new(size: 10.megabytes)

ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache) do |proxy| # for rails: ActiveProxy.call("ipify", Rails.cache) do |proxy|

proxy_arguments = proxy.format_proxy_http
headers = {
"Accept" => "application/json",
"User-Agent" => proxy.user_agent
}

result = HTTP.via(*proxy_arguments)
.headers(headers)
.timeout(write: 2, connect: 1, read: 1)
.get("https://api.ipify.org?format=json")
.body

p JSON.parse(result)

end
```

#### Typhoeus

```ruby
cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new(size: 10.megabytes)

ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache) do |proxy| # for rails: ActiveProxy.call("ipify", Rails.cache) do |proxy|

options = proxy.format_proxy_typhoeus
options[:timeout] = 2
options[:followlocation] = true
options[:headers] = {
"Accept" => "application/json",
"User-Agent" => proxy.user_agent
}
options[:method] = :get

result = Typhoeus::Request.new("https://api.ipify.org?format=json", options).run.body

p JSON.parse(result)

end
```

#### custom client

```ruby
cache = ActiveSupport::Cache::MemoryStore.new(size: 10.megabytes)

ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache) do |proxy| # for rails: ActiveProxy.call("ipify", Rails.cache) do |proxy|

options = proxy.current_proxy
# then you access the options[:address] and options[:port]
end
```

### Custom options

#### User agent

When calling `.user_agent` you can pass params, check https://github.com/asconix/user-agent-randomizer

#### Limit retries

Current limit is 10.

Because proxies are unreliable, set a higher number

```ruby
ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache, {max_retries: 100}) do

end
```

#### Proxy list

Current configuration is `{ filters: { maxtime: "200" } }`

You can check what configuration you can pass https://github.com/nbulaj/proxy_fetcher

```ruby
ActiveProxy.call("ipify", cache, {proxy_manager_options: { filters: { maxtime: "100" } }}) do

end
```
