Proxy Setup

The high-quality operation of A-Parser in most cases relies on working with proxies. Therefore, A-Parser has first-class support for proxies of various types and configurations, and also supports simultaneous work with several different proxy sources, both within a single task and separated by type across different tasks.

A-Parser's main proxy handling features:

  • Simultaneous support for HTTP, SOCKS4 and SOCKS5 proxies
  • Multithreaded proxy checking
  • Loading proxies from a local file
  • Multithreaded loading from external sources
  • Anonymity checking
  • Support for login\password authorization for both HTTP and SOCKS5 proxies, as well as support for different authorization details in the format login:password@ip:port
  • Ability to set arbitrary regular expressions for the proxy IP address and port when scraping from external sources
  • Ability to export checked proxies to a file
  • Ability to use multiple proxy sources in one task
  • Support for domain proxies in domain:port and login:pass@domain:port formats

Control​

Proxy scrapers are managed in the Proxy Scrapers, tab, where you can add, delete, and enable/disable proxy scrapers. This tab also displays the operational statistics for each proxy scraper, a graph of live proxies, and statistics on source processing.

Configuring proxies from the Members Area​

Proxy Unlimited (standard proxies)​

To use Unlimited proxies from A-Parser, you need to go to the Members Area, the Proxies tab, click the Use IP button, and the Save button.

IP access to the proxy in Members Area

Next, add a proxy scraper. It is enough to disable proxy checking (check the box next to the option Do not check proxies), you can leave the remaining settings as default. Save the proxy scraper: for existing ones, press the button Save, for new ones - Add new.

No check proxies - enable

Return to the Proxy Scraper, menu, check if the newly created scraper is enabled, if not, enable it.

Enable Proxy Checker

Open the proxy scraper directory specified in the Working directory.

Working path

We copy 1 link to the proxy list from the Members Area and specify it in sites.txt of the created proxy scraper.

  • http://work.a-poster.info/prx/perm_socks.txt - Each port has its own proxy with its own exit IP address. The proxy is fixed to its port as long as it is online. This list is updated every 30 seconds and always contains up-to-date and live proxies. Recommended for most tasks.
  • http://work.a-poster.info/prx/rand_socks.txt - The exit IP address changes for each connection to the proxy. The IP address is randomly selected from all live proxies. This list is fixed and there is no need to update it.
Proxy lists from Members Area

Return to A-Parser, to the Proxy Scraper menu for the created proxy scraper. The "Total alive" field of this proxy scraper should be greater than 0 — this means the proxies are configured correctly.

Proxy Premium​

To use Premium proxies from A-Parser, you need to go to the Members Area, the Premium Proxies tab, and generate a proxy link with the necessary parameters.

Generate link to the proxy in Members Area

Next, add a proxy scraper. You need to disable proxy checking (check the box next to the option Do not check proxies), in the field Proxy Type select SOCKS5 and enable proxy authorization (check the box next to the option Use proxy authorization). You can leave the remaining settings as default. Save the proxy scraper: for existing ones, press the button Save, for new ones - Add new.

No check proxies - enable, Proxies typ - SOCKS5Use proxy authorization - enable

Return to the Proxy Scraper. menu. Check if the newly created scraper is enabled; if not, enable it. After that, open the proxy scraper directory specified in the Working directory.

Enable Proxy Checker, Working path

Paste the proxy link generated in the Members Area into the sites.txt file of the created proxy scraper and save it.

Return to A-Parser, to the Proxy Scraper menu for the created proxy scraper. The "Total alive" field of this proxy scraper should be greater than 0 — this means the proxies are configured correctly.

Total alive

Format​

To specify the desired proxy format, you need to add parameters in the correct sequence to the proxy link (arbitrary format). Example format login:password:ip:port - &format=login:password:host:port, the proxy link will look like this https://proxifyr.com/proxyList?login=12345&password=12345&type=mix&rotation=10&format=login:password:host:port
