Ai Proxy Server

To check the quality of a proxy server, you can use one of the proxy checkers. There are a lot of them on the Internet. For example, hidemy.name. On the page of the checker you need to specify the IP-address and port of the required proxy server.

Web scraping to collect email addresses from web pages raises ethical and legal considerations. It's important to respect privacy and adhere to the terms of service of the websites you are scraping. Additionally, harvesting email addresses for unsolicited communication may violate anti-spam regulations.

If you have a legitimate use case, here's a basic example in Python using the requests library and regular expressions to extract email addresses. Note that this is a simplistic example and may not cover all email address variations:

import re
import requests

def extract_emails_from_text(text):
    email_pattern = r'\b[A-Za-z0-9._%+-]+@[A-Za-z0-9.-]+\.[A-Z|a-z]{2,}\b'
    return re.findall(email_pattern, text)

def scrape_emails_from_url(url):
    response = requests.get(url)
    if response.status_code == 200:
        page_content = response.text
        emails = extract_emails_from_text(page_content)
        return emails
    else:
        print(f"Failed to fetch content from {url}. Status code: {response.status_code}")
        return []

# Example usage
url_to_scrape = 'https://example.com'
emails_found = scrape_emails_from_url(url_to_scrape)

if emails_found:
    print("Email addresses found:")
    for email in emails_found:
        print(email)
else:
    print("No email addresses found.")

Keep in mind the following:

1. Ethics and Legality:

   • Ensure that your scraping activities are ethical and comply with the laws and terms of service of the websites you are scraping.

2. Robots.txt:

   • Check the website's robots.txt file to understand if scraping is allowed or restricted.

3. Consent:

   • Respect user privacy and obtain consent if necessary.

4. Anti-Spam Regulations:

   • Be aware of and comply with anti-spam regulations in your region.

5. Variability of Email Formats:

   • Email address formats can vary, and the regular expression provided is a basic example. You may need to adjust it based on the actual formats you encounter.

6. Use of APIs:

   • If available, consider using official APIs provided by websites to access data rather than scraping.

If PyCharm is not recognizing the Selenium library, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue

1. Check Project Interpreter

Ensure that you have the correct Python interpreter selected for your project. Open PyCharm, go to File > Settings > Project > Project Interpreter. Make sure that the interpreter you are using has Selenium installed.

2. Install Selenium

Install the Selenium library if you haven't done so. You can install it using the following pip command in your terminal or command prompt:

pip install selenium

3. PyCharm Reindexing:

   • Sometimes, PyCharm may not automatically recognize installed packages. Try restarting PyCharm, and it will perform a reindexing of your project. This may resolve the issue.

4. Virtual Environment:

   • If you are using a virtual environment, make sure it is activated. PyCharm should recognize the packages installed within the virtual environment.

5. PyCharm Cache:

   • Clear PyCharm's cache. Go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart... and select "Invalidate and Restart." This will clear the caches and restart PyCharm.

6. Check Project Structure:

   • Verify that your project structure is set up correctly. The directory containing your Selenium scripts should be marked as the source root. Right-click on the directory and select Mark Directory as > Sources Root.

7. Check Python Path:

   • Verify that the Python path in PyCharm matches the path where Selenium is installed. You can check this in the Project Interpreter settings.

8. Check for Typos:

   • Ensure there are no typos or mistakes in your code. PyCharm might not recognize the library if there are syntax errors or import issues.

9. PyCharm Plugin:

   • Check if you have a PyCharm plugin related to Selenium. Some plugins provide additional support for Selenium. Make sure it is installed and enabled.

10. Update PyCharm:

    • Ensure that you are using the latest version of PyCharm. Updating to the latest version may resolve compatibility issues.

11. Recreate Virtual Environment (if applicable):

    • If you are using a virtual environment, try recreating it. Activate the new virtual environment and install Selenium again.

After going through these steps, PyCharm should recognize the Selenium library. If the issue persists, double-check your project configuration and make sure there are no conflicting settings or issues with your Python environment.

To check if a proxy server is working, you can follow these steps:

1. Open your web browser and go to a website that is not blocked by your proxy server.

2. In the address bar, enter the proxy server address and port number in the following format: http://proxy-server-address:port-number

3. Press Enter and wait for the page to load. If the page loads successfully, it means your proxy server is working.

4. If the page does not load or you see an error message, it means your proxy server is not working or is blocked by the website you are trying to access.

Alternatively, you can use online tools like Proxy Checker (https://www.proxychecker.com/) to test your proxy server. These tools will provide you with information on whether your proxy server is working or not.

Paid proxies are definitely better and more reliable than free ones. How do you test them? You can simply use the Hidemy Name service. It also shows which protocols the service uses and how reliable the connection is.
