Hi, is anyone working on this? What kind of proxy support are we looking for (HTTP, authenticated)? Are we considering using paid proxy services, or self-hosted proxies? Also, just to clarify, is this proxy usage intended as a forward proxy?

Hi @dartpain 👋 I’d like to work on this issue (#1690). I understand it involves adding proxy environment variable support inside the API tool (probably through requests proxies). Could you please assign this to me? I’ll start by checking where the requests are handled and add support for proxy env var overrides.
