Is there a way to use the scraper with proxies ?

Hi I am trying to use the scraper with proxies but am not sure where to pass them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

You can use:

from facebook_scraper import set_proxy
set_proxy("http://localhost:8080")

But I generally wouldn't recommend it, as public proxies raise red flags to Facebook servers

Thanks How many requests can you make without proxy before facebook starts blocking you?

It depends if you're logged in or not

How many if you are logged in?

It depends how fast you make them

Does set_proxy accept username and password? if the proxy server need those?

Try bake the username and password into the URL. Like, http://user:pass@url
