Issue with proxy file

[lorenzoromani1983]

Hi.
I am not able to run the proxy file.
I have it formatted this way:

Socks4 182.48.90.81:1080
Socks4 36.37.225.50:33012

it is a simple txt file with many rows
i get this error message:

Invalid proxy file. Should have the following format: {}'.format(parse_proxy_file.doc))
Exception: Invalid proxy file. Should have the following format: Parses a proxy file

please, help :)

This project hasn't been updated for more than a year. Prefer using this project, developed from this one: https://github.com/fassn/SerpScrap (this is just a fork, I didn't started the project)

[lorenzoromani1983]

thanks.
but that, as far as i understand, needs to be used within code.
this is a "stand-alone" tool...which is easier for me (not a coder, not an expert at all).
did you manage to make the proxies work in http mode?
i need to get a json/csv of 700/800 kw from google.

Yes, I use proxies on the SerpScrap projet without problems

THanks, it looks neat. However, i ran into two main problems:

1) I cant save to CSV:
how to proceed? this is the error i get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Lorenzo\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\serpscrap\csv_writer.py", line 10, in write
with open(file_name, 'w', encoding='utf-8', newline='') as f:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:/.csv'
None
Traceback (most recent call last):

with open(file_name, 'w', encoding='utf-8', newline='') as f:
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: 'c:/.csv'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Lorenzo\Desktop\scraper.txt", line 17, in
results = scrap.as_csv('c:/')
File "C:\Users\Lorenzo\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\serpscrap\serpscrap.py", line 134, in as_csv
writer.write(file_path + '.csv', self.results)
File "C:\Users\Lorenzo\Anaconda\lib\site-packages\serpscrap\csv_writer.py", line 17, in write
raise Exception
Exception

2) when I try to scrape many kw with proxies, I get this error, and end up banned by Google

I am using proxies from free online proxy lists. Maybe they are already blacklisted by google?

hi,

• for question 1 can you please open an issue in the serpscrap project (https://github.com/ecoron/SerpScrap/issues)
• for question 2: yes most of free online proxies are banned or blocked by google
