Hey guys,

I read the documentation, but I haven't found a tutorial on how to use a proxy... Can someone please help me or write some short lines on how to get spotipy to use a proxy?

Thank you!!

Hey,

proxies that you pass to spotipy will be passed directly to request.Session(), see here:

github.com/plamere/spotipy@13109c1613/spotipy/client.py (L150)

See if structuring your proxies as showed in the following references helps:

It is likely going to look like:

proxies = {
    “http”: “http://10.10.10.10:8000”,
    “https”: “http://10.10.10.10:8000”
}
spotipy.Spotify(auth_manager=spotipy.SpotifyOAuth(),
                proxies=proxies)

Please let us know how it goes and we can then improve the docs

Thanks, this worked like a charm!

Maybe you can add this code example to the folder examples on GitHub or add a code snipped on the readthedocs page :)
