proxies-pool

Simple way to handle a pool of proxies using round robin strategy.

Install

$ npm install proxies-pool --save

Usage

The instance is a function that returns a different proxy every time you call it, using round robin algorithm.

const proxiesPool = require('proxies-pool')
const proxies = ['proxy1', 'proxy2', 'proxy3']
const proxyPool = proxiesPool(proxies)
const url = 'http://lumtest.com/echo.json'
 
const createAgent = proxy => ({
  agent: {
    http: tunnel.httpOverHttp({ proxy })
  }
})
 
;(async () => {
  // => it uses 'proxy1'
  await got(url, { agent: createAgent(proxyPool()) })
 
  // => it uses 'proxy2'
  await got(url, { agent: createAgent(proxyPool()) })
 
  // => it uses 'proxy3'
  await got(url, { agent: createAgent(proxyPool()) })
 
  // => it uses 'proxy1'
  await got(url, { agent: createAgent(proxyPool()) })
})()
