Simple way to use a proxy api (high quantity, low quality proxies) reliably.

try_till_succeed.py

def get_proxy():
    api_key = ''
    proxy_url = f'https://api.getproxylist.com/proxy?apiKey={api_key}&lastTested=600&protocol[]=http&allowsHttps=1&minDownloadSpeed=500&maxConnectTime=1'
    p = requests.get(proxy_url).json()
    return f"{p['protocol']}://{p['ip']}:{p['port']}"
      
def get_lender():
    while True:
        try:
            r = requests.get(
                f'https://api.zxy.org/v1/lenders/xyz.json',
                proxies={"https": get_proxy()},
                timeout=3
            )
        except Exception:
            continue

        if r.status_code == 200:
            break
            
    return r.json()
