You can use rotating proxies with Scrapy by configuring a proxy endpoint in your project settings or assigning a proxy to each request. Most proxy providers give you a single gateway address that automatically rotates the IP, so you usually don’t need to manage a large proxy list yourself.
Make sure your proxy URL includes the correct host, port, and authentication details. If you need the same IP for several requests, use a sticky session instead of rotating on every request.
Providers like Bright Data, Oxylabs, **Decodo , and SOAX ** offer Scrapy-compatible residential proxy endpoints and setup documentation.
Before running a large crawl, test the proxy with a small number of requests and check your logs for connection errors, authentication failures, or repeated IPs. Also follow the target website’s terms and use reasonable request rates.
