requests: how to disable / bypass proxy

Question

I am getting an url with:

r = requests.get("http://myserver.com") 

As I can see in the 'access.log' of "myserver.com", the client's system proxy is used. But I want to disable using proxies at all with requests.

Answer 1

The only way I'm currently aware of for disabling proxies entirely is the following:

• Create a session
• Set session.trust_env to False
• Create your request using that session

import requests  session = requests.Session() session.trust_env = False  response = session.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com') 

This is based on this comment by Lukasa and the (limited) documentation for requests.Session.trust_env.

Note: Setting trust_env to False also ignores the following:

• Authentication information from .netrc (code)
• CA bundles defined in REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE or CURL_CA_BUNDLE (code)

If however you only want to disable proxies for a particular domain (like localhost), you can use the NO_PROXY environment variable:

import os import requests  os.environ['NO_PROXY'] = 'stackoverflow.com'  response = requests.get('http://www.stackoverflow.com') 

Answer 2

You can choose proxies for each request. From the docs:

import requests  proxies = {   "http": "http://10.10.1.10:3128",   "https": "http://10.10.1.10:1080", }  requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies) 

So to disable the proxy, just set each one to None:

import requests  proxies = {   "http": None,   "https": None, }  requests.get("http://example.org", proxies=proxies)
