requests_tor

Release history: https://pypi.org/project/requests-tor/#history

Multithreading requests via TOR with automatic TOR new identity.

Wrapper of the requests and stem libraries. Returns requests.Response object.

Masking as Tor Browser by using its default headers:

    "Accept": "text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/avif,image/webp,*/*;q=0.8",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "Accept-Language": "en-US,en;q=0.5",
    "Upgrade-Insecure-Requests": "1",
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/102.0",

Install

pip install -U requests_tor

Dependencies

Download and start Tor Browser or install Tor

Notes:

• In Tor torrc file control port is disabled by default. Needs to uncomment line ControlPort 9051
• If you face an error Authentication failed: unable to read '/run/tor/control.authcookie' ([Errno 13] Permission denied: '/run/tor/control.authcookie') - needs to add your current user to the tor group. ps ax o comm,group | grep tor - command to find tor group (group name will be in the second column, for example debian-tor). sudo usermod -a -G debian-tor $USER - add your current user to tor group
• Restart Tor (/etc/init.d/tor restart) and re-login

Simple usage

from requests_tor import RequestsTor

# If you use the Tor browser
rt = RequestsTor()
OR
# If you use the Tor
rt = RequestsTor(tor_ports=(9050,), tor_cport=9051)

url = 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
r = rt.get(url)
print(r.text)

urls = ['https://foxnews.com', 'https://nbcnews.com', 'https://wsj.com/news/world',
        'https://abcnews.go.com', 'https://cbsnews.com',  'https://nytimes.com',
        'https://usatoday.com','https://reuters.com/world', 'http://bbc.com/news',
        'https://theguardian.com/world', 'https://cnn.com', 'https://apnews.com']
r = rt.get_urls(urls)
print(r[-1].text)

Advanced usage

Edit torrc file:

1. add socks ports,

SocksPort 9000 IsolateDestAddr
SocksPort 9001 IsolateDestAddr
SocksPort 9002 IsolateDestAddr
SocksPort 9003 IsolateDestAddr
SocksPort 9004 IsolateDestAddr

2. add password for control port [not necessary]:

generate and add in torrc file HashedControlPassword.

HashedControlPassword hashed_password

from requests_tor import RequestsTor

rt = RequestsTor(tor_ports=(9000, 9001, 9002, 9003, 9004), tor_cport=9151, password=None,
                 autochange_id=5, threads=8)
"""
    tor_ports = specify Tor socks ports tuple (default is (9150,), as the default in Tor Browser),
    if more than one port is set, the requests will be sent sequentially through the each port;
    tor_cport = specify Tor control port (default is 9151 for Tor Browser, for Tor use 9051);
    password = specify Tor control port password (default is None);
    autochange_id = number of requests via a one Tor socks port (default=5) to change TOR identity,
    specify autochange_id = 0 to turn off autochange Tor identity;
    threads = specify threads to download urls list (default=8);

"""
    url – URL for the new Request object.
    params – dictionary, list of tuples or bytes to send in the query string.
    **kwargs – optional arguments that request takes:
        data – (optional) Dictionary, list of tuples, bytes, or file-like object 
                to send in the body of the request.
        json – (optional) A JSON serializable Python object

        files – (optional) Dictionary of 'name': file-like-objects (or {'name': file-tuple}) 
            for multipart encoding upload. file-tuple can be a 2-tuple ('filename', fileobj), 
            3-tuple ('filename', fileobj, 'content_type') or a 4-tuple ('filename', fileobj, '
            content_type', custom_headers), where 'content-type' is a string defining the 
            content type of the given file and custom_headers a dict-like object containing 
            additional headers to add for the file.
        auth – (optional) Auth tuple to enable Basic/Digest/Custom HTTP Auth.

Examples

1. Get url with unique params and headers in request.

from requests_tor import RequestsTor

rt = RequestsTor(tor_ports=(9000, 9001, 9002, 9003, 9004), autochange_id=5)

url = 'https://httpbin.org/anything'
params = {
    "id": 12345,
    "status": 'passed'
    }
headers = {
    "Origin": "https://www.foxnews.com",
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.114 Safari/537.36"
    }
r = rt.get(url, params=params, headers=headers)
print(r.text)  

2. Get list of urls concurrently.

from requests_tor import RequestsTor

rt = RequestsTor(tor_ports=(9000, 9001, 9002, 9003, 9004), autochange_id=5)

# get urls list concurrently. TOR new identity is executed depending on the number of socksports and 
# autochange_id parameter. In case of 5 socksports and autochange_id=5, after downloading 5*5=25 urls
# TOR identity will be changed. It does matter, because calling TOR new identity includes time.sleep(3).
# get_urls(urls) can accept params, headers and other arguments from requests library.
urls = (f'https://checkip.amazonaws.com' for _ in range(10))
results = rt.get_urls(urls)
for r in results:
    print(r.text) 

3. Get list of urls concurrently with unique ip for each url

from requests_tor import RequestsTor

rt = RequestsTor(tor_ports=(9000, 9001, 9002, 9003, 9004), autochange_id=1)

urls = (f'https://habr.com/ru/post/{x}' for x in range(1, 51))
r = rt.get_urls(urls)
print(r[-1].text)
