# px6-proxy-fetcher
Small helper that grabs your active proxies from [PROXY6.net](https://px6.me/) and drops them into a text file you can hand to whatever is doing the crawling.
## getting started
Clone this repo, jump into it, and install it in editable mode:
```bash
pip install -e .
# want .env support? pip install -e .[dotenv]
```
Run it after setting your API key:
```bash
export PX6_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
px6-proxy-fetcher --print-env
```
That writes `proxies.txt` in the current directory and, with `--print-env`, emits the exports for `PROXY_LIST` and `PROXY_STRATEGY`. You can point the output elsewhere with `-o path/to/file.txt`. Verbosity toggles: `-q` for quiet, `-v` for chatty.
If `python-dotenv` is present, a local `.env` file will be loaded automatically.
## cron idea
```
0 */6 * * * cd /path/to/px6-proxy-fetcher && px6-proxy-fetcher -o /var/run/proxies.txt
```
Keep `proxies.txt` out of Git—it holds authenticated endpoints. The included `.gitignore` already skips it.
## license
MIT—see the included `LICENSE` file.
