Proxy Support

Route all imdbio requests — including the AWS WAF challenge solver — through a proxy. This is useful for rotating IPs or bypassing IP blocks.

from imdbio import set_proxy, get_movie

# scheme://user:pass@host:port  (credentials optional)
set_proxy("http://user:pass@proxy.example.com:8080")

movie = get_movie("tt0133093")  # fetched through the proxy

# Disable proxying again
set_proxy(None)

Check the current proxy:

from imdbio import get_proxy

print(get_proxy())  # None or the proxy URL

Supported proxy schemes:

• http

• https

• socks4

• socks5

• socks5h

Socks proxies require the socks extras (install with pip install niquests[socks]).

Invalid proxy URLs raise ValueError immediately.
