# Harvester
Python package for harvesting commonly available data, such as free proxy servers.
## Running the Demo
If you just want proxies, just run the demo code in [main.py](main.py):
```shell
git clone https://git.juggalol.com/agatha/harvester
pip install -r requirements.txt
mkdir proxies
python main.py
```
## Modules
### Proxy
#### fetch_list
The `proxy` module will harvest proxies from URLs with the `fetch_list` function.
It functions by running a regular expression against the HTTP response, looking for
strings that match a `username:password@ip:port` pattern where username and password
are optional.
#### fetch_all
Proxies can be fetched from multiple source URLs by using the `fetch_all` function.
It takes a list of URLs and an optional `max_workers` parameter. Proxies will be fetched from
the source URLs concurrently using a `ThreadPoolExecutor`.
#### validate_socks
SOCKS5 proxies can be tested with the `validate_socks` method. The method takes a proxy
string as its only argument. It returns a `requests.Response` object if the request is successful
with no issues, otherwise it will raise an exception and the caller can decide how to proceed.
For an example implementation, see [main.py](main.py).
## Testing
I was trying to get into the habit of writing unit tests, but god damn I hate them. There are
a few, but I don't plan on continuing any time soon.
```
pip install -r requirements.txt
pip install -r requirement-dev.txt
pytest -v
```
