Scylla

An intelligent proxy pool for humanities, to extract content from the internet and build your own Large Language Models in this new AI era.

Key features:

• Automatic proxy ip crawling and validation
• Easy-to-use JSON API
• Simple but beautiful web-based user interface (eg. geographical distribution of proxies)
• Get started with only 1 command minimally
• Simple HTTP Forward proxy server
• Scrapy and requests integration with only 1 line of code minimally
• Headless browser crawling

Get started

Installation

Install with Docker (highly recommended)

docker run -d -p 8899:8899 -p 8081:8081 -v /var/www/scylla:/var/www/scylla --name scylla wildcat/scylla:latest

Install directly via pip

pip install scylla
scylla --help
scylla # Run the crawler and web server for JSON API

Install from source

git clone https://github.com/imWildCat/scylla.git
cd scylla

pip install -r requirements.txt

cd frontend
npm install
cd ..

make assets-build

python -m scylla

Usage

This is an example of running a service locally (localhost), using port 8899.

Note: You might have to wait for 1 to 2 minutes in order to get some proxy ips populated in the database for the first time you use Scylla.

HTTP Forward Proxy Server

By default, Scylla will start a HTTP Forward Proxy Server on port 8081. This server will select one proxy updated recently from the database and it will be used for forward proxy. Whenever an HTTP request comes, the proxy server will select a proxy randomly.

Note: HTTPS requests are not supported at present.

The example for curl using this proxy server is shown below:

curl http://api.ipify.org -x http://127.0.0.1:8081

You could also use this feature with requests:

requests.get('http://api.ipify.org', proxies={'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:8081'})
