Python Requests Library without Proxy

If you're using the Python Requests library to make web requests, you may want to perform requests without using a proxy server. A proxy server acts as an intermediary between your computer and the internet, and it can be configured to filter, cache, and log your web requests. If you don't need a proxy server for your requests, you can simply use the following code:


    import requests

    response = requests.get('https://www.example.com')
    print(response.content)

This code performs a GET request to the specified URL using the default settings, which don't use a proxy server. The response is stored in the response variable, and the content of the response is printed to the console.

Alternative Methods

If you need to configure your request to not use a proxy server, you can set the proxies parameter to an empty dictionary:


    import requests

    response = requests.get('https://www.example.com', proxies={})
    print(response.content)

This code performs a GET request to the specified URL using an empty dictionary for the proxies parameter, which effectively disables the use of a proxy server.

If you want to specify more advanced configuration options for your requests, you can create a session object and configure it to use no proxy:


    import requests

    session = requests.Session()
    session.trust_env = False
    response = session.get('https://www.example.com')
    print(response.content)

This code creates a session object and sets the trust_env attribute to False, which prevents the session from using the environment's proxy settings. The session is then used to perform the GET request to the specified URL, and the response is printed to the console.
