HexaProxy — Python Examples

Production-ready Python examples for using 4G mobile proxies with the most common scraping and automation libraries.

All examples use HexaProxy, a French 4G mobile proxy provider running real SIM cards on Orange, SFR, Bouygues Telecom, and Free Mobile networks. They will work with any HTTP/HTTPS proxy provider, but you'll get the best detection-bypass results with real mobile carrier IPs.

Why 4G mobile proxies for scraping

Modern anti-bot systems (Cloudflare, DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai) classify IPs by ASN. Datacenter IPs are flagged in seconds. Residential IPs are better but often shared across dozens of users via P2P pools — meaning you inherit other people's reputation.

Mobile 4G IPs route through real cellular networks. Thanks to CGNAT (Carrier-Grade NAT), a single mobile IP is shared with thousands of legitimate users at the same time, making it nearly impossible for websites to block them without burning real customers.

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/Hexaproxytech/hexaproxy-python-examples.git
cd hexaproxy-python-examples
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env  # then edit .env with your real credentials
python examples/01_requests_simple.py

Examples

File	Library	Use case
01_requests_simple.py	requests	Basic GET/POST through a proxy
02_aiohttp_async.py	aiohttp	Concurrent requests at scale
03_playwright_browser.py	playwright	Headless browser scraping with proxy
04_scrapy_settings.py	scrapy	Scrapy middleware configuration
05_rotation_demo.py	requests	Trigger and observe IP rotation
06_persistence_check.py	requests	Verify carrier-side IP stability over time

Getting credentials

These examples use placeholder credentials (demo_user:demo_pass@gateway.hexaproxy.tech:8000). To run them against a real proxy:

1. Sign up at hexaproxy.tech
2. Pick a SIM (€49.90/month, unlimited bandwidth, dedicated)
3. Get your gateway endpoint, port, username, and password from your dashboard at hexaproxy.me
4. Drop them into your .env file

Carrier matters

If you're using these examples for ad account warm-up (Facebook, TikTok, Google Ads), pick Orange in your HexaProxy dashboard. Orange SIMs typically hold the same IP for several days without involuntary reassignment, which is what platforms expect from a "real human." Free Mobile rotates more often — better suited for high-volume scraping where IP diversity is a feature.
