zenrows 1.1.0

Python client for ZenRows API

ZenRows Python SDK

SDK to access ZenRows API directly from Python. ZenRows handles proxies rotation, headless browsers, and CAPTCHAs for you.

Installation

Install the SDK with pip.

pip install zenrows

Usage

Start using the API by creating your API Key.

The SDK uses requests for HTTP requests. The client's response will be a requests Response.

It also uses Retry to automatically retry failed requests (status codes 429, 500, 502, 503, and 504). Retries are not active by default; you need to specify the number of retries, as shown below. It already includes an exponential back-off retry delay between failed requests.

from zenrows import ZenRowsClient

client = ZenRowsClient("YOUR-API-KEY", retries=1)
url = "https://www.zenrows.com/"

response = client.get(url, params={
    # Our algorithm allows to automatically extract content from any website
    "autoparse": False,

    # CSS Selectors for data extraction (i.e. {"links":"a @href"} to get href attributes from links)
    "css_extractor": "",

    # Enable Javascript with a headless browser (5 credits)
    "js_render": False,

    # Use residential proxies (10 credits)
    "premium_proxy": False,

    # Make your request from a given country. Requires premium_proxy
    "proxy_country": "us",

    # Wait for a given CSS Selector to load in the DOM. Requires js_render
    "wait_for": ".content",

    # Wait a fixed amount of time in milliseconds. Requires js_render
    "wait": 2500,

    # Block specific resources from loading, check docs for the full list. Requires js_render
    "block_resources": "image,media,font",

    # Change the browser's window width and height. Requires js_render
    "window_width": 1920,
    "window_height": 1080,

    # Will automatically use either desktop or mobile user agents in the headers
    "device": "desktop",

    # Will return the status code returned by the website
    "original_status": False,
}, headers={
    "Referrer": "https://www.google.com",
    "User-Agent": "MyCustomUserAgent",
})

print(response.text)

You can also pass optional params and headers; the list above is a reference. For more info, check out the documentation page.

Sending headers to the target URL will overwrite our defaults. Be careful when doing it and contact us if there is any problem.
