Alibaba Cloud SDK:Configure a proxy

Last Updated:Jul 01, 2024

This topic describes how to configure a proxy in SDK for Python V1.0.

Methods

  • Configure a proxy by using an AcsClient instance.

    import os
    
    from aliyunsdkcore.client import AcsClient
    from aliyunsdkecs.request.v20140526.DescribeRegionsRequest import DescribeRegionsRequest
    
    # Initialize an SDK client.
    client = AcsClient(
        ak=os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),  # Obtain the AccessKey ID of the Resource Access Management (RAM) user from an environment variable.
        secret=os.environ.get('ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET'),  # Obtain the AccessKey secret of the RAM user from an environment variable.
        region_id='cn-beijing',  # The region ID.
        # Configure the proxy.
        proxy={'http': 'http://127.0.0.1:9898'}
        # proxy={'https': 'http://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:8989'}
    )
    
    # Create an API request and configure parameters.
    request = DescribeRegionsRequest()
    
    #Send the request.
    response = client.do_action_with_exception(request)
    print(str(response, encoding='utf-8'))
    
  • Configure a proxy by using one of the following environment variables:

    • HTTP_PROXY or http_proxy. Example of a valid value: http://127.0.0.1:9898.

    • HTTPS_PROXY or https_proxy. Set the environment variable in the following format: http://<user>:<password>@127.0.0.1:8989.

Note

The priority levels of the methods that are used to configure a proxy are listed in descending order: use an AcsClient instance and use an environment variable.
