Bigdata supports a proxy setup on the client’s side. By setting a proxy you can redirect output traffic and work with it before it leaves your network. This is useful for debugging, security, and privacy reasons.

​

Set up

The recommended approach uses the standard environment variables: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, and WSS_PROXY.

However, the Bigdata object also supports a proxy parameter. Please choose only one of the two approaches.

export HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"
export WSS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"

export HTTPS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"
export WSS_PROXY="http://127.0.0.1:3128"

bigdata = Bigdata(proxy=Proxy(protocol="all", url="http://127.0.0.1:3128"))

HTTPS_PROXY="http://user:pass@127.0.0.1:3128"
