Python SDK

Python SDK

The official Python SDK for HydraSkill. Supports sync and async operations.

Installation

pip install hydraskill

Quick Start

from hydraskill import ProxyClient

client = ProxyClient(api_key="sk-...")

# Get a proxy
proxy = client.get_proxy(target="amazon.com", session_lock=True)

# Use with requests
import requests
resp = requests.get("https://amazon.com", proxies=proxy.to_dict())

# Release when done
proxy.release()

Async Support

from hydraskill import AsyncProxyClient

client = AsyncProxyClient(api_key="sk-...")

async def scrape():
    proxy = await client.get_proxy(target="amazon.com")
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(proxies=proxy.to_httpx()) as http:
        resp = await http.get("https://amazon.com")
    await proxy.release()

Integration with Playwright

from hydraskill import ProxyClient
from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright

client = ProxyClient()
proxy = client.get_proxy(target="amazon.com", session_lock=True)

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.launch(proxy={
        "server": proxy.to_playwright_server(),
        "username": proxy.username,
        "password": proxy.password,
    })
    page = browser.new_page()
    page.goto("https://amazon.com")

Configuration

client = ProxyClient(
    api_key="sk-...",
    timeout=30,           # request timeout in seconds
    max_retries=3,        # retry on transient errors
    base_url="https://api.hydraskill.ai",  # custom endpoint
)

Error Handling

from hydraskill.exceptions import (
    AuthenticationError,
    RateLimitError,
    ProxyExhaustedError,
    InsufficientBalanceError,
)

try:
    proxy = client.get_proxy(target="example.com")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after_ms}ms")
except InsufficientBalanceError:
    print("Upgrade your plan or add traffic")
