how to change your ip address

Question

With the Python code below, I'm creating a web scraper:

import requests

def scrape(url):
    req = requests.get(url)
    with open('out.html', 'w') as f:
        f.write(req.text)

It works for a few times, but eventually the website returns an error HTML page (when I open my browser, I have a captcha to complete)

Is there a method to get over this "ban" by changing your IP address, for example?

Answer 1

Try using the following code. This the most fundamental security technique is to block or limit requests from the same IP address. It indicates that a normal user would not request a hundred pages in a matter of seconds, hence they label that connection as risky.

import requests 
 
response = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip') 
print(response.json()['origin']) 
# xyz.84.7.83
