## What it is
A Python proxy pool service that periodically scrapes free proxies from 15+ sources, validates them, and stores them in Redis/SSDB. It exposes a RESTful API and CLI for retrieving usable HTTP/HTTPS proxies for web scraping.

## Use cases
- get free proxies for web scraping
- build a rotating proxy pool for a crawler
- avoid IP bans when scraping websites
- self-host a proxy API service
- automatically validate and refresh proxy lists

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted pool of free proxies for scraping
- you want automatic collection, validation, and API access to proxies
- you prefer Docker deployment with Redis storage

## When to avoid
- you need high-reliability paid proxies for production scraping
- you need SOCKS5 or authenticated proxy support
- you want a zero-maintenance managed proxy service

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active

- domain: crawlers, web-development, self-hosted
- platform: python, self-hosted, cli
