A Python library that mounts AWS API Gateway as a proxy onto requests sessions, rotating source IPs on every request using AWS's large IP pool. It is aimed at bypassing IP-based rate limits for web scraping and brute forcing, with automatic X-Forwarded-For randomization.

Use cases

• rotate IP addresses for web scraping
• bypass IP-based rate limits on a site
• send requests from different IPs each time
• distribute brute force requests across many IPs
• avoid getting blocked while crawling a website
• use AWS API Gateway as a free-tier proxy

When to choose

• you already have an AWS account and want pseudo-infinite rotating IPs
• you use Python requests and want drop-in IP rotation via session mounting
• you need to bypass per-IP rate limits during scraping or bug bounty work
• request volume fits within AWS API Gateway's free tier

When to avoid

• you need anonymity from AWS itself, since requests carry identifiable AWS headers like X-Amzn-Trace-Id
• your target blocks AWS IP ranges or API Gateway traffic
• you cannot manage AWS credentials or risk API Gateway charges
• you need high-volume scraping beyond the free tier without budget for ~$3 per million requests
