Sessions

To reuse the same proxy for multiple requests, simply use the session_number parameter by setting it equal to a unique integer for every session you want to maintain (e.g. session_number=123). This will allow you to continue using the same proxy for each request with that session number. To create a new session simply set the session_number parameter with a new integer to the API. The session value can be any integer. Sessions expire 15 minutes after the last usage.

• API REQUEST

require 'net/http'
require 'json'
params = {
  :api_key => "APIKEY",
  :url => "http://httpbin.org/ip",
  :session_number => 123
}
uri = URI('http://api.scraperapi.com/')
uri.query = URI.encode_www_form(params)
website_content = Net::HTTP.get(uri)
print(website_content)

• PROXY MODE

require 'httparty'
HTTParty::Basement.default_options.update(verify: false)
response = HTTParty.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', {
  http_proxyaddr: "proxy-server.scraperapi.com",
  http_proxyport: "8001",
  http_proxyuser: "scraperapi.session_number=123",
  http_proxypass: "APIKEY"
})
results = response.body
puts results 

• SDK Method

# remember to install the library: gem install scraperapi
require "scraper_api"
client = ScraperAPI::Client.new("APIKEY")
result = client.get("http://httpbin.org/ip", session_number: 123).raw_body
puts result
