Examples

Anonymize Scrapeable Files

 // Create a new ProxyServerPool object. This object will
 // control how screen-scraper interacts with proxy servers.

 proxyServerPool = new ProxyServerPool();

 // We give the current scraping session a reference to
 // the proxy pool. This step should ideally be done right
 // after the object is created (as in the previous step).

 session.setProxyServerPool( proxyServerPool );

 ... Proxy Server Pool Setup ...

 // This is the switch that tells the scraping session to make
 // use of the proxy servers. Note that this can be turned on
 // and off during the course of the scrape. You may want to
 // anonymize some pages, but not others.
 session.setUseProxyFromPool( true );
