Node Axios Proxy Generator

Create a Node.js Axios proxy configuration with a production-safe proxy agent.

Inputs

Generated Output

Node + Axios snippet
import axios from "axios";
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from "https-proxy-agent";

const proxyUrl = "http://username:password@gate.hexproxies.com:8080";
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyUrl);

const res = await axios.get("https://example.com", {
  httpAgent: agent,
  httpsAgent: agent,
  timeout: 20000,
});

console.log(res.status);
console.log(res.data.slice(0, 200));
• If you are using CommonJS, replace imports with require().

Axios + proxy agent template

Axios does not always handle proxy auth cleanly out of the box. The recommended approach is to use a proxy agent so you can control headers, retries, and timeouts.

Why this template is safer

  • Works consistently across HTTPS destinations
  • Centralized proxy config for reuse
  • Easier to layer in retries and backoff

When to use it

Use this for production workloads or when you need consistent behavior across different targets.

Step-by-step

1
Install dependency
Add https-proxy-agent to your project dependencies.
2
Set proxy URL
Build the URL from protocol, host, port, and credentials.
3
Create agent
Attach the agent to both httpAgent and httpsAgent in Axios.
4
Test and scale
Validate responses before adding concurrency.

Tips

  • • Use keep-alive to reduce connection overhead for high-volume jobs.
  • • Throttle concurrency to match your plan limits.
