Hey everyone!
I recently integrated Hidemium – a proxy rotation service – into n8n to automatically change IP addresses for API requests. Super helpful when dealing with rate limits, scraping, or privacy-sensitive tasks.
How It Works:
- Get proxy via API
→ Use an HTTP Request Node to fetch a new proxy from Hidemium. - Store proxy data
→ Use a Set Node to save the IP/port for later use. - Make requests with proxy
→ Configure your following HTTP Request Nodes to use the stored proxy dynamically.
Use Cases:
- Web scraping without getting blocked
- Testing from different regions
- Staying anonymous for sensitive API calls
I’ve got a sample workflow if anyone’s interested – happy to share!
Also open to feedback or ideas on improving this setup.
