Trying to use static proxy group

At a glance

A community member is trying to use a static proxy group to send traffic through a specific proxy server with a stable IP address, but is encountering a 407 error. Another community member suggests initializing the HttpsProxyAgent using only the proxy URL, which seems to resolve the issue. The original poster confirms that the suggested solution works and expresses gratitude.

below the piece of code involved

Plain Text

const httpsAgent = new HttpsProxyAgent({
            host: 'proxy.apify.com', 
            port: 8000, 
            auth: "<username>:<password>"
        });
        const axiosWithProxy = axios.create({httpsAgent});
const response = await axiosWithProxy.get(endpoint);

but when launch the execution of the bit, last line of code above return an error that say:
"Request failed with status code 407 AxiosError: Request failed with status code 407 ..."
error details are shown in the attached screenshot.
Anyone can help me please?

Hello , can you try to initialize the HttpsProxyAgent using only the proxy URL?

Plain Text

new HttpsProxyAgent('http://<username>:<password>@proxy.apify.com:8000');
