How to tell youtube-comments-task to use Shadow Socks proxy #4
Description
I just started to learn (node)js and want to scrape all comments of a list of youtube videos, by adding forEach loop and file output (for every video's comments) into your example code.
I got the following error for every youtube video id:
ERROR { component: 'fetch-first-page-token',
operation: 'fetch-first-page-token',
videoId: 'nPEYdw2Ssa8',
type: 'scraper-error',
message:
{ Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 8.7.198.45:443
at TCPConnectWrap.afterConnect [as oncomplete] (net.js:1159:14)
errno: 'ECONNREFUSED',
code: 'ECONNREFUSED',
syscall: 'connect',
address: '8.7.198.45',
port: 443 } }
I'm behind GFW of china, using SS proxy through brook GUI client on MacOS.
Could you please tell me how to tell youtube-comments-task to use the SS proxy?

Hi there,
The easiest thing would be to modify the request opts in https://github.com/philbot9/youtube-comments-task/blob/master/src/lib/utils/request.js#L7
You will want to add your proxy configuration there. Refer to https://github.com/request/request
The right way to do this would be to add support for an options parameter in youtube-comments-task. I.e.
fetchComments(videoId, pageToken, { proxy: '123.123.123.123:8888' }).This package will eventually receive a major bump (see #3) so that option will likely have to wait until then.
