QUESTION
I am trying to fake user agents as well as rotate them in Python.
I found a tutorial online about how to do this with Scrapy using scrapy-useragents package.
I scrape the webpage, https://www.whatsmyua.info/, in order to check my user agent to see if it is different then mine and if it rotates. Is it different then my actual user agent but it does not rotate it returns the same user agent each time, and I cannot figure out what is going wrong.

...ANSWER
Answered 2019-Jun-06 at 13:45Figured it out by creating csv file with all my url's and they are paired with IP's and user agents and so every time I access the webpage I use those IP's and user agents. Then I had to override my spalsh_url in my spider that way my splash_url would be equal to the proxy I am using at that moment.
