[Python] Message: invalid argument: unrecognized capability: acceptSslCerts Stacktrace:...

Please handle me to solve this error. I want to scraping using selenium webdriver and rotating proxy, so i have to set up the proxy but i don't know what is the correct configuration to do that so just got this error. What is wrong with my configuration?


from selenium import webdriver
import time
import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

PATH = r'chromedriver.exe'

def listProxies():
"""Get List of Free Proxy."""
r = requests.get('https://free-proxy-list.net/')
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.content, 'html.parser')
table = soup.find('tbody')

proxies = []
for row in table:
if row.find_all('td')[4].text == 'elite proxy':
proxy = ':'.join([row.find_all('td')[0].text, row.find_all('td')[1].text])
proxies.append(proxy)
else:
pass
return proxies

def getProxy(prox):
proxy = {"http": f"http://{prox}",
"https": f"http://{prox}"
}
return proxy

def getProx():
"""Choose and get available Proxy from list"""
proxies = listProxies()
for prox in proxies:
# Free proxy (IPORT format from SSLProxies)
proxy = getProxy(prox)
try:
print(f"trying proxy:{proxy}...")
response = requests.get("http://httpbin.org/ip", proxies=proxy, timeout=5)
if response.status_code == 200:
print("Yay, its working! Proxy is working:", response.json()) # Should return the proxy's IP if working
return prox
else:
print("Proxy failed, switching...") # Get a new one
break
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as e:
print(f"Proxy failed: {e}. Trying another one")

def start_driver():
"""Starts Selenium WebDriver with a random proxy."""
prox = getProx() # (Update regularly or use a free-proxy)
proxy = getProxy(prox)
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['proxy'] = {
"httpProxy": prox,
"ftpProxy": prox,
"sslProxy": prox,
"proxyType": "MANUAL",
}
webdriver.DesiredCapabilities.CHROME['acceptSslCerts']=True
driver =webdriver.Chrome(service = webdriver.ChromeService(executable_path=PATH))
return driver



My Running Code


"""Running Code"""
try:
driver = start_driver()
driver.get("'http://whatismyipaddress.com'")
except Exception as e:
print(f"Proxy failed: {e}. Retrying with a new proxy...\n")
time.sleep(3) # Wait before retrying
print("Done.")



It gives me error message:
