I am trying to fetch JSON data, via a Python3 script, on Tails. I would like to know that this code is secure and doesn't leak IP or any other stuff. I know that Tails is configured to block any problematic connection, so I would like to know if my code is safe.
import json
import requests
url = 'https://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/markets.json'
proxy = {'https': "socks5://127.0.0.1:9050"}
with open('datafile','w') as outfile:
json.dump( (requests.get(url , proxies=proxy ).json()) ,outfile)
As you can see I am using the requests that has been suggested for proxies. I use socks5 just like the docs suggest, configured for the localhost 9050 port that tor listens to.
I guess if the website would be http then I would have to change the proxy to 'http' as well.
One thing I am not sure about is whether to use the port 9150 or 9050 , the code seems to work on both proxies, but I don't know which one is safer.
Other than these, is my code safe to use on Tails?
