Proxy Spider StrawberryPing server in Proxy Spider, without opening it
2 read operations and no writes: a companion can ping server and list proxies in Proxy Spider and hand back the ping servers with the source on each row.
Open the ping server. Check it against something else. Write the change. Move to the next one. That is the Proxy Spider afternoon nobody can hand off, and a companion does the whole pass and gives you back the batch, with nothing changed until you say so.
What it can do is exactly what Proxy Spider exposes to an account you authorise and nothing beyond it: 2 operations, 2 reads and no writes. In practice that means it can ping server and list proxies, and work across the ping servers and proxies.
The Proxy Spider API stops at Proxy Spider. A companion does not. The same run opens the customer's website, the supplier portal, the internal tool somebody built in 2019, because it is working the browser you are already signed into rather than calling in from outside it.
Can it ping server on its own?
All 2 operations read.
Your account, not a guess at it: a companion can ping server and list proxies, and the full list below is the whole list, with nothing inferred from Proxy Spider's documentation.
The ping servers are what most of this inventory is about, alongside the proxies. A companion can hold all 2 of these operations and forty open tabs in the same pass, which is how an afternoon of Proxy Spider admin becomes a queue you review.
- Ping Server
- List Proxies
It can ping server. Can it act on what it finds?
Through the screens you already use.
Proxy Spider exposes no write operation to a connected account, so a companion drives Proxy Spider in the session you are already signed into instead, filling the same forms you would to move a ping server, and anything consequential stops for an approval card before it happens.
That is the ordinary case rather than the exception. Most of what a ping server in Proxy Spider touches has no API pointed at it, and a companion is useful precisely because it does not need one.
Does the ping server sweep have to be asked for every time?
Yes.
Saved as a routine, the Proxy Spider ping servers pass runs at the hour you pick: the Monday sweep, the overnight refresh, the Friday check. Keep Awake holds the machine awake for the length of a run, so a scheduled pass finishes with the lid closed.
The product and engineering playbook catalogues the other recurring shapes of the infrastructure checks, the Proxy Spider ping servers sweep among them, and finished runs are published at real runs.
