The crash of the server

The server overloaded with many requests, crashes after receiving more than 200 requests.

So, there is two solutions.

1. Putting a clock, to pause the execution before the 200 request, and to deceive the server to not recognize that the requests is coming from a bot.
2. Changing the IP adress after certain iterations.

import requests

url = "http://lichess.com/"
page = requests.get(url, proxies={"http":"132.59.100.108:41311"})
