Hi!
André Rodier:
Hello everyone,
I was not sure where to post this, but maybe QA is a good place.
This fell almost through the cracks, sorry for the delay. I think tor-talk could have been a better choice, but, yes, I can see why the decision where to send your mail has been hard. :)
I have a project that includes an automatic installation of a Tor proxy.
After the installation, I am able to test the proxy works as expected, using the official site, i.e. https://check.torproject.org/
I am using curl / grep to test for a string like "Congratulations, etc..."
However, I know this is not perfectly reliable, as the layout of the HTML can change at any time.
I would like to know if there is a better way to do this, for instance a special URL that would return the same information, in JSON or plain text. The plain text option is perfectly fine.
I think https://check.torproject.org/api/ip is what you want.
Georg
