aiohttp request with proxy params in ccxt.async

Hello. I want to fetch orderbooks from bittrex using ccxt.async through my proxy server. I know that fetch_order_book uses aiohttp module in it, and I want to pass my proxy address to aiohttp.ClientSession().get() as a parameter, as shown below.

async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get("http://python.org",
                           proxy="http://some.proxy.com") as resp:
        print(resp.status)

So, I think I need to override fetch_order_book(). How do I get through this?

@owneroxxor using an external session + socks connector could work:

• https://github.com/romis2012/aiohttp-socks

pip install aiohttp_socks

The example code could look close to this:

import ccxt.async_support as ccxt
import aiohttp
import aiohttp_socks

connector = aiohttp_socks.SocksConnector.from_url('socks5://user:password@127.0.0.1:1080')
session = aiohttp.ClientSession(connector=connector)

exchange = ccxt.binance({
    'session': session,
    'enableRateLimit': True,
    # ...
})

# ...

Make sure you await session.close() when you don’t need it anymore.
