I got the same error, the problem is the api key for proxyorbit.com.

if you print the proxy_info after line 16 "proxy_info = requests.get(self.proxy_orbit_url).json()"
then you should see {u'error': u'API token is incorrect'}

How do we fix this error? I am guessing that it might have something to do with getting a new api token?
