Yes, but not every package use gaxios as its request client. Maybe some other request clients just support 'HTTP_PROXY’ but not 'NO_PROXY'.
I found options.agent below, does it work?

{
  agent: new HttpsProxyAgent(proxy),
}

Here is the source code about opts.agent and proxy.
I doubt is this an alternative provided for developers?😂

I agree that it would be nice to be able to specify a proxy on a per-request level via a simple proxy: 'http://my.proxy.com' option, rather than using a global env var as suggested here, which will apply to all requests made in that environment.

Having said that, it does indeed seem to be possible already to set a per-request proxy using agent: new HttpsProxyAgent('http://my.proxy.com') but this requires the extra leg-work of installing the https-proxy-agent module and importing with import HttpsProxyAgent from 'https-proxy-agent'... not a massive deal but a proxy option would be nicer IMHO!
