Data Collection and Web Scraping

For web scraping, success comes from combining proxy quality with disciplined request behavior.

Recommended Setup

Product: Residential Proxy
Auth: username/password for flexible workers, IP whitelist for fixed servers
Geo: start with country-level targeting
Session: rotate by request for discovery, sticky for multi-step browsing
Retry: back off on repeated failures

Common Mistakes

Using city-level targeting when country-level is enough
Retrying too fast after blocks or CAPTCHA
Mixing cookies from one region with IPs from another
Sending all workers through one shared session

When to Use Static Residential

Use static residential proxies when scraping is tied to logged-in dashboards, stores, or accounts that require continuity.
