Proxy Use Case

Proxies for Web Scraping

Web scraping at scale demands reliable, rotating IPs that mimic real user behavior. Proxya gives you 40M+ residential IPs across 195 countries to harvest data without rate-limiting, CAPTCHAs, or IP bans.

Why Do You Need Proxies for Web Scraping?

Websites detect and block scrapers by IP. With a rotating residential proxy pool, each request appears to originate from a different real user, making your scraper invisible to anti-bot systems.

Key Benefits

  • Bypass anti-scraping systems and CAPTCHAs
  • Rotate IPs automatically on every request
  • Target specific countries and cities for geo-restricted data
  • Unlimited concurrent sessions for high-speed extraction
  • 99.9% uptime so your pipelines never stall
  • HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocol support

What this job needs, and what it costs

Traffic, not proxy count, is what you buy here. The arithmetic below is ours and you should check it against your own target — page weight varies enormously between sites.

Proxy type
Residential
Rule of thumb
~10,000 pages of HTML per gigabyte
At our rates
$2.40/GB, so 10 GB is about $24.00
Assumption
HTML only, no images — a rendering browser costs several times more

Run a headless browser instead of parsing markup and the same page costs about five times the traffic, because you are also fetching images, fonts and scripts. Turn images off first — it is the cheapest optimisation there is.

Start with one gigabyte. It costs about the price of a coffee and tells you the real ratio for your target, which no estimate on a vendor page can.

FAQ — Web Scraping Proxies

What type of proxy is best for web scraping?

Residential proxies are the gold standard for scraping because they use real device IPs assigned by ISPs. Datacenter proxies are faster and cheaper for less-protected targets.

How many requests per second can I run?

Proxya supports unlimited concurrent connections. The throughput depends on your plan size and the target site's limits.

Will my scraper get blocked?

Rotating residential IPs combined with proper request intervals eliminates most blocks. For heavy scraping, our backconnect rotating pool cycles IPs every request.

Do you support JavaScript rendering / headless browsers?

Yes. Proxya works with Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium and any tool that supports HTTP/SOCKS5 proxies.

How do I rotate IPs automatically?

Use our backconnect endpoint — it automatically assigns a new IP from our pool on each connection or at a configurable time interval.
