Proxy Type

Proxy Type

ScrapeDev supports flexible proxy options to meet various scraping requirements, allowing users to choose between residential, datacenter, or custom proxies.

Setting the Proxy Type

Use the proxy parameter to specify the type of proxy for your request. Available options include:

• residential (default)

• datacenter

• own proxy

If no value is provided for the proxy parameter, the system defaults to residential.

Proxy Type Options

1. Residential: Utilizes IP addresses from residential locations, offering the most reliable access to target sites, especially those with strict anti-bot measures. Recommended for best results.

2. Datacenter: Employs IP addresses from commercial data centers. Generally faster but may be easier for target sites to detect.

3. Own Proxy: Allows users to provide their own proxy. To use this option, specify proxy=own and include the ownProxy parameter with the proxy details. Supported proxy types include http, https, and socks5.
