The proxy plays an important role in web scraping. That's why you need to choose which proxies you want to use \u2014 and whether you need a dedicated or shared proxy. Here is a quick selection of the best proxy providers with some advice to help you choose the right one for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"overview\">In this guide<\/h2>\r\n <p>In the sections below, you will find everything you need to know about proxies for web scraping: what they are, why you need them, and which providers stand out. In addition, we cover how to calculate the number of proxies you need.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-toc\">\r\n <p class=\"sb-toc-title\">Table of contents<\/p>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li><a href=\"#what-is-proxy\">What is a Proxy?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#why-proxies\">Why use proxies for web scraping?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#which-provider\">Which proxy provider to use?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#how-many\">How many proxy servers do I need?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#dedicated\">Prefer dedicated servers to shared servers<\/a><\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"what-is-proxy\">1. What is a Proxy?<\/h2>\r\n <p>A proxy is a computer or server that acts as an intermediary between the browser and the Internet. If there is no proxy, your request for connection to a site will be sent directly to the server of that site.<\/p>\r\n <p>But with a proxy server, your request will first be sent to the server that acts as an intermediary \u2014 which is the proxy server.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"why-proxies\">2. Why use proxies for web scraping?<\/h2>\r\n <p>Besides the fact that a proxy can help you improve security, it is also used to block IP addresses. Therefore, by using a proxy for scraping, the target site cannot recognize your IP address.<\/p>\r\n <p>By using a proxy to hide the hardware's IP address, the target site will not be able to track the source of the scan. Otherwise, your identity will be disclosed, and you could be sued if you misuse web scraping.<\/p>\r\n <p>The second reason to use a proxy is to exceed the connection limit. Large websites \u2014 such as e-commerce or content-rich websites \u2014 have protocols in place that detect suspicious requests, such as copying content from multiple pages.<\/p>\r\n <p>With a proxy (or proxies), you have multiple IP addresses and can use these IP addresses to make multiple requests. This way, each IP will not exceed the possible connection limit on the target site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"which-provider\">3. Which proxy provider to use?<\/h2>\r\n <p>Since there are hundreds of proxy providers on the network, the selection is difficult. Before making your choice, do compare their offers based on the benefits offered, such as specs and prices. To make it easier for you, here are some of the best options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#1 ScrapingBot \u2014 a turnkey web scraping tool<\/h3>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot is not just a proxy provider, but a turnkey web scraping tool for developers. Coupled with a web scraper, the API will overcome all the obstacles that stand in its way, such as proxies, CAPTCHAs, or browsers.<\/p>\r\n <p>So you can retrieve raw HTML from any website without getting blocked with a simple API call. With ScrapingBot, you don't have to manage proxies. The API manages the choice of IP addresses and their rotation thanks to several hundred thousand residential and mobile proxies in more than 50 countries.<\/p>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot has several specific APIs for retail, real estate, or even campsites, but also for retrieving raw HTML. A PrestaShop module is also available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#2 Bright Data<\/h3>\r\n <p>Bright Data, formerly known as Luminati, is one of the earliest and most well-known proxy providers. More intended for large-scale use, it offers one of the best proxy servers on the market.<\/p>\r\n <p>In particular, Bright Data stands out for their more than 70 million residential IP addresses rotating in every country and city of the world. Furthermore, you can access them by using their Chrome extension, their API, or their proxy manager.<\/p>\r\n <p>Concretely, Bright Data is one of the most efficient proxy providers. They offer features like a random header generator, built-in captcha resolver, or predefined configurations to manipulate proxies. They have one of the largest varieties of products.<\/p>\r\n <p>Their prices are based on bandwidth. A data center proxy is accessible from $0.40\/month per IP, and $3.00 for a residential proxy. They also have pay-as-you-go options or pay-per-IP options at low scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#3 Smartproxy<\/h3>\r\n <p>Smartproxy offers an all-in-one data harvesting tool that lets you scrape major search engines like Google, Bing, Baidu, Yandex, and others, as well as any big e-commerce site. Their search engine proxies combine a proxy network of 40 million high-quality IPs worldwide together with a scraper and a data parser.<\/p>\r\n <p>As a result, this solution can help you improve your SEO metrics, gather paid and organic data in real-time, compare prices, and research your competitors or the market. To ensure that you get your money's worth, Smartproxy goes through the whole proxy pool and chooses the best proxies for each of your requests. In terms of pricing, this product starts at $100\/month + VAT for 35,000 successful requests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#4 MyPrivateProxy \u2014 an optimal proxy for web scraping<\/h3>\r\n <p>This provider offers a private proxy with everything you need: multiple locations, extreme anonymity, dedicated servers, and more. MyPrivateProxy offers 12 different pricing plans.<\/p>\r\n <p>For example, the cheapest option is 1 proxy with a single location at $2.49 per month. However, this offer does not apply to web scraping. Instead, the offers adapted to web scraping include 110 to 2,200 proxies. The number of locations ranges from 6 to 14, and consequently the price ranges from $165 per month to $2,500 per month. For heavy consumers, suppliers offer personalized pricing with everything tailor-made, including the price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#5 SSL Private Proxy \u2014 a good provider to scrape websites<\/h3>\r\n <p>SSL Private Proxy provides a dedicated IP address, anonymity, VPN, and a fast connection. The price for a private proxy starts at $1.75 per month. If you want to web scrape with this provider, you will need to purchase multiple subscriptions to get multiple IP addresses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n <strong>\ud83d\udca1 Quick comparison:<\/strong> The table below summarizes the key details of each provider at a glance.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n <thead>\r\n <tr>\r\n <th>Provider<\/th>\r\n <th>Starting price<\/th>\r\n <th>Key feature<\/th>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>ScrapingBot<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>Free tier available<\/td>\r\n <td>Turnkey scraping API with proxy rotation<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>Bright Data<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$0.40\/IP\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>70M+ residential IPs, captcha resolver<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>Smartproxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$100\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Search engine scraper + data parser<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>MyPrivateProxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$2.49\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Private proxies with multiple locations<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>SSL Private Proxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$1.75\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Dedicated IPs with VPN and anonymity<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"how-many\">4. How many proxy servers do I need?<\/h2>\r\n <p>It all depends on the target website and your intentions: the number of pages it contains, the number of pages to retrieve, and so on.<\/p>\r\n <p>To get an idea, limit requests to 500 per IP per hour. Most websites use this threshold. But to be safe, you need to know the connection limits of the target site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"dedicated\">5. Prefer dedicated servers to shared servers<\/h2>\r\n <p>A dedicated server is a server that only you can use. For web scraping, it is therefore better to have multiple dedicated servers instead of multiple shared servers. It is an investment, but it is more secure for the extracted data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n <strong>To conclude:<\/strong> So that your web scraping goes smoothly, here are the main tips to keep in mind:\r\n <ul style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\r\n <li>Choose your proxy provider carefully, paying attention to the advantages offered.<\/li>\r\n <li>Carefully choose your web scraping software and integrate your proxy into it.<\/li>\r\n <li>Choose a dedicated server, and precisely calculate the number of proxies needed to extract the content of the website, so as not to exceed the connection limit.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n <p><strong>Ready to start scraping without getting blocked?<\/strong> Try ScrapingBot and get started with a simple API call \u2014 no proxy management needed.<\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">See pricing of ScrapingBot \u2192<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 5 Best Proxy Providers for Web Scraping Web Scraping 5 min read \u00b7 Published: 03\/11\/2021 Top 5 Best Proxy Providers for Web Scraping Extracting content from a website is never easy.

The proxy plays an important role in web scraping. That's why you need to choose which proxies you want to use \u2014 and whether you need a dedicated or shared proxy. Here is a quick selection of the best proxy providers with some advice to help you choose the right one for you.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"overview\">In this guide<\/h2>\r\n <p>In the sections below, you will find everything you need to know about proxies for web scraping: what they are, why you need them, and which providers stand out. In addition, we cover how to calculate the number of proxies you need.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-toc\">\r\n <p class=\"sb-toc-title\">Table of contents<\/p>\r\n <ol>\r\n <li><a href=\"#what-is-proxy\">What is a Proxy?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#why-proxies\">Why use proxies for web scraping?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#which-provider\">Which proxy provider to use?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#how-many\">How many proxy servers do I need?<\/a><\/li>\r\n <li><a href=\"#dedicated\">Prefer dedicated servers to shared servers<\/a><\/li>\r\n <\/ol>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"what-is-proxy\">1. What is a Proxy?<\/h2>\r\n <p>A proxy is a computer or server that acts as an intermediary between the browser and the Internet. If there is no proxy, your request for connection to a site will be sent directly to the server of that site.<\/p>\r\n <p>But with a proxy server, your request will first be sent to the server that acts as an intermediary \u2014 which is the proxy server.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"why-proxies\">2. Why use proxies for web scraping?<\/h2>\r\n <p>Besides the fact that a proxy can help you improve security, it is also used to block IP addresses. Therefore, by using a proxy for scraping, the target site cannot recognize your IP address.<\/p>\r\n <p>By using a proxy to hide the hardware's IP address, the target site will not be able to track the source of the scan. Otherwise, your identity will be disclosed, and you could be sued if you misuse web scraping.<\/p>\r\n <p>The second reason to use a proxy is to exceed the connection limit. Large websites \u2014 such as e-commerce or content-rich websites \u2014 have protocols in place that detect suspicious requests, such as copying content from multiple pages.<\/p>\r\n <p>With a proxy (or proxies), you have multiple IP addresses and can use these IP addresses to make multiple requests. This way, each IP will not exceed the possible connection limit on the target site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"which-provider\">3. Which proxy provider to use?<\/h2>\r\n <p>Since there are hundreds of proxy providers on the network, the selection is difficult. Before making your choice, do compare their offers based on the benefits offered, such as specs and prices. To make it easier for you, here are some of the best options.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#1 ScrapingBot \u2014 a turnkey web scraping tool<\/h3>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot is not just a proxy provider, but a turnkey web scraping tool for developers. Coupled with a web scraper, the API will overcome all the obstacles that stand in its way, such as proxies, CAPTCHAs, or browsers.<\/p>\r\n <p>So you can retrieve raw HTML from any website without getting blocked with a simple API call. With ScrapingBot, you don't have to manage proxies. The API manages the choice of IP addresses and their rotation thanks to several hundred thousand residential and mobile proxies in more than 50 countries.<\/p>\r\n <p>ScrapingBot has several specific APIs for retail, real estate, or even campsites, but also for retrieving raw HTML. A PrestaShop module is also available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#2 Bright Data<\/h3>\r\n <p>Bright Data, formerly known as Luminati, is one of the earliest and most well-known proxy providers. More intended for large-scale use, it offers one of the best proxy servers on the market.<\/p>\r\n <p>In particular, Bright Data stands out for their more than 70 million residential IP addresses rotating in every country and city of the world. Furthermore, you can access them by using their Chrome extension, their API, or their proxy manager.<\/p>\r\n <p>Concretely, Bright Data is one of the most efficient proxy providers. They offer features like a random header generator, built-in captcha resolver, or predefined configurations to manipulate proxies. They have one of the largest varieties of products.<\/p>\r\n <p>Their prices are based on bandwidth. A data center proxy is accessible from $0.40\/month per IP, and $3.00 for a residential proxy. They also have pay-as-you-go options or pay-per-IP options at low scale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#3 Smartproxy<\/h3>\r\n <p>Smartproxy offers an all-in-one data harvesting tool that lets you scrape major search engines like Google, Bing, Baidu, Yandex, and others, as well as any big e-commerce site. Their search engine proxies combine a proxy network of 40 million high-quality IPs worldwide together with a scraper and a data parser.<\/p>\r\n <p>As a result, this solution can help you improve your SEO metrics, gather paid and organic data in real-time, compare prices, and research your competitors or the market. To ensure that you get your money's worth, Smartproxy goes through the whole proxy pool and chooses the best proxies for each of your requests. In terms of pricing, this product starts at $100\/month + VAT for 35,000 successful requests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#4 MyPrivateProxy \u2014 an optimal proxy for web scraping<\/h3>\r\n <p>This provider offers a private proxy with everything you need: multiple locations, extreme anonymity, dedicated servers, and more. MyPrivateProxy offers 12 different pricing plans.<\/p>\r\n <p>For example, the cheapest option is 1 proxy with a single location at $2.49 per month. However, this offer does not apply to web scraping. Instead, the offers adapted to web scraping include 110 to 2,200 proxies. The number of locations ranges from 6 to 14, and consequently the price ranges from $165 per month to $2,500 per month. For heavy consumers, suppliers offer personalized pricing with everything tailor-made, including the price.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h3>#5 SSL Private Proxy \u2014 a good provider to scrape websites<\/h3>\r\n <p>SSL Private Proxy provides a dedicated IP address, anonymity, VPN, and a fast connection. The price for a private proxy starts at $1.75 per month. If you want to web scrape with this provider, you will need to purchase multiple subscriptions to get multiple IP addresses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n <strong>\ud83d\udca1 Quick comparison:<\/strong> The table below summarizes the key details of each provider at a glance.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <table class=\"sb-table\">\r\n <thead>\r\n <tr>\r\n <th>Provider<\/th>\r\n <th>Starting price<\/th>\r\n <th>Key feature<\/th>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>ScrapingBot<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>Free tier available<\/td>\r\n <td>Turnkey scraping API with proxy rotation<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>Bright Data<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$0.40\/IP\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>70M+ residential IPs, captcha resolver<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>Smartproxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$100\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Search engine scraper + data parser<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>MyPrivateProxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$2.49\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Private proxies with multiple locations<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td><strong>SSL Private Proxy<\/strong><\/td>\r\n <td>$1.75\/month<\/td>\r\n <td>Dedicated IPs with VPN and anonymity<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"how-many\">4. How many proxy servers do I need?<\/h2>\r\n <p>It all depends on the target website and your intentions: the number of pages it contains, the number of pages to retrieve, and so on.<\/p>\r\n <p>To get an idea, limit requests to 500 per IP per hour. Most websites use this threshold. But to be safe, you need to know the connection limits of the target site.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <h2 id=\"dedicated\">5. Prefer dedicated servers to shared servers<\/h2>\r\n <p>A dedicated server is a server that only you can use. For web scraping, it is therefore better to have multiple dedicated servers instead of multiple shared servers. It is an investment, but it is more secure for the extracted data.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-note\">\r\n <strong>To conclude:<\/strong> So that your web scraping goes smoothly, here are the main tips to keep in mind:\r\n <ul style=\"margin: 0.5rem 0 0; padding-left: 1.25rem;\">\r\n <li>Choose your proxy provider carefully, paying attention to the advantages offered.<\/li>\r\n <li>Carefully choose your web scraping software and integrate your proxy into it.<\/li>\r\n <li>Choose a dedicated server, and precisely calculate the number of proxies needed to extract the content of the website, so as not to exceed the connection limit.<\/li>\r\n <\/ul>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"sb-cta\">\r\n <p><strong>Ready to start scraping without getting blocked?<\/strong> Try ScrapingBot and get started with a simple API call \u2014 no proxy management needed.<\/p>\r\n <a href=\"https:\/\/scraping-bot.io\/pricing\" class=\"sb-cta-btn\">See pricing of ScrapingBot \u2192<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n<\/article>\r\n\r\n<\/body>\r\n<\/html>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Top 5 Best Proxy Providers for Web Scraping Web Scraping 5 min read \u00b7 Published: 03\/11\/2021 Top 5 Best Proxy Providers for Web Scraping Extracting content from a website is never easy.
