Proxies for Web Scraping
Web scraping at any real scale needs proxies — without them, your IP is rate-limited or blocked within minutes. The right proxy type lets you collect data reliably and at speed.
For most scraping, residential proxies are the safest choice: they look like ordinary home users and are the hardest to block. If your target tolerates datacenter IPs, datacenter proxies are far cheaper and faster for high volume. For the most aggressive anti-bot targets, step up to mobile.
EchoProxies makes scraping infrastructure easy: rotate residential IPs automatically, target by country/city/session, and pull proxies straight into your code with a REST API and ready-made examples in cURL, Python, Node, Go, Java, C#, and PHP.
Our top pick for this use case.
Which proxies are best for web scraping?
Residential proxies for hard targets, datacenter for high-volume/cost-sensitive jobs, mobile for the toughest anti-bot sites.
Do you have an API for scraping?
Yes — a REST API lets you place orders and pull proxies programmatically, with code examples in seven languages.
