Best proxies for parsing
Data parsing is when information is collected from websites. No marketing strategy or competitor research can do without it today. For this purpose, you need tools that can cope with the protection of sites. We are talking about proxy servers. But what type of proxy to choose? It all depends on the tasks. Let's consider three main types: server, residential and mobile proxies. Let's find out for which types of parsing to choose one or another type.
Datacenter proxy
Server proxies provide IP addresses tied to powerful data centers. This ensures a constant and fast connection. For example, all our proxies operate at a stable speed of up to 7 mbps. All with minimal dropped connections and low latency. This makes server proxies an ideal choice for tasks where speed is the most important thing. We are talking about such tasks as:
- Collection of large volumes of data. With server proxies it is possible to process up to tens of thousands of requests daily, which is especially important for SEO-specialists working with search engines.
- Working with resources without strict protection.
- Scalable projects. If necessary, a pool of several hundred IP addresses can be connected, which increases the parsing speed.
Server proxies, combined with anti-detection browsers or load balancing scripts, reduce processing time and minimize the likelihood of blocking. It's not just stability - it's control and predictable performance.
What tasks are datacenter proxies suitable for?
- Price aggregation. A store that parses aggregator sites with server proxies can process up to 10,000 pages per day.
- Analyzing reviews. Platforms with hotel or restaurant reviews rarely block server IPs, as they are used by large companies for monitoring.
- SEO reports. Tools like Screaming Frog for mass link or keyword analysis work faster on these proxies.
Features:
- Datacenter proxies are banned if the site applies strict anti-bot protection. Anti-detect browsers are often used to bypass them.
We've written a lot about what browsers are popular right now:
Server proxies can be purchased in the corresponding section. You can select foreign ones in the “Individual IPv4 (foreign)” tab.
And you can select RF server proxies in the “Individual IPv4 (Russian)” tab.
Residential proxy
Residential proxies use the IP addresses of real devices connected through home ISPs.
What tasks are they suitable for?
- Parsing sites with anti-bot protection. Most online stores automatically trust residential addresses, because they look like regular users. For example, Amazon rarely blocks such requests.
- Monitoring local content. Want to know what products are advertised in New York or Paris? With residential proxies it is easy to change geolocation and get data from the target region.
Features:
- The speeds are slightly lower than server speeds, but ban protection is guaranteed.
To work with residential proxies, it is useful to use anti-detect browsers such as Switch Antidetect or GoLogin so that sites perceive requests as actions of a real person.
Residential proxies can be purchased in the corresponding section in the “Premium IPv4 (residential and rare GEO)” tab.
Mobile proxy
Mobile proxies are IP addresses taken from devices connected to cellular networks.
What tasks are they suitable for?
- Bypassing complex anti-bot systems. For example, when collecting data from social networks.
- Mass data collection. Mobile proxies perfectly cope with the task when you need to run dozens of streams simultaneously without the risk of bans.
Features:
- Mobile IP addresses have the highest level of trust due to their binding to cellular operators.
- High cost: Mobile proxies are suitable for one-time complex and expensive projects where it is critical to avoid blocking.
Working together with anti-detect browsers such as Dolphin or AdsPower will allow you to completely hide activity from sites.
Mobile proxies can be purchased in the corresponding section in the “Mobile proxies” tab.
How to choose a proxy for parsing?
To summarize the article. Here is how to choose proxies for parsing:
- For large-scale and fast parsing on sites with not the strictest protection - datacenter.
- For parsing with geographical restrictions and serious protection - residential.
- For bypassing tough anti-bot systems - mobile.
Each type of proxy unlocks its potential only when properly configured. For example, anti-detect browsers add another layer of protection by helping to simulate the behavior of a real user.
