When building web scrapers one of the most common problems is getting blocked by websites.
If your scraper sends many requests from the same IP address, the target website may quickly detect and block the traffic.
One common solution used by developers is proxy rotation, where each request is sent through a different IP address.
Recently I tested several proxy providers while working on a scraping project. One of the services I tried was DataImpulse, which provides a large residential proxy network.
Some features I noticed:
• access to a large pool of residential IP addresses
• automatic proxy rotation
• global location targeting
• simple authentication via username and password
• compatibility with common scraping tools
Example using curl:
curl -x http://username:[email protected]:823 https://api.ipify.org
It also works well with Python libraries such as requests, aiohttp, or automation frameworks like Selenium.
If you're experimenting with scraping or automation and want to test a rotating proxy service, you can check it here:
