Select the location needed for the pages you want to review. Record that choice alongside each collection run.
Connect your existing scraper to a residential proxy endpoint. Set the location and session behavior, test a request, and keep collection and parsing in your own workflow.
A web scraping proxy connects your client to public pages; residential proxies for web scraping support the location and session choices described below.
Select the location needed for the pages you want to review. Record that choice alongside each collection run.
Use separate sessions for independent requests or maintain one session for a related sequence of pages.
Record the request time, response status, and session settings so you can investigate failed or inconsistent results.
Choose the public URLs and fields your project needs before running a larger job.
Select the proxy product and available location options, then copy the connection details into your client.
Send a small set of requests. Check the response status, returned page, and expected location.
Use your collection program to schedule requests, parse results, and review logs as the task grows.
Keep the network request and the extracted fields together. This makes it easier to compare runs and understand whether a difference came from the source page, the session, or your parser.
Keep the web scraping proxy service configuration beside the request log so the proxy server for web scraping can be traced for each run.
Example layout only. Results, captures, and dates are completed after a real test.
Example request log
| Run ID | Target URL | Requested Location | Session Mode | HTTP Status | Retrieved At |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| run-1042 | https://example.com/catalog?page=1 | United States | Rotating | To be recorded | To be recorded |
| run-1043 | https://example.com/catalog?page=2 | United States | Rotating | To be recorded | To be recorded |
| run-1044 | https://example.com/product/item-77 | Germany | Sticky (configured window) | To be recorded | To be recorded |
{ "source_url": "https://example.com/catalog", "title": null, "extracted_at": null }Choose rotating sessions for independent collection requests. For a linked browsing sequence, test a sticky session and keep the sequence within the configured window. If the task needs a longer-lived fixed IP, review static residential proxies.
| Task | Suggested Product | Session Choice |
|---|---|---|
| Independent page requests | Dynamic Residential Proxies | Rotating sessions |
| Linked browsing steps | Dynamic Residential Proxies | Sticky session within the configured window |
| Persistent fixed-IP tasks | Static Residential Proxies | Allocated IP for the selected plan |
Add the proxy connection details to your scraper or HTTP client, choose the location and session settings, and test a small request set. Your scraper handles scheduling and extracts the fields from each response.
This page covers proxy connections. Parsing HTML, handling page structure, and storing extracted records are tasks for the scraper or data pipeline you connect.
Use the session behavior your task needs. Independent requests may use rotation, while a multi-step browsing sequence may need continuity. Test both against a small sample before choosing a policy.
Record the timestamp, target URL, response status, and relevant session settings. Remove credentials from logs before sharing them with your team or support.
Review the product options and follow the setup guide for your next test.
