Proxy Use Cases FAQs

Common proxy use cases include web scraping, price monitoring, ecommerce research, ad verification, market research, SEO monitoring, browser automation, and accessing localized public web data. The best proxy type depends on the level of rotation, IP reputation, location targeting, and session stability required for the task.

Residential and rotating proxies are commonly used for web scraping because they help distribute requests across multiple IP addresses and locations. Static residential or ISP proxies can be a better fit when a workflow requires a consistent IP address or longer-lived sessions.

Start with the requirements of your workflow. If you need large-scale rotation, rotating proxies may be the best fit. If you need higher IP reputation or location coverage, residential proxies may be more suitable. For stable sessions, static residential or ISP proxies can be a stronger option.
