BotProxy is a web scraping tool that offers seamless proxy rotation, fresh IPs, and anti-detect features to overcome IP bans and detection systems. It allows quick setup and provides geographically distributed IPs for reliable data access. Ideal for scraping projects without technical hassles, with plans starting at $10/month.
Features
Seamless Proxy Rotation
Access all proxies via a single endpoint with BotProxy's session feature, rotating IPs with every request to ensure anonymity and reliability.
Fresh IPs
Utilizes fresh datacenter proxies with IPv4/IPv6 support, providing around 1000 open proxies ready for use.
Anti-Detect Mode
Spoofs TLS fingerprints to mimic legitimate browsers, helping to avoid detection by sophisticated anti-bot systems and ensuring data access without interruptions.
Quick Setup
Integrations take less than 5 minutes, making it easy to add BotProxy to any script or application.
IP Rotation
Automatically rotate IP addresses to prevent rate limiting and unblock access to web resources. Select IPs from different geographical locations for testing or scraping. This feature helps in avoiding detection by frequently switching the IPs used to access target sites.
Static Exit Node
Allows users to configure requests to come from a specific exit node, retaining a consistent IP address. Ideal for scenarios where request origin must remain static, such as maintaining login sessions or consistent access across multiple requests.
Advanced Location Selection
Enables choosing IPs from specific countries to simulate requests from particular locales. Users can configure the service to use exit nodes from preferred locations, aiding in testing how websites behave for users in different regions.
Custom User-Agent Headers
Set specific user-agent headers to mimic requests from different browsers and devices. This customization helps in simulating requests from various platforms for compatibility and responsiveness testing.
Session Management
Offers features like session persistence which helps in maintaining the same IP for the duration of a session. It's useful for activities like login maintenance where a consistent identifier is needed across multiple requests.
Free Trial without Registration
Users can access a free trial to test the service on any website without needing to register. This helps determine if the service fits their use case before committing.
Bigger Traffic Plans Discounts
Discounts are available for bigger traffic plans. Users can start with a public plan and contact the service when a limit is reached for discounts.
Single Proxy Management
Only a single proxy needs to be configured by the user. The service manages routing through multiple outgoing proxy servers.
New IP per Request Support
The service supports getting a new IP for each request by following specific rotation guidelines in their documentation.
IP Whitelisting
Offers IP whitelisting as an authentication alternative to using login and password, making it more secure and user-friendly to manage access.
PayPal Payments Only
Payments for the service can only be made using PayPal, as Bitcoin is not accepted.
Rotating Proxies Integration
Provides instructions on setting up rotating proxies with Selenium and ChromeDriver, allowing the user to automatically change IP addresses during web scraping to avoid IP bans.
Proxy Authentication
Details how to manage proxy authentication by including the user's proxy server credentials directly within the Selenium script, ensuring secure and authenticated web scraping.
Custom User-Agent Configuration
Explains how to set user-agent strings within the Selenium WebDriver, enabling users to mimic different browsers or devices, enhancing the strategy against being blocked or flagged as a bot.
Chrome Extension Setup
Describes creating and using a custom Chrome extension for handling proxy settings, making it easier to integrate rotating proxies with browser automation tasks.
HTTP Proxy Tunneling
Allows tunneling TCP traffic through an HTTP proxy using the "connect" command. This helps in establishing secure TCP connections for applications and protocols other than HTTP. All data between the client and destination is encrypted, rendering the information unintelligible to unauthorized entities.
IP Rotation
Supports IP rotation allowing each new connection to ensure a new IP from a pool of available addresses. This prevents IP blocking and is suitable for applications that require different IP addresses for each session.
Puppeteer Integration
The page describes how to use Puppeteer with rotating proxies, allowing users to control the Chrome browser through JS code. This includes tasks such as generating screenshots and PDFs, creating SPAs and server-side rendered content, automating form submissions, and more.
Rotating Proxies
It explains the implementation of rotating proxy servers with Puppeteer to anonymize and protect identity. The setup allows the use of different IP addresses from a proxy service, ensuring privacy and IP address rotation during automated tasks.
Header Control
The example provided shows how to set custom headers when making requests, allowing additional control over browser requests and interactions, which is useful for sites that require specific headers to be accessed.
Authentication Handling
Provides information on setting up authentication through special headers in cases where basic authentication is needed, using a package like 'proxy-chain' to manage dynamic proxy server credentials.
Middleware for IP Rotating Proxy
By using BotProxy's middleware with Scrapy, you can automatically rotate your outgoing IP address. You need to create a Python middleware file and configure your project settings to use the proxy. This helps bypass IP bans and improve request anonymity.
Easy Proxy Configuration
Provides step-by-step instructions for setting up Scrapy with IP rotating proxies, making it accessible even for those new to web scraping. The guide includes necessary code snippets to implement the proxy middleware effectively.
Mask Your TLS Fingerprint
Modify your TLS fingerprint to reduce the chance of detection by Cloudflare's anti-bot systems by mimicking legitimate browsers' behavior.
Leverage BotProxy's Bot Anti-Detect Mode
Use BotProxy's Bot Anti-Detect Mode to automatically spoof TLS fingerprints and prevent scraping blocks by mimicking legitimate browser traffic, which helps avoid detection.
Use a Rotating Proxy to Hide Your IP
Employ rotating proxies to distribute requests across multiple IPs, which reduces the risk of detection and bypasses Cloudflare's IP-based filters.
Customize and Rotate User Agent Headers
Change and rotate user agent headers to mimic requests from different browsers, minimizing detection by Cloudflare.
