Where proxies fit into the work
Insight teams and academic researchers often need to record public information exactly as it appears in different places, whether that is a price, a listing, a search result or a published article.Collected from one office connection, that information describes one location only. Proxies in 55+ countries let your team gather publicly available data from each market under study, so cross-country comparisons rest on what people there actually see.
For large, repeated collection runs, datacenter proxies keep the cost per GB down; when a study depends on an accurate local view, residential proxies are the better fit. Keep every project within each site's terms of service and applicable law. The data collection page covers the method in more detail, and a study can be funded with a single order from the buy page.
Typical jobs
- ▸Market-research datasets from public sources
- ▸Price and listing comparisons between countries
- ▸Search and content visibility country by country
- ▸Repeat collection for studies over time
What changes for the team
Checked from the office, every page, ad or service answers as it would for one location, while people elsewhere are often shown something different. Running the same checks from the markets that matter, in 55+ countries and within each site's terms of service and applicable law, gives results that match what people there actually get.
Samples from each market
Gather publicly available data as it appears in 55+ countries, so comparisons between markets rest on local views rather than one office's.
Fits a fixed project budget
Datacenter proxies from $3.50/GB keep big collection runs inside a set budget, and per-GB billing makes the final cost easy to forecast.
No record of your requests
We keep no traffic logs, which helps when a project handles sensitive topics or has to meet confidentiality terms.
A method you can write up
Consistent endpoints and clear setup steps make the collection method easy to describe in a methodology section and repeat for a follow-up study.
Which plan covers which job
Each type is ordered on its own and billed per GB, with no contract, setup fee or minimum spend, so one account can hold several types at once. Types marked as recommended are where this kind of work usually starts.
| Workflow | Suggested plan | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Large collection runs from public sources | Datacenter from $3.50/GB | Keeps the cost of big, repeated runs low and predictable. |
| Comparing what consumers see in each country | Residential from $3.99/GB | Household IPs give the local view a cross-market study depends on. |
| Studies covering several regions at once | MIX packages | One residential order blended across a region such as Europe, Asia or the Americas. |

How a team gets set up
Three steps cover the path from first order to first useful check. The proxies use standard protocols, so they work in the browsers, SEO and monitoring tools and scripts your team already runs.
-
1
Size the first order
Estimate the gigabytes with the proxy calculator, then choose the type and amount on the buy page and pay by card or crypto.
-
2
Configure the plan
In the dashboard, pick password or IP-whitelist sign-in, the countries to use, rotating or sticky sessions and the protocol, then add the details to your tools.
-
3
Check, then roll out
Confirm the exit IP and location with the free network tools before the team relies on it. Agencies reselling access can automate client plans through the reseller API.
Settings the team controls
| Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on every plan. |
|---|---|
| Sign-in | Username and password for people who move between machines, or an IP whitelist for office and server addresses. |
| Sessions | Rotating IPs for broad sampling of public data, or sticky sessions that hold one address through a multi-step task. |
| Locations | 55+ countries, city-level options in key regions, and both desktop and mobile vantage points. Browse all locations → |
Rules your team works within
Proxies are a tool for legitimate research, verification and testing, and whoever runs the work stays responsible for the rules that apply to it.
Public data only
Use the network for publicly available information and compliant automation, inside each site's terms of service and the law that applies to you. A proxy gives no access to private or restricted content.
No traffic logs
We keep no logs of your traffic, and access is limited to your credentials or whitelisted IPs, which makes it easier to fit proxy use into your own data-handling policy.
No promises about platform outcomes
A proxy changes where requests come from, for legitimate checks and research. It cannot promise any result on an account or platform, and each platform's own terms always apply.
Playbooks for related workflows
Platform notes and setup advice for neighbouring tasks, plus plain-language guides for colleagues who are new to proxies.
