Struggling with reliable residential proxies for web scraping, any recs?
hey everyone, i've been working on a new data collection project for my SaaS, focusing on competitive pricing analysis. it's been a real headache getting consistent data.
the main issue is constantly getting blocked or flagged. i've tried a few different residential proxies providers, but the success rate is just too low, especially when targeting specific e-commerce sites. it feels like i'm spending more time debugging than actually collecting data.
i've experimented with rotating IPs, different geo-locations (US, UK, Germany), and even custom user-agents. i also tried increasing delays between requests, but then the whole process becomes too slow to be practical.
often, after just a few requests, i get hit with a captcha or a flat-out 403 forbidden. here's a typical error log snippet i see constantly:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Tue, 14 May 2024 10:30:00 GMT
Server: Cloudflare
Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8
CF-RAY: 883f0d2c8f6e2e0e-FRA
<html><head><title>Access denied</title></head><body><h1>Error 1020 Access denied</h1><p>This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks.</p></body></html>i need a provider that offers genuinely high-quality, undetectable residential proxies with good rotation and a decent success rate for large-scale scraping. cost is a factor, but reliability is paramount right now.
does anyone here have experience with a proxy provider that consistently works well for web scraping without getting immediately blocked? i'm open to all suggestions, even if they're a bit pricier.
waiting for an expert reply or some solid recommendations, thanks in advance!
