Web Scraping Proxies

Web Scraping Proxies

Web Scraping Proxies are proxies used specifically for web scraping to avoid detection and blocking by websites. Proxies act as intermediaries between the scraper and the target website, masking the scraper's IP address and distributing requests across multiple IP addresses. This helps prevent the scraper from being flagged and blocked due to excessive requests from a single IP. Proxies can also be used to bypass geographical restrictions and access content that may be limited to certain regions. Using web scraping proxies is crucial for maintaining anonymity and ensuring uninterrupted access to data during web scraping operations.
