Looking for a Reliable Proxy Scrapper – Any Recommendations? or How Often Should I Update My Proxy Sc - ghostByteX88 - 17-12-2024
"Looking for a Reliable Proxy Scrapper – Any Recommendations?"
Hey everyone,
I’ve been testing a few proxy scrappers lately, but most either give dead proxies or stop working after a day. Super frustrating!
Anyone got a solid proxy scrapper they swear by? Free or paid, doesn’t matter as long as it’s reliable.
Bonus points if it’s easy to integrate with Python.
Thanks in advance!

"How Often Should I Update My Proxy Scrapper to Avoid Bans?"
Yo,
Running a proxy scrapper for a project, but getting hit with bans way too often.
How frequently do you guys refresh your proxy lists? Daily? Hourly?
Also, any tips to make the scrapper less detectable?
Appreciate any advice!

"Does Anyone Have a Fast and Free Proxy Scrapper That Actually Works?"
Alright, real talk—I’ve tried like 5 "free" proxy scrappers this week, and all of them are either slow or just don’t work.
Anyone know of a hidden gem that’s actually fast *and* free?
Or am I just dreaming here? Lol.

"What’s the Best Proxy Scrapper for Large-Scale Data Collection?"
Hey folks,
Need a proxy scrapper that can handle heavy-duty scraping—think thousands of requests per hour.
Paid options are fine, but it’s gotta be worth the $$$.
Any favorites?
Cheers!

"Is There a Proxy Scrapper That Bypasses CAPTCHAs Effectively?"
Ugh, CAPTCHAs are the worst.
My current proxy scrapper keeps getting blocked. Anyone using one that actually dodges these consistently?
Or am I stuck solving puzzles forever?
Help a fellow scraper out!

Hey! I feel your pain with dead proxies. I've been using ScraperAPI for a while now, and it’s been solid.
It’s paid, but the free tier is decent for testing. Works great with Python—just a simple API call.
Also, check out ProxyScrape for free lists. Not perfect, but better than most.

Yo, if you're getting bans, you gotta rotate proxies way more often. I refresh mine every 15-30 mins.
Try using rotating IPs from Luminati (now Bright Data). A bit pricey, but worth it if you're serious.
Also, slow down your requests—no one likes a bot that goes brrrr.

Lol, dreaming? Maybe. But try ProxyList+ from GitHub. It’s free and updates hourly.
Not the fastest, but it’s legit. Pair it with aiohttp in Python, and you’re golden.

For large-scale scraping, you NEED Smartproxy. Handles thousands of requests like a champ.
A bit costly, but their residential proxies are unbeatable. Also, their API is Python-friendly.

CAPTCHAs suck, but you can try 2Captcha + your proxy scrapper. It’s a paid service, but it auto-solves them.
Otherwise, use headless browsers like Puppeteer-extra with stealth plugins.

Thanks for all the recs, guys! Gonna test out ScraperAPI and ProxyList+ first.
Quick Q—anyone know if these work well with Scrapy, or should I stick to requests/aiohttp?
Also, shoutout to the CAPTCHA tips—definitely trying 2Captcha. You all rock!

Free and reliable? Good luck, mate. But honestly, ScrapeOps has a free tier that’s surprisingly good.
Just don’t expect miracles—free proxies are always hit or miss.

If you’re tired of dead proxies, check out Oxylabs. Their proxy scrapper is top-tier for reliability.
Yeah, it’s paid, but you get what you pay for. Their docs even have Python examples.
