Hey! I’ve been using endpoints smartproxy for a while now, and honestly, rotating IPs is a lifesaver. I let the tool handle it automatically—way less hassle. For rate limits, I usually set a delay between requests (like 2-3 seconds) and it works like a charm.
For scraping, I mix residential and datacenter proxies too. It’s not overkill if you’re dealing with heavy traffic. I use residential for sensitive sites and datacenter for bulk data.
As for timeouts, I retry failed requests 2-3 times with a delay. If it still fails, I tweak the config or switch proxies.
Check out tools like Scrapy or Postman for testing API calls—super helpful!
