Can someone explain the HTTP proxy meaning and how it works in simple terms?

Hey! The http proxy meaning is pretty much what you described—it’s a server that sits between you and the internet.

But here’s something you might not know: proxies can also help with web scraping. Like, if you’re trying to gather data from a site without getting blocked, a proxy can make it look like the requests are coming from different places.

If you’re into that, check out ScraperAPI or GeoSurf. They’re great for that kind of stuff.
