Best Practices for Managing a Web Scraping Proxy Pool: How Do You Keep It Reliable?

27 Replies, 2146 Views

Hey there! I’ve been in the same boat with my web scraping proxy pool. It’s a constant battle, right?

I swear by Smartproxy—they’ve got a good balance of cost and performance. For rotation, I use their API to auto-switch proxies every few requests.

To avoid IP bans, I mix in some mobile proxies. They’re a bit pricier, but they’ve saved me a ton of headaches.

Also, don’t forget to randomize your headers! It’s a small thing, but it makes a big difference.
