Proxyrack Alternative - Simplify Web Scraping with ProxiesAPI

Sep 30, 2023 ยท 2 min read

The Trouble with Proxyrack

Proxyrack offers various types of proxy servers, including:

  • Residential proxies
  • Datacenter proxies
  • Static IPs
  • Global rotating IPs
  • However, Proxyrack has some limitations:

  • Complex pricing tiers based on data and threads
  • Residential proxies are unmetered with usage limits
  • Prepaid credits model can get expensive
  • No built-in features like CAPTCHA solving
  • For basic web scraping needs, this robust proxy infrastructure is overkill. A simpler API-based solution is required.

    ProxiesAPI - Simple Scraping API

    ProxiesAPI simplifies web scraping down to one API call:

    curl "<http://api.proxiesapi.com/?key=API_KEY&url=https://example.com>"
    

    This returns the full HTML of any webpage. Behind the scenes, ProxiesAPI handles:

  • Proxy Rotation - Each request uses a different proxy and IP.
  • Browser Identities - Randomized user agents and headers.
  • Automatic Retries - Retries failed requests.
  • CAPTCHA Solving - Automatically solves CAPTCHAs.
  • Javascript Rendering - Returns fully loaded DOM.
  • Pricing is simple at $23/month for 250,000 requests, with unlimited bandwidth.
