By rotating proxies, we mean the process of automatically switching from one IP to another with each request sent. In theory, this can be done manually, but it would mean that you couldn’t queue a list of URLs for scraping. Instead, you’d have to assign a proxy, send a request, assign another proxy, send another request, and so on. I hope you see how inefficient that would be.
For automatic proxy rotation, you’ll need a new intermediary, a proxy to your proxy, if you will. This new middle-man is a server that has access to your whole proxy pool. So instead of you searching through the IP list, the server does that for you. All you have to do is give it the command.
Here’s a play-by-play of the scraping process with a program that rotates proxies:
The user sends a request to the proxy management server.
The server picks a proxy at random (unless otherwise specified) and sends the request to it.
The proxy then sends the request to the final target, the webpage with data to extract.
The response takes the same route back to the user.
These four steps are repeated until the user has all the information he or she wants. Every request goes through a new proxy, simulating the actions of many different users connecting to a website.
So, in essence, rotating proxies take no extra work on your part. That’s the beauty of it. It’s more automation for a tool that’s already meant to gather tonnes of information without effort from the user.
Of course, for IP rotation, you need a proxy pool first and foremost. However, since not all proxies are the same, you need to gather the right IPs, too.
A residential proxy (or residential proxy server) is a device that sits in your home and routes requests on the internet for you. This article focuses on the benefits of using a residential proxy with a free trial, and how to get one. Here are some benefits:
-A residential proxy can help protect your privacy on the internet
-A residential proxy can provide more bandwidth, which means you will get faster speeds on streaming sites like Netflix
-Using a residential proxy can help stop advertisers from knowing who you are and targeting ads based on your browsing habits
