By target

Which proxy suits which site

The right setup depends on what the target watches for. A retail price sweep and a social profile session need opposite things from a proxy: one wants a new address on every request, the other wants the same address for hours. These pages cover both per site.

Retail and marketplace price monitoring

Catalogue, price and stock data that changes by region and by the hour. Rotating residential suits the sweep; the exit country decides which catalogue you see.

Limited releases and ticketing

High demand windows where inventory moves in seconds and regional catalogues differ. Frequent polling from one address is the fastest way to get blocked.

Search engines

SERP data is personalised and localised, so the exit location changes the result set more than any other factor.

Where to go next

If you are choosing a rotation mode or a tool rather than a target, these cover the other two axes.

  • Rotating proxies, a new IP on every request, which suits collection and price sweeps
  • Sticky proxies, one address held for a session, which suits profile and checkout work
  • Integration guides, working config for Scrapy, Puppeteer, Playwright and the antidetect browsers
  • Use cases, the same question framed by the job rather than the site
  • US proxies, when the market matters more than the target
  • Germany proxies, the same for the EU, where consent banners and pricing differ
  • Australia proxies, and for APAC, where catalogues diverge most
  • Brazil proxies, and LATAM, where currency and availability shift hardest
FAQ

Choosing proxies by target site: FAQ

Do different sites really need different proxy setups?
Yes, mainly along one axis: whether the target rewards a fresh address per request or a stable one. Price sweeps and search results favour rotation. Anything with a logged in session, a basket or a profile favours sticky addresses.
Residential or datacenter for these targets?
Residential for consumer facing sites, because the address belongs to a real home connection and is treated with less suspicion. Datacenter is faster and cheaper where the target does not scrutinise the network the request came from.
Does the exit country matter?
On most of these, more than people expect. Catalogues, pricing, currency, search rankings and trending content all change by market, so a US address shows you the US view rather than the local one.
Can I use one plan across all of them?
Yes. Residential, datacenter, mobile and IPv6 are included in every plan, with rotating and sticky on the same gateway, so you switch per request rather than buying separate products.
Is scraping these sites allowed?
That depends on each site's terms and the law where you operate, and it is your responsibility to check. Proxies change the address a request comes from. They do not change what you are permitted to do.
