A residential proxy is an IP address provided by an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to homeowners. These IPs are associated with a physical location, making them appear as legitimate users browsing the web.
Residential proxies route your internet traffic through real residential IP addresses, making your requests appear as if they are coming from a genuine residential user.
They are less likely to be blocked or flagged by websites since they mimic real user traffic, making them ideal for tasks like web scraping, accessing geo-restricted content, and managing multiple social media accounts.
A proxy server acts as an intermediary between a user's device and the internet, forwarding requests and responses, often used for privacy, security, or accessing geo-restricted content.
Yes, a proxy server address is typically an IP address, sometimes accompanied by a port number, which identifies the specific proxy server you're connecting through.
The best proxy server depends on your needs. For web scraping, rotating residential proxies often work best. For general browsing, a reliable datacenter proxy might suffice. ZenRows offers both options.
To get a proxy from ZenRows, simply sign up for an account, choose a plan, and you'll receive access to our proxy network. You can then use these proxies through our API or integration tools. Implemented in minutes with our beginner-tested documentation and ready code samples.
With ZenRows, you don't need to manage individual IP addresses. Our system automatically assigns and rotates IP addresses for you when you make requests through our API.
Residential proxies use IP addresses assigned by ISPs, making them more trustworthy, while data center proxies use IPs from data centers, which are more likely to be detected and blocked.
To use a proxy for web scraping with ZenRows, simply make your scraping requests through our API. We handle proxy management, rotation, and optimization automatically, allowing you to focus on data extraction.
