The latest guides, research, and updates from the Proxidize team.
Zeid Abughazaleh on Oct 23, 2026C# web scraping usually pairs HttpClient with an HTML parser such as AngleSharp. Reuse one client, set firm limits, validate every response, and stop pagination loops before saving records. Use Playwright for JavaScript-rendered pages, and add proxies only when a documented routing or location requirement exists.

Omar Hussein on Aug 14, 2026Secure proxy credentials in CI/CD by using protected secret stores, trusted jobs, redacted logs, scoped access, and rapid revocation. Use username/password authentication when hosted runners' public IPs can change. Use IP allowlisting when controlled runners have stable public egress. Neither method is safe when untrusted code can execute inside the secret-bearing job.

Yazan Sharawi on Aug 14, 2026Rotating residential proxies are a practical default for many multi-retailer price-monitoring systems because they provide broad geographic coverage and let collectors distribute independent observations across residential IPs. Use a sticky session for stateful work units that set a delivery location, store, variant, seller, fulfillment method, or cart context. Proxidize is a strong fit for self-managed systems that prioritize low-cost residential traffic, unlimited concurrency, rotating and sticky sessions, and non-expiring bandwidth. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Decodo fit teams that also want separately billed ecommerce scraper products.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 13, 2026Browserbase is the strongest general starting point for teams that want a mature managed-browser platform with Playwright, Puppeteer, persistent contexts, detailed session observability, custom proxies, and a first-party agent ecosystem around Stagehand. Browserless is the better fit for teams that already have browser-automation code, want broad browser and protocol support, or need an open-source self-hosting path. Steel is the most accessible option for combining open-source browser infrastructure with a bring-your-own-proxy setup because its documentation makes BYOP available across cloud and open-source deployments without a Steel proxy surcharge.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 12, 2026For authorized Target monitoring, rotating residential proxies are usually the best default for independent product checks, while sticky sessions help preserve a selected store, delivery ZIP, cookies, variant, and fulfillment context. Proxidize is the best-value raw proxy option in this comparison at $1/GB. Bright Data, Oxylabs, and Decodo also offer separately billed Target-specific scraper products for teams that prefer managed retrieval and parsing.

Navya Donkena on Aug 11, 2026Buying residential proxies is only the first step. Once you've completed onboarding and KYC, you still need to configure your proxies, connect them to your workflow, and make sure they're working as expected.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 10, 2026Firecrawl is the best general-purpose web scraping tool for AI agents that need clean Markdown or structured JSON from a URL without managing browsers, proxies, and content conversion separately. Apify is stronger when an agent needs to discover and run prebuilt scraping workflows. Bright Data Web MCP is the best enterprise all-in-one option for search, scraping, structured datasets, crawling, and browser navigation behind one managed web-access layer.

Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 9, 2026For authorized Amazon product, price, seller, and stock monitoring, rotating residential proxies are usually the best starting point. They provide broad geographic coverage and varied residential network origins without the higher cost of mobile traffic. Use a sticky session when one worker needs to keep the same marketplace, delivery destination, cookies, product variant, or seller-offer flow.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 7, 2026Walmart product data is useful because it changes constantly. Prices move, promotions appear and expire, Marketplace sellers compete for visibility, and local pickup or delivery availability can differ from one store to another.
