Hey everyone,
I’ve just started using Python for web scraping and I’m considering Oxylabs for proxies. They seem to have a lot of options like residential proxies, datacenter proxies, and even something called next-gen scraping.
I’m mostly scraping large e-comm sites, so I need something decent, fast, and with good IP rotation. Has anyone here used Oxylabs for this kind of thing? Which proxies would you recommend for a project like this?
Also, any tips on setting them up with Python (like with Requests or BeautifulSoup) would be awesome. Thanks!
For your case, you can utilize our IP geolocation feature. This will help you change the IP and resolve your issue more effectively and smoothly. Please note that we have a set of IPs for specific regions, so some IPs may occasionally be repeated.
For e-commerce web scraping projects I’d recommend to check out nodemaven it has a good IP rotation,as you’ve mentioned, and IP filter (it’s important so the whole process of data collection is not slowed down by blocks).
And I’d recommend using residential proxies cause they are lessly detected in comparison to data center ones. This service also has a web scraping browser if you’re interested. I can’t tell much about oxylab cause I’ve tried it a long time ago.
About setting proxy with Python you can read in their blog on their website “How to Web Scrape a Table in Python [Step-by-Step Guide]”.
You can integrate Oxylabs proxies easily with requests and BeautifulSoup or with Scrapy.
