Residential Proxy

Residential proxies route your requests through real household IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers. These are the most difficult proxy type for websites to detect and block, making them the best choice for scraping sites with aggressive anti-bot measures.

Set the proxyType parameter to Residential to enable this option. Each request using a residential proxy costs an additional 10 credits. See Credit Usage for details.

When To Use This

  • Heavily protected websites - Sites with aggressive bot detection (e.g., e-commerce platforms, social media) are less likely to block residential IPs.
  • Geotargeted scraping - Residential proxies have the largest selection of countries and cities. See Available Countries and Available Cities.
  • Price monitoring and comparison - Access region-specific pricing by routing through residential IPs in the target market.
  • Ad verification - Verify that ads display correctly in specific geographic regions using real local IP addresses.
  • High success rate requirements - When reliability is more important than cost, residential proxies deliver the highest success rates.

Tip: Residential proxies cost twice as much as Data Center Proxies. If your target site doesn’t have strong bot detection and you don’t need specific geolocation, data center proxies are a more cost-effective alternative.
