Tor Proxy

Tor proxies route your requests through the Tor anonymity network, providing the highest level of anonymity available. This is the only proxy type that can access .onion websites (hidden services on the dark web).

Set the proxyType parameter to Tor to enable this option. Each request using a Tor proxy costs an additional 1 credit. See Credit Usage for details.

When To Use This

• Accessing .onion websites - Tor is the only way to reach hidden services on the Tor network. This is required for dark web research, security analysis, or accessing content only available via .onion domains.
• Maximum anonymity - When you need the strongest possible anonymity layer for your scraping traffic.
• Low-cost anonymous proxy - At just 1 extra credit, Tor is the cheapest proxy option after free proxies.

Caveat: Tor exit nodes are well-known and widely blacklisted. Many websites will block Tor traffic or trigger CAPTCHAs. If you’re scraping standard websites, Data Center or Residential proxies will provide better success rates.
