Proxies
Route scraping requests through proxy servers.
Why use proxies?
Proxies help with:
- Geo-targeting — access region-specific content by routing through a proxy in that country
- Load distribution — spread requests across multiple IPs to stay within target sites' fair-use limits
- Reliability — keep extractions running smoothly when your home IP is throttled or temporarily unreachable
Adding a proxy
- Go to Proxies in the sidebar
- Click New Proxy
- Enter the proxy details: host, port, username, and password
- Save
Proxy protocols
ScrapeSpace connects to proxies over HTTP.
Using proxies
When running an agent task, open Run settings and select a proxy from the dropdown. All browser traffic for that task will be routed through the selected proxy.
Proxy health
If a proxy is unreachable or returns errors during job execution, the job will fail with an error message. Make sure your proxy credentials are correct and the proxy server is accessible before running tasks.
