Which proxies are best for parsing?

It depends on the task. Dynamic Datacenter proxies suit large volumes of independent requests, Residential suits geo-dependent sites and a user network context, and Mobile is for when a mobile network context is required. Static Datacenter and Static ISP fit processes that need a permanent IP.

Can the IP change on every request?

Yes. Residential, Mobile and the dynamic Datacenter pool of PSB Proxy support changing the IP on every request or on a rotation timer.

Can I keep one IP for the duration of parsing?

Yes. Dynamic pools support sticky sessions with a TTL from 1 to 1000 minutes; the recommended value is no more than 30 minutes. For a permanent IP, use Static Datacenter or Static ISP.

Can I choose a country or city?

Yes. Dynamic pools support country, state or region, city, ZIP and ASN. Actual availability of specific locations may change.

Which proxy type suits large-scale web scraping?

For large volumes of independent requests, dynamic Datacenter proxies are usually the best fit thanks to rotation and lower traffic cost.

Which protocols are supported?

All PSB Proxy pools support HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5.

Is there an API for integrating with a parser?

Yes. PSB Proxy provides a Public API for integration and managing proxy settings.

Does purchased traffic expire?

No. Purchased traffic never expires.

Yes, a trial is available for the service.

How many ports can be used at once?

The standard limit is up to 2,500 ports. It can be raised on request.

Which authentication methods are available?

Login and password, IP whitelist and token are available.

Can the proxies be used for any website?

You must comply with the rules of target resources and applicable law. Banking and government websites are technically blocked for use through PSB Proxy.

What are parsing and web scraping

Parsing is the processing and structuring of data: a program takes source content and extracts the elements it needs — for example prices, product names, specifications, links or search result positions.

Web scraping is the broader process of automated data collection from web pages. It usually includes loading pages, retrieving the needed content and then parsing the collected data.

In practice the terms are often used interchangeably. The main difference is that web scraping describes the whole process of collecting data from a site, while parsing is the step of analysing and converting the collected information into a convenient structure.

Term	What happens	Example
Web scraping	Automated retrieval of data from web pages	Collect product pages of an online store
Parsing	Extracting and structuring the needed elements from the collected content	Extract the product name, price, availability and URL

Why use proxies for web scraping

Proxies let you spread requests across IPs, get geo-dependent public content and control network session length during automated data collection.

Request distribution

Send independent requests through different IPs of the dynamic pool and choose the right rotation mode.

Geo-dependent data

Get public content as it is shown to users in the chosen country, region or city.

Long sessions

Pin the IP when a sequence of requests needs a single network context.

Automation

Connect proxies to scripts and internal tools via standard protocols and the Public API.

Which proxies to choose for parsing

The proxy type depends on the nature of the data, the request volume and whether a geographic or user network context is needed.

BULK REQUESTS

Datacenter

Dynamic server IPs for large volumes of independent requests and tasks where traffic cost matters.

GEO-DEPENDENT DATA

Residential

IPs of real user connections for local content, SERP, e-commerce and price monitoring.

From $1.20 / GBResidential proxies →

MOBILE CONTEXT

Mobile

IPs of real mobile carriers for sites and data where the mobile connection type matters.

From $2.10 / GBMobile proxies →

PERMANENT SERVER IP

Static Datacenter

A fixed server IP for a month for integrations and processes that need a permanent address.

What you can collect with proxies

01 · PRICE DATA

Price monitoring

Collect public prices, discounts and price changes for products across regions.

02 · MARKETPLACES

Catalogs and marketplaces

Get available data on products, categories, specifications and stock.

03 · SERP

Search results

Check SERPs and local search results for different countries and cities.

04 · COMPETITORS

Competitor analysis

Collect public data on offers, assortment and changes on competitor websites.

05 · RESEARCH

Market research

Use public data to analyse the market, offers and regional differences.

06 · LOCAL QA

Local content checks

Check language, currency, offers, redirects and regional versions of websites.

Which proxy type to choose for web scraping

Proxy type	How the IP works	Best for	Price from
Datacenter	Server IPs, rotation per request or on a timer	Large volumes of independent requests	$0.70 / GB
Residential	Real user IPs, dynamic pool	Geo-dependent data, SERP, e-commerce	$1.20 / GB
Mobile	Mobile carrier IPs	Mobile-specific content and mobile versions of sites	$2.10 / GB
Static Datacenter	One server IP for a month	Integrations and processes with a permanent IP	$1 / IP / month
Static ISP	A permanent ISP IP for a month	Long processes with a permanent ISP context	$2 / IP / month

Dynamic Datacenter proxies usually suit large-scale web scraping. If the data depends on geography or the user connection type, use Residential or Mobile. For whitelist integrations and a permanent address, Static Datacenter or Static ISP are the right fit.

Ready-made configurations for parsing tasks

Pick a ready-made configuration for your request volume, geography and session length requirements.

Bulk data collection

Type: Dynamic Datacenter
Rotation: On every request
Session: Not required
Geo: As needed

For a large number of independent requests and projects where traffic cost matters.

Regional price monitoring

Type: Residential
Rotation: Per request or on a timer
Geo: Country / city / ZIP
Session: If needed

For stores, catalogs and marketplaces where data depends on location.

Collecting data from the mobile version

Type: Mobile
Rotation: Per request or sticky
Geo: Country / region / city
Session: 1–1000 minutes

For tasks where data must be retrieved through a mobile carrier network.

Long request sequence

Type: Residential / Mobile / Static ISP
IP: Sticky or permanent
TTL: Up to 1000 minutes for dynamic
Recommendation: Up to 30 minutes for sticky

For processes where consecutive requests must keep a single network context.

Control IP changes while parsing

Residential, Mobile and dynamic Datacenter proxies offer different IP modes.

01 · EVERY REQUEST

A new IP for independent requests

Use automatic address changes when requests don't need to keep a single network context.

The IP changes on every request.

02 · ON A TIMER

Predictable IP changes

Set how long to keep one address, after which the pool assigns another IP.

TTL: 1 to 1000 minutes.

03 · STICKY

One IP for a sequence

Keep the IP for a series of related requests.

Recommended value: up to 30 minutes.
