Track pricing, stock and promotions on Amazon.fr, Cdiscount, Digikala and every marketplace that rate-limits datacenter traffic within the first few requests.
Marketplaces run dynamic pricing, promotional A/B tests and inventory-driven discounts. Their revenue depends on competitors *not* seeing their real prices in real time — so their anti-scraping posture is aggressive. DataDome, PerimeterX, Akamai Bot Manager and in-house ML models combine IP class, TLS fingerprint, JS execution signals and behavioural patterns to block datacenter IPs within a handful of requests.
Mobile 4G proxies sit in the same IP class that millions of real shoppers use every day. The anti-scraping stack still runs — you still need realistic headers, session handling and pacing — but the IP layer is no longer the bottleneck. Pages load with the regional pricing, stock status and promotions the marketplace actually serves its customers.
French shoppers see French prices; Iranian shoppers see rial-denominated inventory. Your data matches the target audience’s reality.
Hold the same IP for up to 24 hours — essential for cart-based dynamic pricing and shipping-estimate audits.
Spread catalogue refreshes across Orange, SFR, Bouygues and Free so no single IP block does all the work.
Hit a rate limit? One API call gives you a new carrier IP in 15 seconds. Continue where you left off.
Monitor pricing in France, Iran, or both.
All of them — but especially the ones that aggressively block datacenter traffic. In France: Amazon.fr, Cdiscount, Fnac, Darty, Manomano, LeBonCoin, Leroy Merlin, Rakuten. In Iran: Digikala, Snapp Market, Basalam, Torob. These sites run tight anti-scraping (DataDome, PerimeterX, custom rules) that reliably blocks datacenter IPs but serves mobile IPs normally.
Use a 24-hour sticky session. Marketplaces that personalize price by cart state (user, location, history) track session continuity — if your IP changes mid-cart, you either get logged out or get a fresh anonymous price. Sticky sessions let you maintain a single 'user identity' across add-to-cart, shipping estimate and checkout preview.
Depends on the target’s tolerance and the concurrency you run. A single mobile proxy sustains roughly 500–2,000 non-cart page fetches per hour on most marketplaces before reputation degrades. Full daily refresh of 100K products is realistic with 3–5 proxies in parallel; hourly refresh needs a Pack of 10 or custom plan.
In most jurisdictions, scraping publicly listed prices for competitive intelligence falls under legitimate business use — the Ryanair v PR Aviation and similar rulings establish that accessing public information programmatically is not, by itself, unlawful. Each marketplace’s terms of service still apply contractually. This is a question for your legal team, not ours.
Yes — that’s one of the reasons we built dedicated Iran infrastructure. Digikala, Snapp!, Basalam and Torob all detect and slow foreign traffic heavily. A real MCI mobile IP from Isfahan blends in and returns the same catalogue data a local shopper would see, including region-gated promotions.
One proxy per market to start. Scale with Pack plans when catalogue size and refresh frequency demand it.
