Web scraping

Web scraping proxies
that don’t get blocked

Real 4G mobile SIMs, dedicated per customer, instantly rotatable via a single REST call. Built for targets protected by Cloudflare, PerimeterX, DataDome, Akamai Bot Manager and everything in between.

The scraping problem in 2026

Anti-bot stacks have caught up. Datacenter IPs get fingerprinted by ASN in milliseconds and blocked before the first request completes. Residential pools have become noisy, inconsistent, and often re-sold across so many customers that reputation is already burnt by the time you plug them in. Rate-limiting systems like Cloudflare Turnstile, PerimeterX and DataDome don’t just look at your IP — they correlate IP class, TLS fingerprint, header ordering, JS execution and browser fingerprint into a single trust score.

The IP layer is still the gate though. If your egress looks like a cloud provider or a known residential reseller, the rest of the stack never gets a chance. That’s what mobile proxies fix: your request enters the target from the same class of IP that every smartphone user in France or Iran uses every day.

Why 4G mobile proxies win for scraping

Four structural advantages you cannot get with datacenter or residential proxies.

Authentic carrier IP

Real 4G LTE SIM on Orange, SFR, Bouygues, Free or MCI. Your ASN matches what anti-bot stacks are trained to allow.

Dedicated — not pooled

One SIM per customer. No other scraper’s bad behaviour lands on your IP reputation.

Rotation that actually rotates

API call → modem re-registers with the carrier → fresh IP in 10–30 seconds. Works on every plan, unlimited volume on Pro.

Protocol-agnostic

HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5 on the same credentials. Works with every scraping library and browser automation tool ever written.

A working scraping loop in 25 lines

Standard Python requests with automatic rotation on 403/429 responses. Swap for Scrapy, Playwright or httpx with the same proxy URL.

  • API key scoped to proxy:rotate
  • Rotation averages 15 seconds end-to-end
  • Rate limit: 30 rotations / minute / key
  • Same credentials work across all protocols
import requests, os

PROXY_USER = os.environ["PG_USER"]
PROXY_PASS = os.environ["PG_PASS"]
PROXY_ID   = os.environ["PG_PROXY_ID"]
API_KEY    = os.environ["PG_API_KEY"]

gateway = f"http://{PROXY_USER}:{PROXY_PASS}@gateway.proxyglide.io:10234"
proxies = {"http": gateway, "https": gateway}

def rotate():
    requests.post(
        f"https://api.proxyglide.io/v1/proxies/{PROXY_ID}/rotate",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"},
        timeout=30,
    )

def fetch(url, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        r = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=30)
        if r.status_code == 200:
            return r
        if r.status_code in (403, 429):  # blocked or rate-limited
            rotate()
            continue
        r.raise_for_status()
    raise RuntimeError(f"all retries exhausted for {url}")

print(fetch("https://httpbin.org/ip").json())

Scraping FAQ

When should I use sticky sessions vs on-demand rotation for scraping?+

Sticky 24h sessions are for workflows that touch one domain across many requests — logged-in scrapes, cart flows, pagination over thousands of pages, anything where a session cookie matters. On-demand rotation is for bulk fan-out work where every request should look independent, or for recovery when a specific IP hits a rate limit.

Do mobile proxies help with CAPTCHAs and Cloudflare challenges?+

They materially reduce the challenge rate because carrier-assigned mobile IPs come pre-trusted by most anti-bot stacks. They will not make every CAPTCHA disappear — headless browser fingerprinting, JS execution and behavioural signals still matter. For tough targets, combine ProxyGlide with a browser stack like Playwright and realistic user-agents.

Can I run parallel scrapers on the same proxy?+

Yes, concurrency is not gated at the proxy level. What matters is the target site's rate limits: even on a clean mobile IP, hitting the same endpoint 100 times per second will draw attention. We recommend spreading concurrency across multiple proxies on different carriers (easy on our Pack plans) rather than hammering one IP.

What happens when a proxy IP gets blocked by a target?+

Trigger an on-demand rotation — the modem re-registers with the carrier and you get a fresh IP within 10–30 seconds. The carrier pool is large enough that you rarely see the same IP twice. If a block persists across rotations, the issue is usually fingerprinting, not the IP.

Do you support Python, Node.js, Go, Rust scrapers?+

Every language or library that speaks HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 proxies works. That covers requests, httpx, aiohttp, Scrapy, Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium, axios, fetch, net/http, reqwest — essentially everything. Credentials go in the standard proxy URL form: http://user:pass@gateway.proxyglide.io:10234.

Scraping is subject to our Acceptable Use Policy. Don’t scrape what you’re not allowed to scrape.

Ship your scraper with an IP that holds

Start with a single France proxy (€29/month) or a dedicated Iran MCI line. Scale up with Pack plans when the workload demands it.
