}'Three network tiers
Residential Proxies
Route through real home internet connections. Residential IPs are assigned by ISPs to homeowners, making them virtually indistinguishable from regular users. Best for accessing sites with strict bot detection.
ISP Proxies
Data-center IPs registered to legitimate internet service providers. Faster than residential with good trust scores. Ideal for large-scale operations where speed matters more than stealth.
Mobile Proxies
Route through real 4G/5G cellular connections. Mobile IPs are shared by thousands of real users on carrier NAT, making them nearly impossible to block. Highest anonymity tier.
Frequently asked questions
What types of proxies does Spider offer?
Spider aggregates three proxy tiers: residential, ISP, and mobile. Residential proxies route through real home connections for the highest trust scores. ISP proxies use data-center IPs registered to internet service providers for fast, stable connections. Mobile proxies route through 4G/5G cellular networks for the lowest detection rates.
How many proxy locations are available?
Spider provides proxy coverage in 199+ countries across every inhabited continent. The total pool exceeds 200 million IPs, with the largest coverage in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Brazil, and Japan.
Do I need to manage proxy rotation myself?
No. Spider handles automatic IP rotation on every request. You can optionally pin a session to a single IP using sticky sessions, or let the system rotate IPs automatically for maximum anonymity.
How do I target a specific country?
Pass the two-letter ISO country code in the "country" parameter of your API request. For example, set "country": "de" to route through a German proxy. You can also specify proxy_type to choose between residential, ISP, or mobile.
What is the average proxy latency?
Residential proxies average 150-300ms depending on the target country. ISP proxies average 50-120ms. Mobile proxies average 200-500ms. Spider automatically selects the fastest available proxy in your target location.
Is there a bandwidth limit on proxy usage?
There are no hard bandwidth caps. You pay per successful request using credits. Each proxy request costs 1 credit for standard pages and 5 credits for JavaScript-rendered pages. Unused credits roll over month to month.
Can I use proxies with headless browsers?
Yes. Spider's proxy network integrates directly with its headless browser infrastructure. Enable proxy_enabled alongside browser rendering for stealth browsing that combines residential IPs with real browser fingerprints.
Do you support SOCKS5 or HTTP CONNECT proxies?
Spider's proxy network is accessed through the REST API rather than raw SOCKS5/HTTP CONNECT. This approach provides automatic rotation, geo-targeting, and retry logic without any client-side proxy configuration.
How does pricing work for proxy requests?
Proxy requests use the same credit-based pricing as all Spider API calls. Enable proxy mode by setting "proxy_enabled": true. There are no separate proxy fees, bandwidth charges, or minimum commitments.
What happens if a proxy request fails?
Spider automatically retries failed requests with a different IP from the pool. If the first proxy times out or returns an error, the system selects another IP in the same country and retries. This happens transparently with no extra cost for retries.
The Developer's Guide to Proxy Infrastructure
What Are Residential Proxies?
Residential proxies route your requests through IP addresses assigned by internet service providers to real households. Unlike data-center proxies that originate from cloud servers, residential IPs carry the trust signature of genuine consumer connections. When a target website sees a request from a residential IP, it appears identical to a regular user browsing from their home network.
This distinction matters because modern anti-bot systems classify traffic by IP type. Data-center IP ranges are well-documented and often flagged preemptively. Residential IPs bypass these filters because they share the same address space as legitimate visitors. Spider aggregates residential IPs from ethically sourced peer networks across 199+ countries, ensuring broad geographic coverage without relying on a single provider.
How Spider's Proxy Network Works
Spider operates as a proxy aggregator, maintaining connections to multiple upstream proxy providers and managing the routing layer for you. When you send a request with "proxy_enabled": true, the system selects the best available IP based on your target country, requested proxy type, and current pool health.
Every request goes through automatic rotation unless you specify a sticky session. The rotation engine considers IP freshness, recent success rate, and target-site compatibility when selecting the next IP. Failed requests trigger automatic retry with a different IP from the same country — no extra configuration needed.
The entire proxy layer is accessed through the same REST API used for crawling and scraping. There are no separate proxy endpoints, authentication tokens, or connection strings to manage. This unified approach means you can combine proxy routing with headless browser rendering, JavaScript execution, and AI-powered data extraction in a single API call.
Proxy Use Cases for Developers
Web scraping at scale requires proxies to distribute requests across many IPs and avoid rate limiting. Spider's proxy network handles the distribution layer automatically — you specify the target URL and country, and the system manages IP selection, rotation, and retry logic.
Price monitoring applications use geo-targeted proxies to check region-specific pricing. E-commerce sites display different prices based on visitor location, making country-level proxy targeting essential for accurate competitive intelligence.
Ad verification teams use residential proxies to view ads as real users see them, detecting fraud and verifying placement across geographic markets. SEO professionals use proxies to check search rankings from different countries without triggering Google's bot detection.
Market research operations collect public data from social media, review sites, and forums. Residential and mobile proxies provide the trust level needed to access these platforms reliably at scale.
Why Developers Choose Spider for Proxies
Traditional proxy providers sell raw IP access and leave the infrastructure management to you. You handle rotation logic, retry mechanisms, health checking, and geographic targeting in your own code. Spider eliminates this operational overhead by integrating proxy management directly into the crawling API.
A single API parameter — "proxy_enabled": true — activates the entire proxy pipeline. Add "country": "us" to target a specific location. Add "proxy_type": "residential" to select a proxy tier. The system handles everything else: IP selection, rotation timing, failure detection, and automatic retry.
Credit-based pricing means you pay per successful request with no bandwidth metering, minimum commitments, or separate proxy fees. The same credits work for proxy-enabled requests, headless browser sessions, and AI extraction — simplifying cost management for teams that use multiple Spider features.
With 200M+ IPs across 199 countries, three proxy tiers, and automatic rotation built into every request, Spider provides enterprise-grade proxy infrastructure through a developer-friendly API.
