01What is a Proxy Aggregator?+
A proxy aggregator is an all-in-one proxy solution that gives you access to 20+ proxy providers through a single endpoint. Instead of signing up with multiple proxy services, testing each one, and switching when one gets blocked, you can use ScrapeOps Proxy Aggregator to automatically route your requests through the best-performing proxy provider for your target website. It eliminates the hassle of managing multiple proxy accounts and handles provider switching automatically.
02What’s the difference between the Proxy API Aggregator and Residential Proxy Aggregator?+
The key difference is how you’re charged and what they’re optimized for. The Proxy API Aggregator charges per successful request and is built specifically for web scraping. It includes anti-bot bypasses, JavaScript rendering, and automatic retries. The Residential Proxy Aggregator charges per bandwidth consumed and gives you direct access to residential/mobile IP pools, which is ideal for headless browsers, automation bots, or any application that needs real residential IPs with sticky sessions.
03When should I use the Proxy API Aggregator?+
Use the Proxy API Aggregator when you’re building web scrapers and want a simple, pay-per-success model. It’s best when you need built-in anti-bot bypasses, JavaScript rendering for dynamic pages, and automatic handling of CAPTCHAs and blocks. You send a URL, and it returns the HTML. No need to manage proxy rotation or handle failures yourself.
04When should I use the Residential Proxy Aggregator?+
Use the Residential Proxy Aggregator when you need direct proxy connections for headless browsers (Playwright, Puppeteer, Selenium), automation bots, or multi-step workflows that require session persistence. It’s ideal when you want to control the scraping logic yourself but need reliable residential or mobile IPs. It’s also better for high-volume scraping where bandwidth-based pricing is more cost-effective.
05Is there a free trial?+
Yes! You can try both aggregators for free with no credit card required. The Proxy API Aggregator comes with 1,000 free API credits, and the Residential Proxy Aggregator includes 100MB free bandwidth. This gives you enough to test on your target websites before committing to a paid plan.
