Proxies are an essential part of web scraping and web automation. They allow you to route your requests through different IP addresses, which helps to scraper blocking and rate limiting. Proxies can also help you access geo-restricted content and improve your scraping performance by distributing the load across multiple IPs.
There are various types of proxies, including residential proxies, data center proxies, and mobile proxies. Each type has its own advantages and use cases.
