• Seeking Alternatives for Costly Proxies in Web Scraping Project

  I was initially intrigued by packetstream.io and their $1/Gb pricing but even that is too expensive for tens of terabytes of data a month across all the sportsbooks I plan to hit. Have you heard anything about https://www.webshare.io/? I saw them mentioned in a few threads and I might try them out.
