    Best experience

    Developers like me find forums to be the biggest source of our knowledge and insights, but we rarely have time to go through all of that massive data. Stackoverflow and Reddit have so much strictness & security that we thought it was un-scrapable. Until Proxycrawl :) Now I can fetch whatever I need to learn more about in a matter of a few minutes. Awesome Tools!

    🏁 Competitors: Octoparse
    👍 Pros:    No ip leaks, no captcha, no failed requests!!!

    BEST REVIEW

    I get so many data mining projects that it becomes a hassle to manage my proxies and handle their limitations. It is now so convenient to bypass blocks and scrape big platforms swiftly with Proxycrawl. The best part... I get all my solutions on one platform!

    🏁 Competitors: Apify
    👍 Pros:    The freeware presents nameless net proxy servers for your net scraping and your extracted statistics will be hosted on proxycrawl’s servers two weeks earlier than the facts are archived, or you can without delay export the extracted records to json or csv files.
    👎 Cons:    A bit confusing pricing and payment methods.

    Excellence in all matters

    I love their support, and the service. The Crawling API and Crawler are very reliable, I use this service to scrape millions of pages from various websites like Zillow, Amazon, Yelp, Ebay, SimilarWeb. I've searched over 4 months to find a service to scrape Linkedin, I only found it with proxycrawl, I could not believe they can do it until I tried. Super awesome service and worth every cent, the service reduces my time on crawling and scraping the web to basically zero minute.
