Proxy
Learn how to configure and use proxies in MrScraper to enhance scraping reliability and access restricted content.
A proxy acts as an intermediary between your scraper and the target website.
It helps you:
- Mask your real IP address
- Avoid IP bans during large scraping tasks
- Access geo-restricted or localized content
MrScraper provides both built-in location-based proxies and custom proxy support, giving you full flexibility depending on your scraping needs.
