How to use the Proxy feature in Manual Scraper
c
The Proxy tab allows you to configure how your scraper accesses the internet by managing proxy settings. Proxies are useful for masking your IP address or bypassing geographic restrictions, and they also help prevent your scraper from being blocked by websites due to repetitive requests. MrScraper provides two types of proxies:
- MrScraper Proxy
- Custom Proxy
By default, the manual scraper will use MrScraper Proxy.
Use the Custom Proxy
To use the scheduler feature, follow the steps below:
- Select the Custom Proxy.
- Specify the proxy configurations:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Host | The host address of your custom proxy. This is the IP address or domain name of the proxy server. |
| Port | The port number used to connect to the custom proxy. The port ensures the correct communication channel between your scraper and the proxy server. |
| Username | The username required to authenticate with your custom proxy. |
| Password | The password associated with your custom proxy. This, along with the username, ensures secure access to the proxy server. |
- Click Save Changes to save the configuration.
