Private Proxies for Price Monitoring

What are price monitoring proxies?

Price monitoring or sometimes referred to as price intelligence is a process of collecting data on prices on merchandise from a variety of publicly available sources. Normally, such a process (often referred to as data scraping) requires hiding your computer’s IP behind a proxy not to alert the anti-spam or anti-bot system of the target marketplace.

Is it safe to buy all proxies for price monitoring from a single source?

The answer is “yes”. But only once you have a good track record with this particular proxy provider. After a year or so of successful operation, you can move all your proxy-related activities to a single account of one proxy provider without any risk of losing on the quality of the service.

What type of proxies are the best for price monitoring?

Depending on the quality of the security system on board of the marketplace you are meant to scrape you will need either datacenter or residential proxies. Datacenter proxies may be cheaper and faster but they are also prone to be detected easier than the more reliable residential IPs. If you are asking yourself: “What proxies should I buy for price monitoring?” Ask our account managers and we will give you an optimum solution for your scraping mission.

Can I use your proxies with my bots?

Of course. All our proxies are compatible with the most popular bots and apps that are used for scraping during price monitoring scraping or parsing. If you are in doubt on whether you are using your proxies correctly, you can always approach your account manager and resolve this issue.
