Residential Proxy
A residential proxy routes web requests through real consumer IP addresses assigned by internet service providers (ISPs), making automated traffic appear to originate from ordinary home internet users.
Websites use IP reputation systems to block scraping. Datacenter IPs (from AWS, Google Cloud, DigitalOcean) are well-known and immediately flagged. Residential proxies route traffic through real ISP-assigned home internet connections, making each request indistinguishable from a real consumer browsing from their home.
Residential proxy networks are essential for scraping high-protection targets like major retailers, Amazon, and modern Shopify stores that employ Cloudflare Bot Management. Without them, scrapers are blocked within minutes.
GetStoreIntel uses a global residential proxy network to ensure competitor data is captured reliably regardless of the anti-bot measures in place.
