Rotating Residential Proxies for Scraping, Bots & AI Pipelines

Lowest cost-per-GB routing with automatic IP cycling — built for HTTP clients, not social logins.

Setup Checklist

  1. 1

    Choose a Rotating Residential Provider

    For scrape workloads, optimize for $/GB and pool size — not sticky sessions. IPRoyal leads on entry pricing; NetNut on purity.

    Get IPRoyal Rotating Pool ↗

    Start with 1 GB to validate your script before scaling.

    • IPRoyal: pay-as-you-go GB that never expires — ideal for side projects.
    • NetNut: one-hop ISP rotation for captcha-heavy targets.
    • Avoid mobile/static tiers for pure HTTP extraction jobs.
  2. 2

    Configure Your Proxy Gateway Endpoint

    Most brokers expose a single gateway hostname with session parameters for geo and rotation.

    • Format: http://user:pass@gate.provider.com:port
    • Append -session-random or country-US for geo targeting.
    • Set rotate interval via dashboard or per-request session ID.
  3. 3

    Wire Into Your HTTP Client

    Pass the gateway URL as proxies= in Python requests, axios, or n8n HTTP node.

    • Python: requests.get(url, proxies={'http': gateway, 'https': gateway})
    • Rotate on 403/429 — new session ID = new IP on most pools.
    • Never reuse scrape IPs for logged-in social sessions.
