Web crawling proxies are essential for managing requests and avoiding IP blocking when crawling data from websites. The proxy acts as an intermediary, routing requests through different IP addresses to maintain anonymity and prevent detection. Here are some highlights from the search results:
1. Proxy type:
-Data Centre Proxies: These are cheaper proxies, but may be flagged due to high usage.

-Residential IP proxies: these are private mobile device IPs that provide better anonymity but can be expensive

-ISP proxies: static residential proxies hosted by servers, a combination of data centre and residential proxies

2. Proxy Management:
-Proxy rotation: rotating proxies after a certain number of requests helps to avoid IP blocking.

-Proxy Pooling: Creating a pool of proxies to distribute requests and prevent detection.

3.Proxy Services:
-Zyte Smart Proxy Manager: Proxy manager designed for web crawling and scraping.

-ScraperAPI: Provides proxy rotation, browser and CAPTCHA handling for web crawling through simple API calls.

The use of proxies is critical to successful web crawling, ensuring that data collection is not interrupted or blocked. It is important to choose the right type of proxy for your needs and budget, taking into account factors such as anonymity, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
