Proxies

Residential, mobile, ISP and datacenter proxies through regional gateways. Targeting goes in the username.

Datafuel sells four proxy networks, each as its own plan with its own balance. Two are rotating pools billed per GB, two are dedicated static IPs billed per IP. They connect in different ways, so the documentation is split the same way.

Which one to pick

  • Residential for scraping at scale on protected targets, geo-specific content, price monitoring, ad verification.
  • Mobile for the hardest targets and anything that treats carrier IPs as the highest trust level.
  • ISP for long sessions and account management: the IP is yours, never rotates, and passes deep ASN inspection.
  • Datacenter for speed and volume on targets that do not fight back.

Every network uses username:password authentication, with one set of credentials per plan. Credentials are in the dashboard and in the User API.

Thirty-second start

Residential IP in the United States, new IP on every request, from the US gateway:

Shell
curl --proxy gw-us.datafuel.ai:5555 \
     --proxy-user network-residential-country-us:$PASSWORD \
     https://ipinfo.io/json

Add session-<id> to keep the same IP, city-… or asn-… to narrow where it comes from. The full grammar is in Targeting.
