Why use this Growth Hack?
One of the challenges of using Scrapebox is finding proxies that actually work and that you can rely on.
Here is the solution: The Scraper API.
The reason why this is the best solution, in my opinion, is that one of the most frustrating aspects of collecting data automatically on the web is having to deal with IP blocks and CAPTCHAs all the time.
How do you do this Growth Hack?
Scraper's API rotates IP addresses with each request, from a pool of millions of proxies spread across more than a dozen ISPs. The API automatically retries failed requests, so you'll never get stuck.
In other words, no more headaches caused by failed proxies.
To make it work, you just need to include a line of code in the configuration of your proxies (window at the bottom left) of Scrapebox like this:
proxy-server.scraperapi.com:8001:scraperApi:your_API_key
That's all, will you be able to scrape the web or social networks as you like?
