The Trouble with Geonode

Geonode offers a wide range of proxy servers, including:

  • Unlimited residential proxies
  • Pay-as-you-go datacenter proxies
  • Scraper API

    • However, Geonode has some drawbacks:

  • Complex pricing tiers based on bandwidth and threads
  • Pay-per-GB pricing adds up quickly
  • Must purchase proxies in bulk
  • No built-in features like CAPTCHA solving

    • For basic web scraping needs, this extensive proxy network is overkill. A simpler solution is required.

    ProxiesAPI - Simple Scraping API

    ProxiesAPI simplifies web scraping down to one API call:

    curl "<http://api.proxiesapi.com/?key=API_KEY&url=https://example.com>"

    This returns the full HTML of any webpage. Behind the scenes, ProxiesAPI handles:

  • Proxy Rotation - Each request uses a different proxy and IP.
  • Browser Identities - Randomized user agents and headers.
  • Automatic Retries - Retries failed requests.
  • CAPTCHA Solving - Automatically solves CAPTCHAs.
  • Javascript Rendering - Returns fully loaded DOM.

    • Pricing is simple at $23/month for 250,000 requests, with unlimited bandwidth.

    Why ProxiesAPI Beats Geonode

    Here is a comparison between the two services:
