SOAX Alternative - Simplify Web Scraping with ProxiesAPI

Sep 30, 2023 ยท 2 min read

SOAX offers a wide range of proxies and web scraping tools including residential, mobile, and datacenter proxies as well as web scraping APIs. However, for basic scraping needs, their extensive services are overkill compared to the simplicity of ProxiesAPI.

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.
