With proxies, you get IP addresses and access to a proxy network that helps lower the risk of blocks while you scrape. Instead of sending all your requests from a single IP address and getting flagged, you can spread them across many IPs.
You integrate your proxies with your existing scraper, tool, script, or setup, and handle any interruptions on your own. That includes managing proxy rotation, handling CAPTCHAs, retrying failed requests, and adapting whenever a website changes its bot-detection challenges.
With Web Scraper API, you get the content of your target, whether that’s a public web page, Google search results, or an image file. You get an API endpoint that you send requests to from your own setup, such as a Python or Node.js script, cURL, or Postman. IPRoyal handles the proxies, browser rendering, retries, and bot-detection challenges, and returns the content to you.
Overall, choose proxies if you want full control over every request or need IP addresses for more than scraping. Choose Web Scraper API if you want public web data without building or maintaining scraping infrastructure.
