Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use HTTPS with ZenRows® Residential Proxies?
Can I use HTTPS with ZenRows® Residential Proxies?
Yes, ZenRows Residential Proxies support both HTTP and HTTPS.
How do I rotate the IPs?
How do I rotate the IPs?
ZenRows automatically rotates IPs for each request unless you configure a Sticky TTL to keep the same IP for a certain time period. This helps in scenarios where maintaining the same IP for a session is required.
What should I do if my requests are blocked?
What should I do if my requests are blocked?
Many websites employ advanced anti-bot measures, such as CAPTCHAs and Web Application Firewalls (WAFs), to prevent automated scraping. Simply using proxies may not be enough to bypass these protections.Instead of relying solely on proxies, consider using ZenRows’ Universal Scraper API, which provides:
- JavaScript Rendering and Interaction Simulation: Optimized with anti-bot bypass capabilities.
- Comprehensive Anti-Bot Toolkit: ZenRows offers advanced tools to overcome complex anti-scraping solutions.
Can I use both the World Region Targeting and Country Targeting together?
Can I use both the World Region Targeting and Country Targeting together?
No, you cannot use both World Region Targeting and Country Targeting at the same time in the same proxy request. ZenRows only accepts one geo-targeting parameter per request—either a region or a country. Attempting to use both will result in an error, and your request will not be processed.
If you need to scrape data from multiple countries within a region, run separate requests for each country using the appropriate country code.
Can I use both the Sticky TTL and Geolocation together?
Can I use both the Sticky TTL and Geolocation together?
Yes, you can combine Sticky TTL (for session persistence) and geo-targeting (region or country) in your proxy credentials. This allows you to maintain the same IP address for a specified duration while also targeting a specific region or country.How does it work?
- Add the TTL and session parameters after your password, followed by your region or country targeting code.
- ZenRows will assign an IP from your chosen location and keep it consistent for the duration of the TTL and session.
