Some websites implement strict anti-scraping measures that block standard datacenter IPs, making it difficult to extract content. Premium Proxies provide a reliable solution by using residential IPs sourced directly from Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which are much harder for sites to detect and block.
To use Premium Proxies with ZenRows®, simply add the parameter premium_proxy=true to your request. This will ensure that a residential IP is used, significantly increasing the chances of successful scraping, especially on websites with robust security.
Sometimes, the content you’re trying to scrape is region-restricted, meaning it’s only available in specific countries or regions. Geolocation allows you to choose the country from which the request is made, giving you access to geo-restricted content. ZenRows supports over 190+ countries, providing broad global coverage.
To enable geolocation, add the parameter proxy_country with the country code of your choice (e.g., proxy_country=es for Spain) along with premium_proxy=true. Geolocation requires Premium Proxies to be enabled, as datacenter IPs cannot be geolocated with accuracy.
By using the proxy_country parameter, ZenRows® will route your request through a residential proxy in the specified country, helping you access region-specific content seamlessly.
Premium Proxies use residential IP addresses, which are less likely to be blocked by websites compared to datacenter IPs. They are ideal for scraping websites with stronger security measures, such as those protected by CloudFlare or other anti-bot systems.
No, Geolocation requires the use of Premium Proxies. Standard datacenter proxies do not support accurate geolocation.
ZenRows offers geolocation in over 190+ countries, allowing you to scrape content from nearly any region across the globe.
Using Premium Proxies increases the cost of your request by 10 times the base rate. Geolocation does not add additional cost beyond the Premium Proxy charge.
No, you cannot specify personal IP pools with ZenRows. Forcing specific IPs can lead to errors in your requests, as our system is designed to use its own pools of residential IPs for optimal performance and reliability.
