Which use case should I start with?

If you are scraping public data, start with web scraping and the SOCKS5 filter. If you are testing localized features, start with geo-restriction checks and rotate country codes per request.

Are these proxies suitable for production traffic?

Free proxies are best suited for ad-hoc scraping, testing, and verification. For sustained production traffic, combine Proxcy with a paid provider and use Proxcy as a reference set.

How do I keep my proxy pool fresh?

Re-fetch /api/raw on a 60-second interval (matching the dashboard refresh) and replace any proxy that fails twice in a row.

Use cases

What people build with Proxcy

Proxcy powers proxy-driven workflows across scraping, automation, AI, and monitoring. Each scenario below maps to a concrete query against the raw API.

Web scraping

Rotate exit IPs to bypass per-IP rate limits while harvesting public data at scale.

Pull a country-specific batch from /api/raw and pipe it into your scraper.
Filter by SOCKS5 for tools that prefer non-HTTP tunnels.
Refresh the proxy pool every 3 minutes to swap out dead nodes.

Automation & bots

Distribute traffic across regions for headless workflows, schedulers, and scripted tasks.

Combine google=true with a country filter to get proxies that can reach Google services.
Pin a single ASN by reading the dashboard table and copying the organization filter.
Pair with a queue worker to recycle proxies automatically.

Development & testing

Reproduce country-specific bugs, test rate limits, and verify geo-aware features.

Use protocol=http for plain HTTP proxies in local debugging tools.
Switch country codes between requests to validate geo logic.
Skip stale dumps by reading directly from the live raw endpoint.

Geo-restriction checks

Verify how a page renders from each country code without spinning up dedicated VPNs.

Quickly enumerate countries with available proxies in the dashboard.
Run synthetic checks from each region to detect regional content drift.
Confirm GDPR / consent banners trigger only in the expected geographies.

AI agents

Give crawling agents a fresh proxy pool that matches their target region.

Rotate exit nodes per task to mimic different users.
Filter by latency to keep agent reasoning loops responsive.
Return a raw list directly to a tool-calling agent without JSON parsing.

Monitoring & verification

Probe public endpoints from multiple vantage points to detect outages and routing anomalies.

Run health checks through proxies in different countries.
Detect ISP-level filtering by comparing reachability across ASNs.
Combine with the /status page to correlate Proxcy-side issues.

Ad & content verification

Confirm campaigns, search results, and content variants render correctly per region.

Check which ads appear from each country without third-party services.
Validate localized SEO metadata as it appears to regional crawlers.
Audit pricing pages for unintended geo-discrimination.
