How to set up a proxy in a scraper, using Scrapebox as an example?
Using a proxy can make data scraping easier. If you are scraping for the first time, we
will show you how to set up a proxy in a scraping service using the popular Scrapebox
service as an example.
How scrapers work
By utilizing scrapers, you can quickly gather the necessary data from online sources. This
can automate the routine promotion and advertising processes and allow you to
analyze your competitors easily.
ScrapeBox and other similar services are focused on SEO promotion and provide useful
information for website development. We suggest configuring a proxy in the scraper
to guarantee secure, anonymous, and hassle-free work.
If you need to handle a lot of data, you can use and configure a package of proxies
simultaneously. This ensures the highest level of anonymity, since the site server
identifies each proxy as a unique individual with its own IP address. This approach
can help you avoid being blocked.

The process of setting up proxies in other scrapers is similar.Although there may be
some differences in interface elements, button names, and action sequences, the
overall process remains the same:
1. Open the scraper, log in.
2. Go to the section "Select Harvester and Proxies" or similar one and select
the "Use Proxies" option. Then click on "Edit”
3. After that, you should enter the proxy data - IP address:port:login:password.
4. Save the entered data. You have set up a single proxy.
5. If you need to set up multiple proxies or connect a package, you'll require a
file containing a list of proxies. In this case, click on "Load" in the scraper
and then select "Load file."
6. After uploading the proxies, you need to click "Start Harvesting".
7. Select the necessary search engine, for example Google. Click "Proxy" in the
scraper and then "Use server proxies."
8. Click "Start".
9. If the setup was successful, the scraper will show "Proxies enabled".
The proxy setup in ScrapeBox is complete.
Conclusion
If you want to work efficiently with ScrapeBox or any other scraper, it is better to
choose high-quality private proxies. We discourage the use of free proxies as
they give different results with each check and are prone to blocking. However,
the results of paid private proxies are always stable and reliable.
