RESIDENTIAL PROXY API

Residential Proxy API: 150+ Countries, Included on Every Plan

Every request through this web scraper API routes through genuine residential IPs, not pre-flagged datacenter ranges, with geo-targeting down to the country level, no extra proxy fee.

Why a Residential Proxy API, Not Datacenter IPs

Datacenter proxy ranges are widely known and pre-flagged by most anti-bot systems. Residential IPs come from real ISPs, so requests look like genuine visitors.

150+ Countries

Target a specific country's IP pool for geo-restricted content or localized results.

Automatic Rotation

IPs rotate per request by default, no manual session or pool management required.

No Shared Blocklists

Real residential networks, not datacenter ranges already flagged by most anti-bot systems.

Included on Every Plan

No proxy add-on fee or separate tier, residential IPs are part of the base request cost.

Developer-Ready Docs

Straightforward REST integration with clear geo-targeting parameters in the API reference.

Works for AI Agents Too

The same proxy layer that powers manual scraping also serves requests made through the MCP server, no separate proxy config for agent workflows.

How Geo-Targeting Works

1

Set a country parameter

Optionally pass a target country alongside your x-api-key, omit it for automatic rotation.

2

Request routes through that pool

Your request is assigned a residential IP from the specified country's pool.

3

Get localized results

Pricing, availability, or content that varies by region comes back as a real visitor from that country would see it.

Target a Specific Country

REQUEST
curl -X POST https://scrapebadger.com/v1/web/scrape \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url": "https://example.com", "country": "DE"}'

Residential Proxy API Questions

What's the difference between residential and datacenter proxies?+

Datacenter proxies come from cloud hosting providers and are widely known IP ranges: most anti-bot systems flag them by default. Residential proxies route through real ISP connections, so requests look like genuine visitors.

How do I integrate the residential proxy API as a developer?+

Send a standard REST request with your API key, proxy rotation happens automatically. An optional country parameter lets you target a specific region. Full integration details are in the docs.

Does using a residential proxy cost extra?+

No, residential proxies are included in every plan's base request cost, including PAYG. There's no separate proxy fee or higher tier required.

Can I use this residential proxy API with an AI agent?+

Yes, the same proxy layer serves requests made through the MCP server, so an agent connected via Claude, Cursor, or ChatGPT gets the same residential IP rotation as a direct API call.
