We’re excited to announce that we have recently added enormous capacity to extract data anonymously. Although this feature isn’t completely new, we thought we’d let you know how our latest improvements can affect your data extraction capabilities.Who does this affect? Here are three scenarios:
Who: Users scraping large amounts of data from popular, high-volume sites (Google, Facebook, YellowPages, LinkedIn, Yelp, etc.).
Effect: You can now run multiple jobs on these sites without being queued, using anonymous proxies. This can make scraping up to 20 times faster.
Who: Users who want complete anonymity in the data extraction process.
Effect: Using anonymous proxies, your web scraping will be just that...anonymous.
Who: Users whose agents get blocked for high-volume page requests on particular sites.
Effect: Running agents using anonymous proxies solves most website blocking issues—especially for multiple requests.
How do I run my agents anonymously?
When you are ready to run an agent anonymously, just select the "Run Anonymously" checkbox in the Web Console (below). This agent will run anonymously from now on. If you want to revert this setting, you can just uncheck the checkbox.
