Managed data workflows

Proxy infrastructure for repeatable scraping

Keep crawlers, schedulers, and pipelines in your environment. Use Premip as the access layer across sites, markets, and collection windows.

Who this is for

Scraping and data-platform teams who already own extraction code and need reliable proxy controls rather than an outsourced scraper.

Operate jobs with explicit access settings

Choose product, location, and session behavior per target while extraction, parsing, and storage stay in your stack.

Why teams use this setup

Less operational guesswork

Document proxy type and location next to each spider.

Per-target routing

Mobile, residential, or datacenter depending on the site.

Scale on your schedule

Add locations and concurrency after a spider is stable.

Infrastructure controls

Workload-specific routing

Match product and location to each spider’s target.

Rotation control

Dashboard rotation changes the exit IP; credentials stay put.

Bring your crawler

Scrapy, custom workers, and commercial crawlers that support HTTP/SOCKS5.

Scraping programs

  • Scheduled catalogs

    Recurring listing and detail crawls.

  • Regional content

    The same spider, different dashboard locations.

  • Monitoring programs

    Long-running jobs with clear session rules.

Match the target

Default to residential or mobile when blocks are common. Use datacenter when the target is stable and cost-efficient access is enough.

Sessions

Sticky for detail-page walks on one site. Rotate between jobs or batches when you need a new IP.

Location

Set location in the dashboard before launch. Pass the market name into job metadata.

Before you start

  • Target sites, volume, and required countries.
  • A crawler that can set an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy.
  • An active Premip plan.
  • Metrics for success vs block pages.

How to put a spider on Premip

Ship a single spider to production on one location, then templatize.

  1. Step 1

    Assess the workload

    Record allowed paths, expected volume, session needs, and whether pages are geo-specific.

  2. Step 2

    Select infrastructure

    Create the proxy product that fits the target. Complete signup so credentials exist.

  3. Step 3

    Set location

    Choose the market in the dashboard. For multi-country programs, one job config per location is easier to debug.

  4. Step 4

    Inject credentials

    Configure the crawler’s proxy middleware with USERNAME, PASSWORD, HOST, and PORT from environment variables.

  5. Step 5

    Run a smoke crawl

    Fetch a handful of URLs. Confirm status codes, encoding, and that bodies are not block pages.

  6. Step 6

    Decide sticky vs rotate

    Enable stickiness for pagination and carts. After a batch, rotate from the dashboard if the next batch should use a new IP.

  7. Step 7

    Add backoff and alerts

    Pause on rising error rates. Do not rotate mid-request; finish or fail the request, then rotate.

  8. Step 8

    Measure and expand

    Promote the spider, then add locations and rate. Keep parsers versioned with sample HTML per market.

Smoke-test the proxy from the crawler host
Replace USERNAME, PASSWORD, HOST, and PORT with values from your dashboard.
curl -x http://USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT https://example.com

Scraping infrastructure questions

Does Premip provide the scraping code?
No. Premip provides proxy infrastructure. You connect your scraper or collection platform through standard proxy access.
Can I discuss a larger deployment?
Yes. Enterprise teams can contact sales about scale, targeting, and support.
HTTP or SOCKS5?
Use HTTP unless the crawler requires SOCKS5. Credentials are shared across both.
Will rotation change my username?
No. Host, port, username, and password stay the same. Only the exit IP changes.

Attach your crawler to Premip

Provision a proxy, smoke-test with curl, then point the spider at the same credentials.
