Which Datafuel product do I need?

If you run your own scraper, you need proxies; if you want the data without running a scraper, you need a scraping API. Both run on the same network, and one account gives you both.

If you run your own scraper, you need proxies; if you want the data without running a scraper, you need a scraping API. Both run on the same network, and one account gives you both.

The one-minute decision

Your situationUse thisWhy
I have a scraper or a tool and I need IPs that are not blockedResidential proxies46M+ real-device IPs in 190+ countries, targeting by country, city, carrier and OS
The target only trusts phones on a carrier network (social apps, mobile offers, anti-fraud flows)Mobile proxiesReal 4G/5G carrier IPs; a separate plan
I manage accounts or long logged-in sessions and need one fixed, trusted IP eachISP static proxiesDedicated IPs on Tier-1 carriers, yours only, never rotated
I need volume and speed on sites that do not block datacenter rangesDatacenter proxiesDedicated IPs on our own hardware, the lowest price per IP
I want the page content back, past Cloudflare, Akamai, DataDome or CAPTCHAs, in one requestUnlocker APIHTML, Markdown, a screenshot or parsed fields; you pay only for successful requests
I want Google results as JSONSERP APIOrganic, ads, People also ask, local pack, shopping; 7 credits a search
I want to see what ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini or Copilot answer about a brand, by countryLLM Scraper APIAnswer and citations as JSON
I want a whole site as clean documentsCrawl API and Map APIMap lists the URLs, Crawl fetches them as Markdown
I am building an AI agent that must read the live webUnlocker API through MCPOne connector, any site, Markdown back

Three questions that settle it

  1. Do you want pages or IPs? Pages: scraping API. IPs: proxies.
  2. Does the target block datacenter ranges? Yes: residential, mobile or ISP. No: datacenter.
  3. Does the identity need to stay the same for days? Yes: ISP static. No: residential with a sticky session is enough.

Where they are in the dashboard

The four proxy products are the cards on Home and the entries under Proxies in the left menu: Residential Proxy, Mobile Proxy, ISP Proxies, Data Center Proxies. The scraping APIs live under Web Data Solutions → Scraping API, where the Playground has one tab per tool: Unlocker, LLM Scraper, Search, Map, Crawl.

Home: the Proxies menu, the four product cards with prices, the Scraping API band and the balance

What happens next

Create an account, activate the scraping API free plan with 1,000 credits, or ask for the 100 MB proxy trial in the chat. Nothing is charged until you buy a plan.
