Proxy aggregator and scraping monitoring dashboard. Use KnoxProxy directly instead of ScrapeOps Proxy to get lower per-GB costs while still using ScrapeOps for monitoring and job scheduling.
Install the HTTP library for your language.
pip install requests # Python
npm install axios # JavaScriptInstead of using ScrapeOps Proxy API, point your scraper directly at KnoxProxy for lower-cost proxy routing.
PROXY = "http://your_username:your_password@gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"Append country code to username for geo-targeted requests.
PROXY = "http://your_username-country-us:your_password@gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"If using Scrapy with ScrapeOps monitoring, set KnoxProxy in Scrapy settings while keeping ScrapeOps stats middleware.

DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {

HTTP_PROXY = "http://your_username:your_password@gw.knoxproxy.com:7000"Keep ScrapeOps for job monitoring while using KnoxProxy for the actual proxy layer.

| Problem | Fix |
|---|---|
| ScrapeOps shows high failure rate | Switch country with -country-{cc}. Increase request timeout. Check KnoxProxy dashboard for bandwidth usage. |
| Scrapy middleware conflict | Set ScrapeOps middleware priority to 550 (after proxy middleware). Disable ScrapeOps proxy and use KnoxProxy HTTP_PROXY setting only. |
USER-country-de-city-berlin-session-profile07Order matters -- geo flags before the session flag. The session name is free text; use the profile ID so the mapping is self-documenting. Password stays as issued; no flags belong there. HTTP on :7000, SOCKS5 on :7001, same credentials.
KnoxProxy offers lower per-GB pricing for residential proxies. Use ScrapeOps for monitoring and job management while routing actual traffic through KnoxProxy.
