Zeid Abughazaleh on Oct 30, 2026Use a proxy in Node.js through an Undici `ProxyAgent`, an Axios `proxy` object, or `undici.request()` with a dispatcher. Keep credentials outside source code, set a timeout, and validate the returned data. Test the observed exit IP before running the client against its intended destination.

Zeid Abughazaleh on Aug 26, 2025HTTP 429 Too Many Requests means a server has rate-limited a client because it sent more requests than allowed within a specified period. First check the response for a Retry-After header and wait for the specified time before retrying. For APIs, scrapers, and automation, reduce your request rate or concurrency and use exponential backoff with jitter instead of immediately repeating failed requests.

Omar Rifai on Aug 22, 2025Price comparison sites collect offers from multiple sellers, turn inconsistent product and price data into comparable records, and help users evaluate those offers in one interface. They may receive data through merchant feeds, APIs, affiliate networks, structured data, permitted public-page collection, or a combination of methods. Most make money through commissions, referral clicks, advertising, leads, or merchant services.

Yazan Sharawi on Aug 19, 2025You can scrape Reddit with Python by requesting Reddit's structured data, handling cursor-based pagination, cleaning the returned JSON, and exporting posts or comments to formats such as JSON and CSV. Our open-source Reddit scraper uses a simple synchronous approach for smaller jobs and switches to asynchronous requests and proxy rotation for larger workloads.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Aug 14, 2025cURL and Wget can both retrieve a URL, but they are optimized for different jobs. cURL is a general data-transfer client with precise control over requests, headers, bodies, authentication, uploads, and proxies. GNU Wget is a retrieval tool designed around downloading files reliably and following links recursively.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Jul 30, 2025cURL, short for Client URL, is a command-line tool used to send and receive data from servers using a wide variety of protocols. It’s built on a library called libcurl and supports protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SMTP, LDAP, and more.
Read postOmar Rifai on Jul 25, 2025The most reliable first test for SOCKS5 UDP support is a direct UDP ASSOCIATE probe—not a browser, VoIP app, or system-wide tunnel. The Python checker below negotiates SOCKS5, requests a UDP relay, sends a DNS query through it, and validates both the returned SOCKS5 envelope and DNS answer. It does not print proxy credentials, and it does not treat an arbitrary packet or a timeout as a definitive result.
Read postYazan Sharawi on Jul 22, 2025Use `curl -i "https://example.com"` to show Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) response headers beside the response body. Use `curl -I "https://example.com"` only when a HEAD request matches your test. For GET headers without body output, run `curl -sS -D - -o /dev/null "https://example.com"`.

Read postZeid Abughazaleh on Jul 4, 2025A Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 502 Bad Gateway response means a gateway or proxy received an invalid upstream response. Visitors should retry once, while site owners identify the responding gateway and inspect upstream logs. Owners should verify service health, routing, Domain Name System (DNS) records, firewall rules, and protocol settings.
