What is Smart Proxy Manager#

Zyte Smart Proxy Manager (formerly Crawlera) enables scalable web scraping by routing your requests through a pool of IP addresses. Smart Proxy introduces delays and discards IPs wherever necessary to evade anti-crawling measures and maximize success rate.

A standard proxy API is used to access Smart Proxy Manager that is controlled using special HTTP headers prefixed by X-Crawlera like in X-Crawlera-Cookies: disable.

To use Smart Proxy Manager in your own projects you can take a look at the different programming language examples in the Smart Proxy Manager Integrations section.

See Smart Proxy Manager API for a detailed description of the Smart Proxy Manager API.
