Proxies for AI and data collection
Teams working with AI need proxies for two things: collecting large amounts of public data, and seeing AI tools the way a user in another country sees them.
Collecting public data for AI training and RAG
Models need text, product pages, reviews and documentation. When you fetch thousands of pages from one address, the site soon throttles you. Proxies with a new IP per request spread the load across many addresses. Start with datacenter IPs — they are the fastest and cheapest — and add residential IPs where a site blocks datacenter ranges. Code examples are on the web scraping proxies page.
How AI tools answer in different countries
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude and AI search results vary by country and language. Marketers and SEO teams check whether an AI assistant mentions their brand in answers shown to users in the US, Germany or Poland. For that they use residential IPs from the target country, and from a specific city when needed.
Testing your own AI products
If you build a chatbot or a model-based service, proxies let you test it from different regions: response time, interface language, country restrictions and prices in the local currency.
What to know up front
We do not guarantee access to any specific AI service: that depends on its rules and on our list of blocked websites. Follow the terms of the service you work with, and check robots.txt on the sites you collect data from. Before a large job, run a small test on a few gigabytes — traffic never expires.

FAQ
Which proxies should I use to collect AI training data?
Start with datacenter proxies in “new IP per request” mode — they are the cheapest. Add residential proxies for sites that block datacenter IPs.
Can I use ChatGPT through a proxy?
We do not promise access to specific services; that depends on their rules. People use proxies to check how a service answers users in another country and to collect public data.
How much traffic do I need?
A text page without images weighs tens of kilobytes, so thousands of pages fit into a small volume. Turn off images and scripts and you will use several times less traffic.
