Free Proxy Scraper

Free Proxy List Fetcher

Effortlessly filter and sort free proxies for your data collection needs

🚀 Overview

This Apify Actor simplifies proxy management by fetching, validating, and filtering free proxies based on country codes, protocol support (HTTP/SSL/SOCKS), and sorting criteria. Perfect for web scraping, data mining, or bypassing IP restrictions.

📈 Why Use This Actor?

• Save Time: Avoid manual proxy validation and filtering.
• Reliability: Built-in error handling and type validation.
• Flexibility: Customize filters for specific use cases like geo-targeted scraping.

🌟 Key Features

• Country Code Filtering: Validate and filter proxies by ISO 3166-1 alpha-2/alpha-3 codes (e.g., "US", "DE").
• Protocol Support: Filter proxies by HTTP, SSL, SOCKS4, or SOCKS5 support (or exclude unsupported protocols).
• Anonymity Mapping: Convert numeric anonymity levels (1-4) to human-readable labels like "High anonymity".
• Sorting: Sort results by delay, lastseen, or reliability metrics in ascending/descending order.
• Error Handling: Gracefully handles invalid inputs and proxy list errors.
