Get a demoUrgent: Unexplained Surge in Scraping Costs – Immediate Action Required
Closed
Hi Team,
I am writing to bring to your immediate attention a critical issue that is severely impacting our operations and budget. Recently, our daily scraping run costs have skyrocketed from an average of $10-$15 to an alarming $50-$100. This increase has occurred without any changes on our end, and we demand an explanation and resolution immediately.
The sudden surge in costs is unacceptable and has placed a significant strain on our budget. We chose APIFY for its reliability and predictable pricing, but this unexplained increase is forcing us to reconsider our options. If this issue is not resolved promptly, we will be compelled to switch to OXYLABS for our Amazon scraping needs.
We require a detailed explanation for this price change and immediate corrective action. Why was there no prior notice or communication regarding this significant cost increase? This oversight is deeply troubling and reflects poorly on the trust we have placed in your services.
I expect an urgent response and a resolution to this matter. Our continued partnership with APIFY depends on it.
Hi, thanks a lot for opening this issue!
The increase in cost is caused on your end. You've changed your proxy configuration to the much more expensive residential proxies, instead of the previously used datacenter proxies.
I'm not sure if this change was accidental or not, as it matches with the date we deprecated the proxyConfiguration input option and replaced it with proxyCountry. You can still use the deprecated field via JSON input and set it to your old settings:
"proxyConfiguration":{"useApifyProxy":true}}
―――――――――――――――――――――
Amazon is quite an exception to the datacenter vs. residential proxy debate, because by default we set all users to residential and as a result, they are actually blocked more than our datacenter proxies. You are one of the very few users that actually use datacenter proxies for Amazon.
Anyway, just recently we've discovered a new method that overcomes blocking on many websites, with Amazon being the next one to implement it for. So hopefully we will be able to use datacenter for everyone :) Stay tuned!
I hope this helps, thanks and happy scraping!
