17 field guides · 4 workflow families

Start with the job. Then choose the route.

A marketplace crawl, a local ad check, a fare comparison, and a regional uptime probe put different pressure on an IP network. Choose the work below; each guide names the route, the constraints, and the proxy mix.

Follow the evidence you need

Each family uses a different operating shape. Open the closest brief, then adapt its route to your target.

Collection

Move permitted public pages into a structured dataset while controlling rotation, session state, and location.

Structured records

Verification & intelligence

Observe what actually rendered in a market, then retain the placement, review, or SERP as evidence.

Observed evidence

Commerce

Compare catalog, price, availability, and fare observations before a documented commercial decision.

Market comparison

Operations & security

Keep an authorised session or probe on a deliberate route, with a record your team can investigate.

One gateway, three kinds of exit

The published cumulative catalogues contain 34M+ residential, 80K+ datacenter, and 800K+ mobile IPs. These cumulative historical catalogue totals are not current live availability. One gateway provides product-specific access. Choose the class per target instead of forcing every job through the same pool.

Field notes

Choosing a route

Which proxy type should I use for which use case?
Use official APIs, feeds, platform tools, and licenses first. When an authorized workflow specifically requires a network-origin sample, residential, datacenter, and mobile proxies provide ISP, hosting, and carrier routes with different availability, controls, and cost. No route has a universal trust score or access guarantee.
Can I combine multiple use cases on one plan?
Yes. One Databay account gives you residential, datacenter, and mobile proxies from a single dashboard and gateway. You can run price monitoring, SEO rank tracking, and ad verification off the same credentials and only pay for the bandwidth you use, with no separate subscription per use case.
Do I need residential proxies, or will datacenter work?
It depends on the authorized workload and required network origin. Residential exits use consumer ISP connections, while datacenter exits use hosting-network ranges with a different cost and published latency profile. Neither origin guarantees a particular response or performance result. Benchmark the exact destination, client, route, and load before choosing.
How does geo-targeting work across these use cases?
You set one supported geographic constraint in the proxy username. That varies the request’s network-location signal for regional QA. Account, device, language, delivery address, experiments, and personalization can still change what appears. Premium Residential supports country, state, city, ZIP, coordinate, or ASN selection one at a time; other products use their narrower documented controls. The 195 published paid-location route pages are a catalogue, not a live-exit guarantee.
Is there a minimum commitment or a free trial?
No. Databay does not offer a free trial. The paid-entry section resolves the smallest currently orderable package only from a complete current rate card; verify its checkout terms before ordering or scaling.
