Geo-targeting

Target South Africa down to the city and ASN

Set countryCode-za in your proxy username, then layer city, ZIP, GPS, or AS number on top at no extra cost.

  • Country routing

    One flag, countryCode-za, requests an exit geolocated to South Africa, subject to live availability.

  • City, ZIP & GPS requests

    Request a narrower residential location, then verify the observed exit because live supply and geolocation can vary.

  • ASN targeting request

    Request an autonomous system by AS number, subject to network support and current eligible exits.

  • Rotating or sticky

    Request gateway-selected exits or a sticky target up to 120 minutes; connections and availability affect reuse.

  • Country, city, ZIP, GPS, and ASN targeting included on every plan
  • Gateway-selected exits or sticky session targets, subject to availability
  • HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 on one gateway, no allowlisting
  • Every flag set in the proxy username, no code changes

South Africa coverage: scale before slogans

Databay's June 9, 2026 paid-network catalogue assigns 592,536 addresses to South Africa. That places South Africa number 19 of 195 locations worldwide and number 2 of 50 in Africa. The South Africa allocation represents 1.7% of the global catalogue and 23.1% of the Africa total. For South Africa, those figures describe catalogue breadth, not a count of exits guaranteed online at one moment. The South Africa count also does not establish address ownership, consent, residential status, latency, reputation, city accuracy, or acceptance by a destination. Use the live South Africa coverage panel on this page to see which Databay network types currently report service, then confirm the observed exit before relying on a result. South Africa pricing is determined by network and plan rather than by inflating the country count into a performance promise.

What countryCode-za changes

The gateway flag countryCode-za requests an exit geolocated to South Africa, subject to current supply and the selected network. For South Africa, it changes one input: the apparent network origin seen by the destination. An exit geolocated to South Africa does not set a browser language, currency, time zone, delivery address, tax jurisdiction, account country, cookie history, device profile, or legal eligibility. For a useful comparison involving South Africa, write down the hypothesis first and hold those other inputs constant. Check the South Africa exit with a diagnostic endpoint you trust, save the timestamp and effective settings, and compare the observation with a direct or controlled reference. If city, ZIP, coordinate, or ASN precision in South Africa matters, validate that narrower result separately; country success does not prove subnational accuracy.

Plan South Africa sessions from the actual pool scale

South Africa has a deep published pool relative to most catalogue entries. Use the South Africa depth for measured country-level sampling, not for routing around a quota, challenge, or block. Long-lived South Africa flows should prefer a documented sticky session; independent observations can request rotation. In both South Africa modes, connection reuse and live supply can produce the same exit more than once. South Africa pool depth also cannot authorize collection: the destination's terms, robots guidance, contracts, authentication boundaries, rate controls, and applicable law remain the controlling constraints. Treat a block, CAPTCHA, quota, or explicit denial as a stop or review signal across the whole South Africa pool rather than rotating around it. Record South Africa failures as data; do not hide them with unlimited retries.

South Africa in its Africa comparison set

The immediately larger Africa catalogue entry than South Africa is Morocco at 646,631 addresses, and the next smaller is Egypt at 524,973. In the South Africa comparison set, the regional leader is Morocco with 646,631. These South Africa capacity comparisons are useful only when the workload could legitimately run from more than one country. Choose South Africa when the research question specifically needs a network-origin observation from South Africa. Choose a different country from South Africa only when it is a valid control or a separate market in the study. Combining South Africa observations with other countries in one unlabeled dataset makes regional differences impossible to interpret. Preserve the requested South Africa route, observed exit country, network type, timestamp, source, response class, and validation outcome on every retained record.

A reproducible South Africa validation checklist

Before using a South Africa result, capture five things: the canonical source URL and permission basis; the Databay network and countryCode-za setting; the observed exit IP, ASN, and geolocation source; the browser, account, language, currency, address, cookie, and device state; and the UTC timestamp plus response evidence. Repeat the South Africa check from a controlled reference and label missing, blocked, challenged, stale, or personalized responses instead of treating them as ordinary content. For a consequential South Africa price, availability, advertising, search, compliance, or product decision, obtain a second authorized source or local review. This South Africa workflow makes the 592,536-address catalogue figure useful as coverage context without pretending it proves a resident's experience.

How many proxy IPs does Databay have in South Africa?
Databay offers 592,536+ residential and mobile proxy IPs in South Africa, with city-level and ASN geo-targeting.
What types of proxies are available in South Africa?
Databay provides residential and mobile proxies in South Africa, all with rotating and sticky sessions over HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5.
Which networks and ASNs are covered in South Africa?
Coverage in South Africa spans 82 autonomous systems across 2 network types, selectable by ASN in the proxy username.
How do I authenticate with Databay proxies?
Authentication is by username and password over the gateway. Country, city, ASN, and session are all selected with flags in the username, so no IP allowlisting is required.
Which protocols are supported?
HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 are supported on the same gateway, with both rotating and sticky sessions.
Is there an API?
Yes. Proxies are delivered through a single gateway endpoint; pool, geo, and session are controlled entirely through the username flags, so any HTTP client or scraping framework works unchanged.
How do I get started?
Create an account, choose a plan, and the dashboard issues gateway credentials you can use immediately.
Do you offer reseller or volume plans?
Yes. Volume and reseller pricing is available for larger commitments. Contact sales for a quote.
