15 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 local price, availability, and queue conditions before a commercial decision or checkout session.

Market comparison

Operations & security

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

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 target. Many sites classify visitors by IP type and serve datacenter ranges a different response: altered prices, reduced content, or an error page. If you are measuring what real consumers see, residential is the accurate vantage point because those IPs belong to consumer ISPs. If the target treats datacenter traffic like any other, datacenter is faster and cheaper. Many teams run datacenter for high-throughput work on tolerant targets and residential where response accuracy matters.
How does geo-targeting work across these use cases?
You set the target country, and where supported the city, 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. Geo-targeting spans 200+ published locations, with city targeting where live residential supply supports it.
Is there a minimum commitment or a free trial?
Databay is pay as you go with no monthly commitment. You can start small, scale up as your workload grows, and cancel anytime. Volume plans bring the per-GB price down as you commit more bandwidth.

Bring the target. Leave with a network plan.

Start with the vantage point, session behaviour, and output your workflow needs, not a generic proxy label.
