Track competitor prices, MAP violations, and stock levels at high frequency without tripping IP bans or rate limits. Our residential, rotating, and datacenter proxies spread your requests across thousands of different IPs so you can collect data at minute-level frequency without getting blocked.
A stable IP for recurring MAP audits on the same reseller page.
High bandwidth on a static IP for high-volume, lightly-guarded catalog scans.
Real home-user IPs that see the price a real shopper sees on protected marketplaces.
Carrier IPs with the highest trust score for the most heavily protected targets.
Low-ping static IPs behind DDoS-protected routing.
Hundreds of requests an hour hitting a competitor's catalog from the same IP get flagged and blocked fast by e-commerce bot protection. Spreading those requests across a large IP pool keeps your scans running without interruption.
Catching MAP violations and stock changes within minutes means querying a lot of products at short intervals. Traffic spread across many IPs pushes that ceiling far higher in aggregate instead of capping you per IP.
Price, promotion, and stock data change by country — often by city — on many e-commerce sites. Without a real IP from the target location, the price you see may not be the price an actual customer sees.
Datacenter IPs may already be flagged by the bot-detection systems of large marketplaces. IPs from real home connections or mobile carrier lines make your price queries look like ordinary shopping traffic.
Spot minimum advertised price violations across your reseller network, or a critical product coming back in stock, in minutes rather than hours. A late scan is how you lose a price war or miss a restock window.
Unlimited concurrent threads and a large IP pool let you scan the whole catalog at once, cutting collection time from hours to minutes.
Per-request rotation is the most efficient option for catalog-wide price scans; when you need to add an item to the cart and see the real price including coupons or shipping, the same IP has to stay put for a while. Proxynet lets you use both modes on one account.
Your price monitoring traffic leaves through addresses in the proxy pool, not the IP of your own server or office network. Your competitor's logs never show that you were watching.
Price monitoring is the process of automatically tracking product prices, MAP (minimum advertised price) compliance, and stock status across competitor or reseller catalogs at regular intervals. Instead of checking by hand, a script visits the target product pages hourly — or even by the minute — and records every price, discount, and stock change.
Why You Need a Proxy: Target sites recognize frequent, repeated product page visits coming from a single IP, then apply rate limits or serve a CAPTCHA. Many marketplaces also show different prices by country and by city. Without a proxy, your scanning script is blocked within a few hours or quietly collects the wrong regional price.
Which Proxy, and When: the table below matches each price-monitoring task to the session mode and IP source it needs.
| Task | Session Mode | IP Source | Billing |
|---|---|---|---|
| Catalog-wide bulk price scan | Rotating | Datacenter — high-volume, lightly-guarded targets | Per IP / month |
| Cart price check (coupons, shipping) | Sticky | Residential | Per GB |
| Heavily protected large marketplaces | Rotating | Residential | Per GB |
| Strictest-protected, high fraud-risk targets | Rotating | Mobile | Per GB |
The Proxynet pool unifies 160 million+ residential and mobile IPs across 194 countries in one dashboard. Route your traffic over the HTTPS Proxy or SOCKS5 Proxy protocol, and put the same infrastructure to work on your market research projects as well.
The most familiar use is e-commerce: a product's price on platforms like Amazon or Trendyol can change several times a day; sellers tracking competitors catch that change instantly and adjust their own price accordingly. Winning the Buy Box often comes down to a fraction of a currency unit, so minute-by-minute tracking really makes a difference here, not just hourly.
Flight and hotel prices are another classic example — these move constantly based on search history, date, and demand. Searching from different countries can show the same ticket at different prices; tools tracking this try to find the best moment and the cheapest market.
Electronics and tech products also see hourly price swings during campaign periods (like Black Friday); brands and distributors track their products' prices across different sellers to catch MAP (minimum advertised price) violations early.
The four stages of setting up a price monitoring workflow from scratch:
From e-commerce MAP compliance and dynamic pricing to travel fare comparison and commodity price data — the fields price monitoring powers.
Scan your own catalog and competitor storefronts at regular intervals and follow pricing, discounts, and MAP compliance from a single dashboard.
Collect price and stock changes across dozens of supplier catalogs automatically and update your own store prices without the lag.
Gather competitor price data on a steady stream and give your dynamic pricing algorithm real-time input.
Audit whether your authorized reseller network is honoring your minimum advertised price policy, regularly and from different regions.
Catch the moment an in-demand product comes back in stock, or a new SKU lands in the catalog, without missing the window.
Compare regional gaps in flight and hotel pricing using IPs from different countries and pin down the best moment to book.
Track listing prices and per-square-meter rates across real estate portals in bulk to read the market trend.
Collect price data from public stock exchange and commodity pages in real time.
Rated 4.4 out of 5 — "Excellent" on Trustpilot.
When you take the quality of the proxies they sell together with pre-sales and after-sales support, I can say they are among the best on the market. I want to work with them for a long time — thank you.

I was using a proxy from another company and could not get support. I was already registered on proxynet.io before buying; when a customer-service email arrived on Saturday I decided to try. So far I can say their fast replies and problem-solving approach really impressed me.Read on Trustpilot

Technical support is fast. I was very happy with the ISP proxies; you could make prices a bit more affordable, mobile is unfortunately expensive, but ISP speeds and subnet quality are solid.Read on Trustpilot

City, ASN and carrier targeting on the Residential, ISP, Datacenter and Mobile plans. These are the deepest pools; each country has its own page with its ISPs, carriers and coverage.

Price monitoring is the process of automatically collecting product prices, discounts, and stock status from competitor or reseller catalogs at regular intervals using a script. The script pulls target product pages over HTTP, parses the price and stock fields, and records every change in a database or an alerting system. Run at high frequency from a single IP, the target site spots it quickly and blocks it — which is exactly why a proxy pool is used.
MAP monitoring is the process of auditing whether your authorized resellers and distributors are selling your products below the minimum advertised price the brand has set. To do that, you have to visit reseller sites from different regions, continuously and without being detected. A large residential proxy pool runs each audit from a different real user IP, so you see the standard price the reseller site shows everyone rather than one tailored to you.
Scan frequency is set by the target site's rate limit and the size of your IP pool, not by the proxy. When a large rotating pool spreads your requests across thousands of IPs, the number of requests any single IP has to absorb drops, and you can reach minute-level scan frequency. Proxynet places no fixed cap on concurrent threads; the practical limit is the target site's capacity.
Rotating and residential answer two different questions: rotating decides whether the IP changes on every request, while residential describes where the IP comes from (a real home user's line). For example, when you scan thousands of SKUs on a marketplace, a residential pool with rotation enabled is the most efficient setup; when you add that same product to the cart to see the true price including coupons, you need sticky mode, which holds the same IP steady for a while.
Yes. Some sites recognize a visitor's IP, cookies, or past behavior and serve them a personalized — usually higher — price. Using a clean, different residential IP on every scan takes that personalization out of play and gives you the standard price the site shows any ordinary first-time visitor.
Proxynet supplies the proxy infrastructure only; you process the price and stock data you collect through your own script or a third-party price monitoring tool, then wire it into your alert rules, your dashboard, or your dynamic pricing engine. Scrapy, Playwright, Selenium, and cURL support the backconnect endpoint format natively — a single host:port and your credentials are all it takes.
