Public-data scraping on US sites: when to rotate, when to stay sticky, when a mobile IP is worth its price, and what a GB costs.

**Quick answer — What are the best US proxies for web scraping?**

The best US proxies for web scraping are rotating residential IPs for broad public-data jobs, with sticky sessions for multi-step pages. Mobile IPs fit only targets that treat carrier traffic differently. **FiftyStateProxy** sells US residential traffic from $0.52/GB at 1 TB and rotating mobile from $1.50/GB, as of October 2026. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto.

## Web scraping proxies at a glance

| Attribute | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Best proxy type | Rotating residential; sticky for multi-step flows; mobile for carrier-sensitive targets |
| Rotation | Each new connection gets an IP from the pool, usually a different one; to get a new IP on every request, send one request per connection (turn off keep-alive) |
| Sticky sessions | up to 30 minutes, set per session with the ttl parameter; the IP can change earlier |
| Targeting | Country and city targeting on every plan; in the United States also state and ZIP code; ASN targeting at no extra cost. City availability varies |
| Protocols | HTTP, HTTPS (CONNECT) and SOCKS5 |
| Logins | Username and password on every plan, or an IP allowlist (up to 10 IPs). Sub-users with their own credentials and traffic cap. API keys you can revoke at any time |
| Residential price | $1.50 for 1 GB · $0.75/GB from 5 to 100 GB · $0.52/GB at 1 TB |
| Rotating mobile price | $2.99 for 1 GB · $1.50/GB at 50 and 100 GB |
| KYC and payment | No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Crypto only: BTC, USDT, USDC, ETH, SOL, LTC |
| Blocked targets | Banking, government and payment-portal sites, plus SMTP (email-sending) ports 25, 465 and 587 |

## Rotating or sticky: which session does a scraper need?

A scraper needs rotation for pages that stand alone, and a sticky session for pages that depend on the previous request. **Rotate the IP for independent pages; hold one sticky IP only for as long as one multi-step flow lasts.**

| Scraping job | Session | How to set it | Why |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Product, listing or article pages fetched one by one | Rotating | One request per connection, keep-alive off | Spreads requests across many home IPs |
| Paginated search results | Sticky | `-session-pg7-ttl-10` | Pages 1 to 10 come from one visitor |
| Flow that sets a location or filter first | Sticky | `-zip-73104-session-okc2-ttl-15` | The setting and the result share one IP |
| Retry after a timeout or an error page | New session | Change the session ID | A new ID gives a new IP |

## Residential or mobile: which IP type fits which target?

Residential IPs fit most US targets: they carry state, city, ZIP and ASN targeting and cost less per GB than mobile. Mobile IPs fit sites built mainly for phones, and pages that look different on a carrier network.

| Target | IP type | Targeting | Price from |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| US e-commerce catalogues and prices | Residential, rotating | ZIP code or city | $0.52/GB |
| Travel fares and hotel rates by visitor location | Residential, sticky | State or city | $0.52/GB |
| Local listings and maps | Residential, sticky | ZIP code | $0.52/GB |
| Mobile-first sites and mobile web versions | Rotating mobile | Country level | $1.50/GB |
| Pages served differently per carrier | Dedicated port | T-Mobile, AT&T or Verizon | $3.75 a day |

## How do I point a scraper at the US gateway?

Point the scraper at `gw.fiftystateproxy.com` on port 7777 for HTTP/HTTPS or 7778 for SOCKS5, and put the targeting in the username. The guide on [how do I set up a US proxy for a script](https://fiftystateproxy.com/how-to-set-up-a-us-proxy/ "Step-by-step US proxy setup guide") covers other tools and a first test.

*Python: rotating pages, then one sticky listing*

```python
import requests

GATEWAY = "gw.fiftystateproxy.com:7777"
PASSWORD = "PASSWORD"

def proxies(user):
    url = f"http://{user}:{PASSWORD}@{GATEWAY}"
    return {"http": url, "https": url}

# Rotating: each requests.get opens a new connection, so a new IP
for item in ["https://example.com/item/1", "https://example.com/item/2"]:
    requests.get(item, proxies=proxies("USERNAME-country-us-state-oh"), timeout=30)

# Sticky: one IP for a paginated listing, up to ttl minutes
sticky = proxies("USERNAME-country-us-state-ok-city-oklahoma_city-session-okc2-ttl-15")
with requests.Session() as s:
    for n in range(1, 4):
        s.get(f"https://example.com/search?page={n}", proxies=sticky, timeout=30)

# Public pages only. Respect robots.txt, site terms and a low request rate.

## Web scraping proxies: FAQ

### Which proxies work for scraping US e-commerce and travel sites?

Rotating US residential proxies work for most e-commerce and travel pages, with a sticky session when a flow sets a location first. FiftyStateProxy includes state, city and ZIP targeting on every plan. Keep request rates low and follow each site's terms.

### How do I get a new IP on every request?

Send one request per connection, with keep-alive turned off. Every new connection is handed a pool IP, which is usually not the previous one. Most HTTP libraries reuse connections by default, so close each one after its request.

### How long can a sticky session last?

A FiftyStateProxy sticky session lasts up to 30 minutes, set per session with the ttl parameter; the IP can change earlier. Set the minutes with the ttl part of the username, and plan for an early IP change on long flows.

### Does unused scraping traffic expire?

No. Prepaid residential and rotating-mobile traffic never expires: unused GB stay on your account until you use them. A 1 TB plan can feed a crawler for as many months as the job takes.

### Is web scraping legal in the US?

Collecting public data is generally lawful in the US, but site terms, copyright and privacy law still apply. Scrape only public pages, respect robots.txt and rate limits, and leave personal data alone. This is not legal advice.

**Scrape public US data at volume** Residential traffic from $0.52/GB at 1 TB, targeting included. No KYC — no ID, no selfie, no documents. Pay in crypto.
