First, let’s begin by visiting the official website of ScrapeBox to download the app. Once we have it downloaded, we can proceed to get things going.
Log in to your Smartproxy dashboard, find residential proxies by choosing Residential under the Residential Proxies column on the left panel, and select a plan that suits your needs. Then, follow these steps:
After you’ve got your endpoints, you can pair residential proxies with ScrapeBox.
1. Open ScrapeBox.
2. Check the Use Proxies checkbox in Select Harvester and Proxies settings.
3. Click the Edit button found in the same settings menu to start setting up your proxies.
4. Depending on the authentication method you would like to use, type in the information of your chosen proxy authentication method as in the example below:
5. Save the proxy settings and you should see them appear in the Select Harvester and Proxies settings.
6. Select all the proxies you’ve entered and click the Modify button.
7. Select the option Mark all Proxies as Non-Socks proxies. If done correctly, you should see the letter “N” under each entered proxy in the “S” field in the proxy table.
8. Configure the rest of your ScrapeBox settings and run a test. To do this, check if the Harvester Status shows “Proxies Enabled”.
NOTE: Make sure you’re not checking the proxy status in the Proxy Editor itself, as you'll get a negative result. This happens because ScrapeBox doesn't support checks on backconnect proxies used by Smartproxy.
