Proxy setup

To scrape Amazon data using Smartproxy’s datacenter proxies, you’ll first need to do a little setup in the dashboard.

1. If you haven't done so already, grab a datacenter proxy plan that best suits your needs.
2. To change your default username or password, navigate to the Proxy setup → Authentication method section. To change your password, click the Edit password icon next to it. If you want to change your username, delete the current user and create a new one with your desired credentials.
3. Next, configure various settings in the Endpoint generator. Enter the same username and password from above in the Authentication method section.
4. Select a Proxy location. You can choose from various countries or select All to have one assigned randomly.
5. Select a Session type between Rotating and Static. If you select a rotating type, the IP address will change by itself, but you’ll have to rotate your headers with each request. Meanwhile, if you use a static session type, you shouldn’t make too many requests from the same IP address, and make sure to change your headers frequently to avoid them getting rate-limited or blocked.
6. Choose an Output format. The choice depends on how and where you’ll want to implement it.
7. You’ll see a list of generated endpoints on the right side. If you wish, you can increase or decrease the maximum number of endpoints to generate (only if your session type is sticky).
8. Finally, save the list as a TXT or CSV file or copy it to your clipboard to save it anywhere easy to find.
