Using Residential Proxies to Reduce Scraper Rate Limits

I build a small Node.js scraper to collect product prices from UK, German, and US storefronts, then show how residential proxy settings can change its behavior when requests are rate-limited. The walkthrough covers country selection and proxy configuration using DataImpulse, without extending into a broader comparison of proxy providers or scraping approaches.

- Scraper setup and rate-limit example across three regional storefronts
- Residential proxy configuration: credentials, country suffixes, and rotating exit IPs
- Run-through of the updated scraper and practical next step when requests are blocked

Developers working with Node.js web scraping can learn the basic configuration flow and what to try when rate limits interrupt a project. Use the example as a starting point, and check the target sites’ terms and applicable rules before collecting data.
