Web scraping

Residential proxies built for
web scraping at any scale

Datacenter IPs get flagged the moment a target site checks the ASN. Real residential IPs come from home broadband connections, so your scraper's requests look like ordinary users — which is exactly what anti-bot systems are tuned to let through. Roam gives you a rotating residential pool across 190+ countries at a flat $2/GB, with no monthly commitment and a balance that never expires.

Why Roam fits this job

$2/GB flat

Cheapest pay-as-you-go residential rate around — no plan, no minimum.

Rotate or stick

Fresh IP per request, or hold one for a whole session — controlled from the username string.

190+ countries

Geo-target the exit country (and state/city where available) to see localized content.

Standard protocol

HTTP/HTTPS with user:pass auth — drops into requests, Scrapy, Playwright, curl, anything.

bash — Roam quick start

# Rotating residential exit — new IP each request
import requests
proxies = {"http": "http://USER-session-rand123:PASS@gw.roamproxy.com:41080",
           "https": "http://USER-session-rand123:PASS@gw.roamproxy.com:41080"}
r = requests.get("https://example.com", proxies=proxies)
print(r.status_code)  # 200 — request came from a real residential IP

Set it up in minutes

Sign up and grab 300MB free

Register with an email, verify, and Roam credits a 300MB residential trial — enough to validate your target sites before paying a cent.

Copy your proxy endpoint

From the dashboard, take your username:password and the gw.roamproxy.com endpoint. Add a -session- suffix to the username to hold a sticky IP, or omit it to rotate.

Point your scraper at it

Set the proxy in requests/Scrapy/Playwright. Choose the exit country by adding -country- to the username.

Scale on pay-as-you-go

You're billed $2 per GB of traffic. No monthly plan to outgrow, and unused balance never expires.

FAQ

Why use residential proxies instead of datacenter proxies for scraping?

Datacenter IPs share known hosting-provider ASNs that anti-bot systems flag instantly. Residential IPs come from real home-broadband ISPs, so requests blend in with normal user traffic. Roam offers both — residential at $2/GB for tough targets, datacenter at $0.80/GB for throughput-heavy jobs where IP quality matters less.

How do I rotate IPs on each request?

Add a random session token to your proxy username (e.g. USER-session-). Change it each request for a fresh IP, or keep it fixed to hold the same IP for a whole session. No API calls needed — it's all in the username string.

Is web scraping with Roam proxies legal?

Using proxies is legal; what matters is what you scrape and how. Scrape only publicly available data, respect robots.txt and rate limits, and don't collect personal data unlawfully. Roam is a network provider — you're responsible for compliant use under our Terms of Service.

What's the cheapest way to start?

The 300MB free trial (no card required), then $2/GB pay-as-you-go with no minimum top-up beyond $2. Balance never expires, so you can buy a little and use it over months.
