Proxies

At a glance

The community member is asking if they can use their own proxy instead of Apify's provided proxies when scraping a website, as the site they are trying to scrape requires a captcha when accessed through Apify's proxies. The other community members respond that it depends on the specific Actor (web scraping tool) being used, and that the community member should be able to find the Proxy and Browser configuration section in the Actor's input to set up their own proxy.

Am I able to utilise my own proxy when scraping instead of Apify's provided proxies? It appears one site I am attempting to scrape requires a captcha when accessing via Apify's proxies.

Hi , Really depends on Actor, that you are using and if it allows to setup Proxy Configuration on its Input.
I am just using apify/web-scraper
Then you should be able to dinf section Proxy and Browser configuration on the Actor's Input. πŸ™‚
