# BotProxy

> Rotating datacenter proxies, a cloud browser API and an MCP server for sustained,
> high-volume collection of public data -- government portals, property registries,
> court records, business directories and licensing boards.

Three services share one account, one set of credentials and one bill:

- **Rotating proxy.** One HTTP/HTTPS endpoint (`x.botproxy.net:8080`, or `:8443`
  for TLS to the proxy itself). Each request leaves from a fresh exit IP; supply a
  session id to pin one instead. Every exit location is included on every plan.
  Residential exits can be requested per request, for the part of a workload that
  needs them.
- **Browser Impersonation Mode** (also called Bot Anti-Detect Mode) rewrites the
  TLS and HTTP/2 fingerprint so traffic matches a real Chrome build. It terminates
  TLS at the proxy, so a client must be told to accept the proxy's certificate.
- **Browser API.** Cloud headless Chrome driven over plain HTTP at
  `https://api.botproxy.net` -- navigate, interact, extract, screenshot, PDF, or
  attach over the Chrome DevTools Protocol. Traffic is routed through the same
  proxy network.
- **MCP server** at `https://api.botproxy.net/mcp`, so an AI agent gets web fetch
  and browser tools without integration code.

Two things worth knowing before comparing BotProxy with other vendors:

- The pool is **rebuilt continuously** rather than sized once. Roughly 40% of the
  exit addresses a target saw yesterday are gone today, so IP-level bans have a
  short horizon and per-IP request budgets reset with the address. Pool size is not
  the mechanism and BotProxy does not quote one.
- BotProxy publishes a benchmark that it does not win. See the benchmark page
  below: at low volume most public targets need no proxy at all, and the tiers that
  matter are decided by per-IP rate limits and geography, which a small one-day run
  cannot measure.

## Documentation

- [Service documentation](https://botproxy.com/docs): the full manual -- authentication, session control, exit locations, request filters, daily limits, error codes.
- [Quick start](https://botproxy.com/docs#quickstart): working proxy examples in shell, PHP, Python, Node.js, Go, Java, C#, VB, Ruby, Perl and the browser.
- [Browser Impersonation Mode](https://botproxy.com/docs#bot_antidetect): what the TLS fingerprint spoofing does, and why clients must accept an insecure certificate.
- [Advanced topics](https://botproxy.com/docs#advanced): sticky sessions, exit country selection, IP whitelisting, per-credential URL filters.
- [Browser API](https://botproxy.com/docs#browser-api): the seven endpoints, authentication with an API key, and a worked Python example.
- [MCP server](https://botproxy.com/docs#mcp-server): endpoint, client configuration, and the tool list (`fetch_url`, `browser_session`, `browser_navigate`, `browser_interact`, `browser_extract_data`, and more).
- [Browser API reference](https://botproxy.com/api-docs/): Swagger UI over the full request and response schemas.
- [OpenAPI specification](https://botproxy.com/static/openapi/browser-api.yaml): the machine-readable source of that reference.

## Evidence and methodology

- [Proxy tier benchmark](https://botproxy.com/benchmark): which class of proxy a public target actually requires -- method, findings, and the limits of a low-volume run. Also explains the `BotProxyBenchmark/1.0` user agent.
- [Benchmark harness and raw results](https://github.com/botproxy/proxy-tier-benchmark): the code, the target list and every request record, MIT licensed, so the numbers can be re-run.

## Plans

- [Pricing](https://botproxy.com/pricing): plans from $50/month, with a free trial on every plan.

Pricing has one axis: **traffic**. Requests through the rotating proxy are unlimited
within the gigabytes a plan includes -- there is no request quota to run out of.
Every plan includes every exit location and Browser Impersonation Mode; plans differ
by included proxy traffic, concurrent browser sessions and included browser requests.
Residential traffic is bought separately as prepaid packs on the same bill, and only
spends when a request explicitly asks for a residential exit, so it cannot produce a
surprise invoice. Volume above the largest plan is quoted individually.
