South Africa residential proxies

What you get in South Africa

Target South Africa in one flag

The country goes in the username. Everything else about the gateway stays the same, so switching markets is a string change, not a new integration.

# curl
curl -x pr.quanticdata.io:7777 -U "USER-country-za:PASS" https://ipinfo.io/json

# Python requests
proxy = "http://USER-country-za:PASS@pr.quanticdata.io:7777"
requests.get("https://ipinfo.io/json", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=30)

# Node 18+ (undici)
new ProxyAgent({ uri: "http://pr.quanticdata.io:7777", token: "Basic " + Buffer.from("USER-country-za:PASS").toString("base64") })

Verify with the proxy tester: the response from ipinfo.io should show a South African ISP and "country": "ZA". For a city, generate strings with the dashboard or POST /v1/public/proxies/generate with country and city.

What South African IPs are used for

• Localized prices and availability. Takealot, Gumtree, Property24 and Bidorbuy show different prices, stock and delivery options by region; a South Africa exit returns what a South African shopper sees.
• Search results as a local user. Google, Bing and DuckDuckGo results differ by country; the SERP API takes country: "za" and routes through the same pool.
• Ad and content verification. Confirm geo-targeted campaigns and localized pages from inside the market.
• Lead lists and market research. Business listings, reviews and job postings from South Africa directories, without the geo wall.

Ready-made collectors that already accept a South Africa location or market: Google Maps Scraper API, Google Shopping API, Google Jobs API. Each takes a keyword or an id, not a URL, and is billed per delivered row.

Rotating or sticky

Rotating gives every request a fresh South African IP and is right for one-shot page fetches. Sticky keeps one IP for a session of up to 120 minutes and is right for multi-step flows such as search, click, detail, cart. Both are modes of the same plan; the rotating proxies page explains the trade-off and the bandwidth math is in how much proxy data do I need.
