Managed proxy access
Web Unlocker.Your client.
Less plumbing.
QuanticData Web Unlocker is a managed proxy for public-web data collection. Connect your HTTP client through residential or mobile exits, with browser TLS fingerprints, location controls and retries for eligible requests. Keep your own parser and workflow. Bandwidth is prepaid per GB, including transferred traffic from retries and blocked responses.
Start with 1 GB. Separate Residential and Mobile balances.
Account creation is free; Unlocker bandwidth is paid.

Change the access layer.
A normal proxy changes the network path of a request. A web unlocker also handles parts of the request identity and retry strategy. QuanticData uses browser TLS fingerprints and identity-header handling at the gateway, so your application can keep its existing HTTP workflow instead of maintaining those pieces itself.
Choose the exit tier, select a location and generate the proxy username in the dashboard. Configure your HTTP client once, then parse the returned content as you normally would. Optional rendering is available for workflows that need it; browser traffic consumes bandwidth too.
This is not a guarantee that every target will respond. Test representative public pages, set a sensible request rate and review response quality. Eligible requests may retry; POST requests are not automatically replayed. It does not grant access to private accounts, paywalls or data you are not authorized to collect.
Prepaid, not per successful page
Two exit networks.
Choose before you buy.
Buy whole GB from your wallet, starting at 1 GB. Residential and Mobile balances stay separate. The rate is per transferred GB, not per delivered record. Check the expiry shown for your provisioned balance; this is not an unlimited or never-expiring allowance.
Rates checked 11 September 2026. Final tier availability, expiry and total are shown before purchase. Both tiers count retries, blocked responses and rendering traffic. API free credit is not Unlocker bandwidth.
HTTP proxy integration
From account to first request.
- Choose a tier and buy bandwidth.Open Web Unlocker in your account, inspect the rate and buy the GB you need.
- Create dedicated credentials.Use the connection builder to select location and session settings. The proxy password is not your API key.
- Trust the Unlocker certificate.For HTTPS targets, obtain its CA certificate and scope trust to the client used for this integration.
curl --proxy http://unlock.quanticdata.io:9000 \
--proxy-user 'unlock-YOUR_ID-country-us:YOUR_PROXY_PASSWORD' \
--cacert ./qp-unlocker-ca.pem \
'https://example.com/'Download the CA using your API key from GET /api/v1/scraper/unlock/ca on app.quanticdata.io. Save it as qp-unlocker-ca.pem. The proxy terminates TLS to process the request; use it only for the intended public-web workflow.
For Mobile, use the generator’s Mobile username, which includes -tier-mobile. Do not reuse raw Mobile or Residential proxy credentials. Keep certificate verification enabled rather than adding -k.
Choose the right layer
Web Unlocker, raw proxy or data API?
These products solve different parts of the workflow. An Unlocker is useful when you want managed access but already have the application that parses and consumes the response.
| Product | You manage | What you buy |
|---|---|---|
| Raw proxy | Request identity, retries and parsing | Proxy bandwidth or dedicated IPs, depending on the network |
| Web Unlocker | Application logic and response parsing | Prepaid GB including transferred retry, block and rendering traffic |
| Web Scraper / SERP API | URL or query inputs and how you use the returned data | API calls under that product’s separate billing model |
Need Markdown or structured fields? See the Web Scraper API. Need parsed search results? Explore the SERP API.
Put access to work
Useful inputs.
Your business logic.
Price comparison
Collect public product pages, then normalize currency, shipping, availability and timestamps in your application. Store the source URL with each observation. Alerts and webhook delivery belong to your workflow; ask about a custom integration if you want help building it.
SEO research
Fetch public landing pages for content comparisons, metadata checks or localized research. Keep access errors separate from missing content. The proxy does not establish whether a page is indexed or improve your rankings. Use parsed SERP data when the task is a search query.
AI research datasets
Use page responses as inputs to your own extraction and retrieval pipeline. Preserve source URLs and observation times for traceability. For a tailored citation panel, custom dataset or recurring delivery, explore our Enterprise solutions.

Web Unlocker FAQ
What is a web unlocker proxy?
A web unlocker proxy adds managed request handling to a proxy connection. QuanticData combines residential or mobile exits with browser TLS fingerprints, identity-header handling and retries for eligible requests. Your HTTP client receives the response to parse. This is a prepaid bandwidth product, not a free browser-unblocking website.
Is Web Unlocker billed only for successful requests?
No. QuanticData Web Unlocker is prepaid per GB. Transferred traffic can include retries, blocked responses and browser-rendering traffic. This differs from the pay-per-success model of the separate data APIs. Start with a small workload and inspect consumption before estimating the budget for a larger collection.
Can I choose residential or mobile exits?
Yes, Web Unlocker has separate Residential and Mobile tiers with separate prepaid balances. Select the tier before buying bandwidth and creating the connection string. Mobile can only be purchased when its backing network is available. Its availability and current price are shown in the account before purchase.
Does it support country, state and city targeting?
The connection builder supports country, state and city selections from its location catalog. You can also choose rotating or sticky sessions. Use the generated username rather than copying parameters from another proxy product. Location choices depend on the selected pool; they do not guarantee a particular active IP or device.
How do HTTPS requests work?
The Unlocker terminates client TLS to inspect and rewrite the request, then connects onward to the target. For HTTPS targets, obtain the Unlocker CA certificate from the authenticated certificate endpoint and configure that certificate for this client. Keep certificate verification enabled; do not disable verification globally or send unrelated sensitive traffic.
Does the Web Unlocker return Markdown or structured data?
The proxy supplies the response for your own parser; it is not a substitute for an extraction schema. If you want a URL converted to Markdown or structured JSON, choose the separate Web Scraper API. For already-parsed search results, use the SERP API. Those products have their own billing.
Will a Web Unlocker increase my AI citations?
No proxy can guarantee citations or ranking. Web Unlocker can supply page access inside a research workflow; AI visibility measurement is a separate task. A useful citation study records the prompt, engine, language, market, observation time and actual cited URLs, with unsuccessful or unavailable observations kept separate from confirmed absence.
