Finally got stable proxies for my side-hustle price monitoring

Picked up some e-commerce price monitoring gigs the past few months. Volume isn’t huge, but it has to run every day. The proxies I was using before kept dropping offline every couple of days. Waking up in the middle of the night to a sea of red errors was killing me.

Tried helodata’s residential proxies last week. City-level targeting is available, success rate stays around 99%, and latency is acceptable. Standard HTTP/SOCKS5, just swapped into my existing scripts with almost no config changes.

Now I can let a weekend run go without constantly checking it. Way less stressful than before. If anyone’s doing similar monitoring or data collection, feel free to give it a try. Got something better? Drop it below.
