Data is at the forefront of all operations and accurate data is of the utmost importance. Regardless of your industry whether you work in eCommerce, travel, a marketing agency, account management, web data extraction or data collection itself you require a proxy network to ensure unbiased, real-time data.
Luminati offers 4 separate networks for all of your proxy needs.
Rotating residential proxies consist of real-user IPs from every country and city across the globe including high-resolution targeting of ASN’s and ISPs. Luminati has the largest residential proxy network in the world with over 35 million peer end nodes provided by their Luminati SDK. The rotating residential network is commonly used to gather price comparison information or brand protection intelligence.
The Mobile proxy network is made up of real 3G/4G connections. With over 2 million mobile IPs throughout the world, they have in-depth, sophisticated targeting allowing you to emulate a real mobile user in any country, city, carrier or ASN. With their interface you can even change the user-agent so you can view the web using an iPhone with OSX, Samsung run on android and more. These features are needed when conducting ad verification and can be extremely useful when working with mobile-centric social media platforms.
Static residential proxies are proxies purchased by Luminati from an ISP and sold to customers for their exclusive use. This network allows you to emulate a real-user without worrying about rotation. Perfect for sites that require a log-in or prompt you to fill out a form, these non-rotating real-IPs will ensure uninterrupted task completion.
Luminati’s Data Center proxies are offered in multiple IP types including shared and exclusive proxies in the majority of locations across the globe with country and city targeting. Their large number of subnets and continuous maintenance of the network make their data center proxies extremely reliable. Extremely useful for mass crawling of unsophisticated target sites, the data center offers multiple IP types so you can find exactly what you need.
With Luminati’s IPPN you have the ability to choose from multiple IP types across its 4 separate networks.
Their IPs are offered with the option of shared and exclusive IPs. A shared IP is an IP used by multiple customers for an unlimited number of domains. Shared IPs are offered in groups, referred to as a pool that, using their data center network as an example, connects you to a pool of over 20,000 available IPs that can be rotated based on your specifications. With bandwidth-based pricing, you can utilize as many IPs as you need and rotate based on a certain amount of time, a certain number of requests or both.
Exclusive IPs allow you to guarantee the IP is only used by you for your target site. Exclusive IPs are offered with a ‘cooling period’ which refers to the number of days that IP has not been used for your target site before purchasing. These IPs also have an option to apply them to ‘all domains’ meaning this IP is used solely by you for any domain.
Along with shared and exclusive options, Luminati has static and rotating IPs as well. These options are more dependent on the network chosen. Static IPs are great for account management or other operations where IP rotation can cause an issue. Whereas rotating IPs are useful when wanting to check the same site from multiple geolocations.
Luminati offers many tools to assist in automating proxy operations.
