Octoparse Integration
Octoparse + residential proxies: scrape at scale without writing code
Add BytesFlows residential IPs to Octoparse's point-and-click scraping interface. No programming required — configure the proxy in Octoparse's task settings and let real residential IPs handle anti-ban protection.
Why Octoparse users add BytesFlows proxies
No code needed
BytesFlows proxy credentials go directly into Octoparse's task proxy settings. No scripting, no middleware — just enter host, port, and credentials in the Octoparse UI and your scraping tasks run through residential IPs.
Works with Octoparse Cloud
Octoparse Cloud Run tasks also support custom proxies. Configure BytesFlows in your cloud task settings to route all cloud scraping through residential IPs — ideal for 24/7 automated data collection jobs.
City-level geo targeting
Append geo parameters to your BytesFlows username to scrape from specific locations. Perfect for local SEO research, regional price monitoring, and geo-restricted content collection in Octoparse.
Add BytesFlows proxy to Octoparse in 4 steps
Configure in the Octoparse desktop application. No technical knowledge required.

Save settings and run the task. Octoparse will route all scraping requests through your BytesFlows residential IP. Monitor the task log to confirm requests are going through the proxy.
What Octoparse users scrape with residential proxies
No-code scraping with residential IPs makes these use cases possible without engineering resources.
E-commerce price monitoring
Track competitor prices on Amazon, eBay, and retailer sites. Residential IPs prevent price scraper detection that causes blocked or fake price responses.
Real estate data collection
Scrape property listings from Zillow, Realtor.com, and local MLS sites. Residential IPs match the expected browsing origin for real estate searches.
SERP monitoring
Track Google and Bing search rankings for specific keywords from different countries or cities. Use geo-targeted BytesFlows IPs for location-accurate SERP data.
Travel price comparison
Collect flight, hotel, and rental car pricing from booking sites. Residential IPs prevent geo-based price discrimination in travel scraping.
