How can I use proxies (private) with Custom Grabber? - christojuan - 01-24-2021
Hi - I set up a custom grabber to scrape some contact data from a directory and was quickly blocked by the site that I was trying to scrape. Does anyone know how to enable my private proxies when running the Custom Data Grabber module that I created. At 4:02 in Loopline's video Custom Data Scraper - Scrape Any Data From Any Website - Scrapebox 2.0 - YouTube he mentions that you can use them. I have tried this setting https://www.screencast.com/t/1BfIqjvX but it does not seem to be enabling the proxies when I run the module.
Any insights/help would be appreciated.
UPDATE: I just purchased the Premium Email Plugin based upon another Loopline Tut Email Scraper - Email Verifier - Powerful Custom Data Scraper - Scrapebox Plugin - YouTube (excellent video - really that is a more advanced and easier to use Custom Data Scraper) - I'm waiting for that order to process. I can see where to add proxies within that product. Can't wait to start using it. Still, I would appreciate any help on this question.

In the plugin you just click options and then you can add them in. In the core of scrapebox it should have worked.
You can test if its working by putting in a totally bogus made up proxy and try grabbing custom data from any website, like one of your own. If it fails to load and times out then its using the proxy. If it loads up but just doesn't find any data, and says completed, then its not using the proxy. Make sure you place a check mark in the use proxies box, like in your screenshot.

Thanks very much for the response. I will check that out. Also, thanks for the awesome video that inspired me to buy the premium email scraping product. It is awesome!
