Cross-Country Samples Are Hard to Get
Comparative studies need data from many countries, but sites show different content by visitor location.
Gather real local samples for social science, media and web research. FlashIP residential proxies reach sites in 195+ countries and regions as a local user, so you can collect public news, forum and social media data.
These are the problems teams run into most often.
Comparative studies need data from many countries, but sites show different content by visitor location.
Research samples are large. Collecting from news sites, forums and social platforms over time leads to throttling and bans.
Studies need to record when and where data was collected. An unstable setup makes results harder to trust.
From IP coverage to session control, here is what FlashIP brings to the job.
Residential IPs come from real household connections in 195+ countries and regions, so your data matches what locals see.
Pick IPs by country, state and city for cross-country and regional comparisons.
90M+ residential IPs rotate on every request, so long collections stay unblocked and samples stay complete.
Pair with datacenter proxies for open sources, billed per IP per month.
Four steps from setting your targets to running your first requests.
Set the research question, sample, countries and time frame, and confirm the sources are public.
Use residential proxies where you need a local view and datacenter proxies for open sources.
Gather data with your tools or scripts, and log the time and location of each record.
Deduplicate, clean and code the data before analysis.
Different tasks suit different proxies. The two marked Recommended are the usual choice here.
