## Questions about private proxies for research.

### What is web scraping?

Web scraping is an automatic method to obtain large amounts of data from websites. A web scraper is a specialized tool designed to accurately and quickly extract data from those web pages.

### What are some web scraping tips?

- Respect websites and their users
- Only collect publicly available data
- Spread your requests over many IPs and over time
- Schedule large jobs for off-peak hours
- Identify your scraper honestly and follow each site's terms

### Does Rayobyte offer web scraping services?

The [Scraping API](/products/web-scraping-api/) runs the proxies, browsers and retries for you and returns the page as HTML.

### How does your residential bandwidth model work?

The residential bandwidth you purchase doesn’t expire. We offer one-time purchases with no commitment. Once you buy 50 GB, you have access to that 50 GB until you use it up. With the option to always purchase more if you need it.

### How will I get my proxies after I purchase them?

Static IPs are ready as soon as you buy. Premium Residential works as soon as you sign up.
