Social platforms have the most sophisticated automated-traffic detection on the web, and they apply it to unauthenticated read traffic as aggressively as to writes. Datacenter addresses are typically blocked outright; residential addresses get challenged within a few hundred requests.
Platform APIs, where they exist, are expensive, rate-limited and often exclude precisely the public data you need.
Mobile proxies carry the highest trust of any address type on social platforms, because the platforms' own traffic is overwhelmingly mobile and carrier-NAT addresses cannot be blocked without collateral damage.
Combining mobile exits for the hardest surfaces with residential for the rest keeps costs sane while maintaining collection continuity.
How proxies solve it
Carrier addresses are hard to block
Thousands of genuine users share each mobile IP, so per-address blocking is not a viable defence.
Match the platform's dominant client
Mobile exits align with the device profile the platform expects, reducing challenge rates.
Geo-segment the conversation
Trends, recommendations and visible content vary by country. Collect from each market separately.
Sticky sessions for paginated feeds
Cursor-based feeds break when the exit changes mid-scroll. Hold the session for the pagination run.
Which proxy to use
Mobile Proxies
The highest-trust addresses available anywhere. Carrier-grade NAT means thousands of genuine users share each IP, which makes them almost impossible to block without collateral damage.

How we would build it
- 1
Stay on public surfaces
Collect only what is visible without authentication. Our Acceptable Use Policy prohibits credential-based access to third-party accounts.
- 2
Use mobile for the hard platforms
Escalate to mobile where residential challenge rates exceed a few percent.
- 3
Hold sessions across pagination
Feed cursors are frequently bound to the session. Rotating mid-run loses your place.
- 4
Throttle deliberately
Human-plausible pacing outperforms maximum throughput on these targets, every time.
