FAQ: curl_setopt and Residential Proxies
How does curl_setopt improve proxy performance?
curl_setopt allows fine-tuning connection parameters like timeouts (CURLOPT_TIMEOUT), retries (CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER), and DNS caching (CURLOPT_DNS_CACHE_TIMEOUT). When configured properly with LIKE.TG proxies, this reduces failed requests by up to 80% compared to default settings.
What's the optimal curl_setopt configuration for marketing scrapers?
For most marketing data collection tasks, we recommend:
- CURLOPT_PROXY → LIKE.TG gateway URL
- CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE → CURLPROXY_HTTP
- CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION → TRUE
- CURLOPT_USERAGENT → Localized browser string
- CURLOPT_TIMEOUT → 30 seconds
How do residential proxies differ from datacenter proxies in cURL performance?
Residential IPs like LIKE.TG's have three key advantages:
- Lower block rates (94% success vs 68% for datacenter)
- More accurate geo-targeting (real ISP associations)
- Better session persistence (important for marketing platforms that track user behavior)
