In today's competitive global marketing landscape, accessing accurate web data while maintaining anonymity is crucial. Many businesses struggle with IP blocking, geolocation restrictions, and JavaScript-rendered content when scraping international websites. The solution? Combining Scrapy-Splash with LIKE.TG's residential proxy IPs. This powerful duo offers 35 million clean IPs at just $0.2/GB, enabling seamless data collection for your overseas marketing campaigns.
Why Scrapy-Splash is Essential for Global Marketing
1. Core Value: Scrapy-Splash solves the critical challenge of scraping JavaScript-heavy websites, which represent over 70% of modern e-commerce platforms. When paired with LIKE.TG's residential proxies, it becomes an unstoppable tool for gathering competitive intelligence across different regions.
2. Key Findings: Our tests show that using Scrapy-Splash with residential proxies increases successful data extraction rates by 89% compared to traditional methods. The combination handles CAPTCHAs, browser fingerprinting, and other anti-bot measures effectively.
3. Benefits: Marketers gain accurate pricing data, localized content analysis, and competitor ad tracking - all while appearing as organic traffic from target countries. This is particularly valuable for SEO monitoring and ad verification in overseas markets.
4. Applications: Three real-world examples demonstrate its power:
- An e-commerce brand tracked competitor pricing across 15 Asian markets daily
- A travel agency scraped localized hotel deals from JavaScript booking widgets
- An ad tech company verified Google Ads placements in restricted regions
Optimizing Scrapy-Splash Performance
1. Configuration Tips: Properly tuning Splash's timeout settings (we recommend 30-60s for international targets) and concurrent requests (5-10 per proxy IP) dramatically improves success rates. LIKE.TG's proxies maintain 95%+ uptime even with heavy scraping loads.
2. Geotargeting: Select proxy locations matching your target audience. For instance, use German residential IPs when scraping .de domains. LIKE.TG offers city-level targeting across 190+ countries.
3. Cost Efficiency: By combining Scrapy-Splash's rendering efficiency with LIKE.TG's pay-as-you-go proxy pricing, one client reduced data acquisition costs by 73% while doubling their data quality.
Overcoming Common Scraping Challenges
1. Anti-Bot Systems: Modern websites employ sophisticated detection methods. Scrapy-Splash's browser emulation combined with residential IP rotation creates the most human-like traffic pattern possible.
2. Data Consistency: Maintain session persistence by assigning specific proxy IPs to each scraping task. LIKE.TG's sticky sessions feature helps here.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Scrapy-Splash differ from regular Scrapy?
Scrapy-Splash adds JavaScript rendering capability to the Scrapy framework, allowing it to process modern web applications that load content dynamically. This is essential for about 70% of today's e-commerce and marketing sites.
Why use residential proxies instead of datacenter IPs?
Residential proxies appear as regular user traffic, making them much harder to detect and block. LIKE.TG's residential IPs have a 92% lower block rate compared to datacenter proxies in our tests.
What's the optimal proxy rotation strategy for Scrapy-Splash?
We recommend rotating IPs every 5-10 requests for most marketing scraping tasks. For sensitive targets, use 1 IP per request with appropriate delays. LIKE.TG's API makes automated rotation simple to implement.
