General Overview
What types of proxies does Flamingo offer?
Flamingo provides Residential proxies (real-device IPs for high anonymity and broad reach) and ISP proxies (static, ultra-low latency, unlimited bandwidth). Residential excels at scraping, SERP/SEO, and ad verification; ISP is great for logins, secure sessions, monitoring, and automation.
Do the proxies or data expire?
Residential: Non-expiring GBs—buy once, use any time. ISP: Available daily, monthly, or quarterly with renewal options to keep static IPs.
Which use-cases are supported?
Web scraping, SERP/SEO, ads verification, price monitoring, brand protection, QA, inventory checks, and more—subject to lawful and compliant use.
Which regions are available?
Residential: 180+ countries with city-level density in major markets; ASN/ISP targeting in many locales. ISP: curated countries on virgin/unshared subnets.
Technical & Setup
Rotating vs Sticky Sessions?
Rotating assigns a fresh IP per request/interval. Sticky keeps the same IP for a set duration—useful for logged-in flows.
How do I authenticate?
Auth: Supports standard username/password authentication and IP whitelisting.
curl -x http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT https://httpbin.org/ip
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT",
"https": "http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT",
}
response = requests.get("https://httpbin.org/ip", proxies=proxies)
print(response.text)
const axios = require('axios');
const { HttpsProxyAgent } = require('https-proxy-agent');
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent('http://USER:PASS@HOST:PORT');
axios.get('https://httpbin.org/ip', { httpsAgent: agent })
.then(resp => console.log(resp.data))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
How fast are the proxies?
ISP: Low latency (0-40ms). Residential: ~100-300ms depending on distance.

We source ethically, enforce anti-abuse, and monitor infrastructure. Encryption and compliant rotation help maintain privacy.
