Description

ReqKey enhances the API you control by incorporating key features such as API key authentication, usage credits, rate limiting, and analytics for requests. It operates with your custom middleware, which performs a single verification call for each incoming request; in this process, ReqKey checks the validity of the caller’s key, subtracts a usage credit from the consumer's balance, imposes their rate limit, and logs the request along with details like status code, latency, and location. Notably, it does not act as a proxy, gateway, or require any DNS modifications, ensuring that it does not introduce additional latency into your critical operations. The average validation time is under 5 milliseconds, and the credit system is designed to be per consumer, meaning that issuing a second key to a customer does not increase their quota, keeping balances consistent across different regions. Additionally, ReqKey offers features such as shadow limits, managed overages, reusable plans, alerts for low credits, and detailed logs that can be filtered by endpoint, status, consumer, and time period. In terms of usage tracking and billing, ReqKey accurately meters and monitors usage while allowing you to retain control over your own billing infrastructure. It also provides software development kits (SDKs) for various programming languages including Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, PHP, .NET, and Java, along with framework adapters compatible with FastAPI, Express, Django, and more, ensuring seamless integration into your existing applications. By offering this comprehensive suite of functionalities, ReqKey empowers developers to manage their APIs with greater flexibility and insight.

Description

Shifter is an affordable residential proxy network designed for gathering public web data, offering a cost-effective alternative to larger providers since its inception in 2012. Recent benchmarks indicate that Shifter outperforms leading residential proxy services, utilizing a consistent testing method across competitors. With pricing that is less than half of what many rivals charge per GB, Shifter boasts a comparable or even larger pool of IP addresses and significantly reduced latencies, often exceeding a 50% improvement. The expansive network encompasses over 205 million residential IPs spanning more than 195 countries, accessible via a single gateway endpoint for HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5. Users can target specific countries, states, cities, and ASNs by adjusting the proxy username, while session management allows for rotation with each request or fixation on a single IP for a predetermined duration, all with unlimited concurrency and billing based on GB usage. The platform features a comprehensive dashboard that provides real-time insights into bandwidth and requests, alongside collaborative team workspaces, a usage API, and extensive guides for programming languages and frameworks such as Python, Node.js, Go, PHP, Selenium, Playwright, and Puppeteer, ensuring a user-friendly experience for developers.
