Proxies for price monitoring
Price monitoring means checking the same product pages every hour or every day and recording what changed. A set of RoyalProxy datacenter IPs runs that job at a fixed monthly cost.
Why use datacenter proxies for price checks?
Datacenter IPs cost $0.16 per IP per month and drop to $0.13 at 1,000 IPs or more, and they answer quickly. That suits repeated checks of the same pages.
A price check is light work: one product page or one API call per item. Your monthly bill stays the same however many checks the IPs carry.
How many IPs should I buy?
Divide your daily check count by the number of checks you want each IP to make per day. For example, 50,000 checks a day at about 1,000 per IP points to 50 IPs, at $0.15 each per month.
Orders start at 5 IPs and go up to 5,000. Paying for 3, 6 or 12 months up front takes 3%, 6% or 10% off the monthly rate.
Can I see prices for a specific country?
Datacenter IPs are available in 18 countries, and you choose the country when you buy. With United Kingdom IPs, the store sees a visitor from the UK.
Stores often show local currency and local shipping fees based on the visitor's IP. Checking from the right country keeps your price records comparable over time.
What if a store blocks datacenter IPs?
Move that one store to the RoyalProxy residential plan, which bills by GB and uses home connection IPs. Product pages are small, so a 10 GB pack ($4.00, at $0.40 per GB) covers a large number of checks.
Residential GB never expire, so a pack can sit in reserve for the few stores that need it. Datacenter IPs keep handling the rest of your list.
Set up RoyalProxy for Price monitoring

4
Schedule your price checker to connect through gate.royalproxy.online:6100 and log the result of each run.
Questions
Is checking public prices allowed?
Reading prices that any shopper can see is common practice in many markets. Follow each site's terms and keep request rates modest.
Can I connect over SOCKS5?
Yes. SOCKS5 runs on port 6200, and HTTP and HTTPS run on port 6100.
Can my server connect without a password?
Add up to 10 server IPv4 addresses under Allowed IPs in the dashboard. Those servers connect without sending the proxy password.
Can I mix datacenter and residential plans?
Yes. Both are paid from the same balance, and you switch between them with -zone-dc or -zone-res in the username.
