Datacenter proxies and residential proxies perform differently under anti-bot scrutiny. Whatever mix your setup uses, CapSkip handles the CAPTCHA on your machine and adds no extra an external hop to the path.

CapSkip's API is designed to emulate the request format of major CAPTCHA-solving services. What this means, tools and scripts that already target other services can point at CapSkip with little more than a URL change and no new code.

Proxies is essential for serious scraping, and CapSkip works with proxies out of the box. You can route traffic however your setup requires while still solving CAPTCHAs on your own machine, which keeps behavior consistent across runs.
