Proxy management is the thorn in the side of most web scrapers. Without a robust and fully featured proxy infrastructure, you will often experience constant reliability issues and hours spent putting out proxy fires - a situation no web scraping professional wants to deal with.

“How does Zyte Smart Proxy Manager work?” is the most common question we get asked from customers who after struggling for months (or years) with constant proxy issues, only to have them disappear completely when they switch to Zyte Smart Proxy Manager.

Let’s face it, managing your proxy pool can be an absolute pain and the biggest bottleneck to the reliability of your web scraping!

Over the past few years, there has been an explosion in the use of alternative data sources in investment decision making in hedge funds, investment banks, and private equity firms.

What a year 2018 has been for Zyte !!
It’s hard to know where to start…
This year has seen tremendous growth at Zyte , setting us up to have a great 2019.

Web scraping can look deceptively easy these days. There are numerous open-source libraries/frameworks, visual scraping tools, and data extraction tools that make it very easy to scrape data from a website.
