Frequently Asked Questions
Why use proxies for API testing instead of mocking?
Why use proxies for API testing instead of mocking?
Mocking tests your code's handling of responses, but proxies test the actual API behavior under realistic conditions. Both approaches are valuable for comprehensive testing.
How many IPs do I need for rate limit testing?
How many IPs do I need for rate limit testing?
This depends on your rate limit design. For per-IP rate limits, you need enough IPs to test threshold behavior—typically 10-50 IPs for basic testing, more for comprehensive scenarios.
Can I use free proxies for API testing?
Can I use free proxies for API testing?
Free proxies are unreliable and may inject data or fail unpredictably, making them unsuitable for consistent testing. Paid services provide the reliability testing requires.
Should I use residential or datacenter proxies for API testing?
Should I use residential or datacenter proxies for API testing?
Datacenter proxies are faster and cheaper for most testing. Use residential proxies specifically when testing behaviors that might differ based on IP reputation or consumer network patterns.
