Since we introduced operator data to the API in December 2021 we've often been asked by customers to broaden the types of operators that we support and generally expand on the feature. To deliver on those requests we showed last year how we had been adding decentralised VPN operators and then a month later we integrated operator data into the positive detection log within customer dashboards.
Today we're improving operator data again by building operator profiles for scraping services. We've been monitoring many of these services since last year and we feel now is the right time to create distinct operator cards and expose operator data within our API for these organisations.
Above is one such card for Oxylabs which is one of the largest operators in the scraping and residential proxy selling space. You'll also find cards for their many competitors of all sizes.
Broadening the kinds of operators we list doesn't stop here; we will start to include datacenter hosts, residential proxy sellers, click farming services and more in future updates, we are committed to expanding our operator data with the rich cards like the one above and detailed and easy to parse data exposed through our API.
That's all for today, thanks for reading – we hope you have a great week!
