Evocrawl provides different proxy types to help you scrape websites with varying levels of complexity. The proxy type can be specified using the proxy parameter.
By default, Evocrawl routes all requests through proxies to help ensure reliability and access, even if you do not specify a proxy type or location.

​
Location-Based Proxy Selection

Evocrawl automatically selects the best proxy based on your specified or detected location. This helps optimize scraping performance and reliability. However, not all locations are currently supported. The following locations are available:

The list of supported proxy locations will change over time.
If you need proxies in a location not listed above, please contact us and let us know your requirements. If you do not specify a proxy or location, Evocrawl will automatically use US proxies.

​
How to Specify Proxy Location

You can request a specific proxy location by setting the location.country parameter in your request. For example, to use a Brazilian proxy, set location.country to BR. For full details, see the API reference for location.country. 
from firecrawl import Evocrawl

firecrawl = Evocrawl(api_key="fc-YOUR-API-KEY")

doc = firecrawl.scrape('https://example.com',
    formats=['markdown'],
    location={
        'country': 'US',
        'languages': ['en']
    }
)

print(doc)
If you request a country where a proxy is not available, Evocrawl will use the closest available region (EU or US) and set the browser location to your requested country.

​
Proxy Types

Evocrawl supports three types of proxies:
  • basic: Proxies for scraping most sites. Fast and usually works.
  • enhanced: Enhanced proxies for scraping complex sites while maintaining privacy. Slower, but more reliable on certain sites. Learn more about Enhanced Mode →
  • auto: Evocrawl will automatically retry scraping with enhanced proxies if the basic proxy fails. If the retry with enhanced is successful, 5 credits will be billed for the scrape. If the first attempt with basic is successful, only the regular cost will be billed.
Note: For detailed information on using enhanced proxies, including credit costs and retry strategies, see the Enhanced Mode documentation.
