Frequently asked questions

What is GitHub proxy?

GitHub proxy refers to intermediary servers used to mask the IP address of a scraper when accessing GitHub's website. This helps in avoiding IP bans and rate limits imposed by GitHub, ensuring continuous and efficient data scraping.

Can GitHub detect proxies?

Yes, GitHub can detect proxies, especially if they exhibit suspicious behavior or high request rates typical of scraping activities. They employ various techniques like IP reputation checks and rate limiting to identify and block such proxies. Using rotating proxies can help mitigate detection.

Which proxy is best for GitHub?

For scraping GitHub, residential proxies are often the best choice due to their high anonymity and lower risk of being blocked. Rotating proxies can also be effective, as they frequently change IP addresses, reducing the likelihood of detection.
