About Decodo
Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) is a rapidly growing proxy and data intelligence platform trusted by over 50,000 users worldwide. With the industry's largest IP pool of 115 million+ residential addresses spanning 195 countries, Decodo offers premium proxy infrastructure at an accessible price point, making enterprise-grade tools available to businesses of all sizes.
Decodo provides a full spectrum of proxy types: Residential, Datacenter, ISP, and Mobile proxies. Their residential network delivers city-level geo-targeting with session control options, allowing users to choose between rotating IPs on every request or maintaining sticky sessions up to 30 minutes for login-dependent tasks.
One of Decodo's standout features is its suite of no-code scraping solutions. The Site Unblocker handles anti-bot bypass automatically, while the SERP Scraping API and eCommerce Scraping API return structured, parseable data without requiring custom proxy management. For developers, the Social Media Scraping API enables compliant data collection from major social platforms.
The platform's Chrome and Firefox browser extensions make casual proxy use effortless — install the extension, select a location, and browse with a new IP instantly. This is particularly useful for manual research, content verification, and quick geo-testing without configuring proxy settings system-wide.
Decodo's dashboard is one of the most intuitive in the industry, providing real-time usage analytics, traffic monitoring, sub-user management, and API key generation in a clean, modern interface. Users can create multiple sub-users with independent credentials, track bandwidth consumption per project, and set usage limits to control costs.
For technical users, Decodo supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 protocols with both username/password and IP whitelisting authentication. Integration guides are available for Python, Node.js, Java, PHP, cURL, Scrapy, Selenium, Puppeteer, and Playwright, with copy-paste code snippets for quick setup.
Decodo maintains 24/7 customer support via live chat, an extensive knowledge base, and dedicated account managers for business plans. With transparent, competitive pricing and a 3-day money-back guarantee, Decodo is an excellent choice for teams that need reliable proxy access without enterprise-level budgets.
