## What it is
Decodo (formerly Smartproxy) is a commercial rotating proxy network and web scraping platform offering 125M+ residential, mobile, ISP, and datacenter IPs across 195+ locations, plus scraping APIs and a Site Unblocker. This repository contains code examples, integration guides, and general documentation for using the Decodo proxy service.

## Use cases
- scrape websites without getting blocked or rate-limited
- rotate residential IPs for web data collection
- manage multiple accounts with unique IP addresses
- monitor SERP rankings and localized search results
- bypass CAPTCHAs and geo-restrictions
- collect e-commerce competitor pricing data
- integrate proxies into Python scrapers or bots
- fetch Google search results as clean JSON for AI agents

## When to choose
- you need large-scale, reliable proxy infrastructure with geo-targeting and high uptime
- you want managed scraping APIs or anti-bot bypass instead of building your own unblocking logic
- you need rotating or sticky residential, mobile, ISP, or datacenter IPs with HTTP(S)/SOCKS5 support

## When to avoid
- you need a free or self-hosted proxy solution - this is a paid commercial service
- you only need simple HTTP requests without anonymity or rotation requirements
- you want an open-source proxy library you can inspect and modify
