Fetch a page from a residential address

For the sites that serve a home connection and refuse a datacentre.

By · Last updated: September 2026

TL;DR

Any request can now set residential: true to fetch the page from a residential internet address instead of a datacentre one. It costs 25 extra credits per page visit, not per operation, so a /scrape pays once however many results it reads off that visit. It is a requirement, not a preference: if no residential exit can take the request, it fails and is billed to nobody.

Free plan, no credit card. 1,000 credits a month.

Some sites answer a datacentre address differently from a home one. residential: true on any endpoint sends the page visit out through a residential connection. There is no fallback to the datacentre, because that answer is exactly what you asked not to get. It is one residential exit, not a rotating pool.

A residential result is never served to a request that didn't ask for one, and a regular result is never served to one that did. The Playground and the free tools don't offer it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a residential fetch cost?
25 credits per page visit on top of the operations, so a /scrape pays it once.
Is it a rotating proxy pool?
No. It is one residential exit. For large-scale rotation you want a proxy provider.
What if no residential exit is available?
The request fails with a handled error and costs nothing; it is never quietly fetched from a datacentre instead.
