Working with proxies is often cumbersome, inconvenient, and frustrating. Nimble Proxy was designed from the ground up to raise the bar and deliver an exceptional experience by natively integrating cutting-edge technology and providing premium quality and high performance on every front. Customers use Nimble Proxy to meet a variety of data-gathering needs, including:
  • E-commerce product data for dynamic pricing

  • Alternative data for Fintech applications
  • Automated web monitoring for brand protection

​
How it works

Nimble Proxy provides a first-class proxy experience with granular control that includes:
  • Country, state, and city-level geotargeting
  • Backconnect gateway for a managed, single point of access
  • Custom pipelines for detailed usage reporting and budget control
  • Intuitive and full-featured dashboard
  • Powerful account management via the Admin API

​
Technical Features

  • IP Pipelines – Control and monitor each of your proxy use cases individually by compartmentalizing them with IP pipelines. Each pipeline reports usage and statistics independently, allowing for granular auditing and budget spending control. Furthermore, a pipeline allows you to configure proxy settings once, including target geolocation, session control, IP rotation, and more, and requests made through each pipeline automatically inherit those settings.
  • Geo-location targeting – flexibly target geolocations by country, state, or city.
  • Session control – Once you start a session, Nimble will keep the connection to your designated IP open as long as you keep the session active. In case it goes offline, we will assign the session to the next-best IP.
  • IP rotation – By default, we’ll provide the best IP for the task at hand, with each new request.
  • IP allowlist (whitelist) – In addition to using user-password authentication, you can create an IP allowlist, to give your IP direct access to a pipeline of your choice.
