Catalog108 Practice Sandbox

You may send automated requests to Catalog108 lab pages for personal learning, course work, and the exercises in our curriculum. The Responsible Use rules below still apply: keep request rates reasonable, do not attempt to disrupt or overload the service, and do not use Catalog108 as a generic proxy or load-test target.

Fingerprint Test Tool

fingerprint.scrapingcentral.com is a free, no-signup browser fingerprint and bot-detection test tool. Checks run client-side in your browser and we do not store the resulting fingerprint or bot score. You may use the tool to evaluate your own scrapers, browsers, or stealth setups, but you may not use it to disrupt or overload the service, and you may not scrape or mirror its editorial content (copy, scoring logic, signal descriptions).

Proxy Pricing Benchmark

proxies.scrapingcentral.com is a free comparison tool listing public pricing data from third-party proxy providers. Prices and plans change without notice, the figures shown are point-in-time snapshots and we make no warranty of accuracy or fitness for any purpose, always verify with the provider before purchasing. You may not scrape or mirror our compiled benchmark dataset, the comparison, normalization, and editorial copy are our work even where the underlying price points are public.
