API extraction and tunnel forwarding are two common functions in proxy services. They have different characteristics and applicable scenarios.
API extraction refers to the function of obtaining proxy IP through API interface. Users can obtain proxy IP through API request and apply it to various automated programs, scripts or software.
API extraction usually has the following characteristics:
Flexibility: Users can obtain proxy IP at any time according to their needs without manual operation.
Real-time: API extraction can provide real-time available proxy IPs to ensure timely updates of proxy IPs.
Automation: Through API extraction, users can integrate the proxy IP into their own programs or scripts to achieve automated proxy functions.
Tunnel forwarding refers to the function of forwarding network traffic through a proxy server. Users can configure a proxy server to forward network requests to the target website through the proxy server.
Tunnel forwarding usually has the following characteristics:
Privacy protection: Tunnel forwarding can hide the real source of network requests and protect the user's privacy and identity.
Geolocation: By selecting proxy servers in different geographical locations, you can simulate network requests from different regions for geolocation testing, access to region-restricted content, etc.
Traffic control: Tunnel forwarding can control and limit traffic, including bandwidth control, connection number limit, etc.
The choice of API extraction or tunnel forwarding depends on the specific usage scenario and requirements:
If you need to implement proxy functionality in your own program and automatically obtain and use the proxy IP, you can choose API extraction.
If you need to forward network traffic through a proxy server to hide the real request source or perform geolocation operations, you can choose tunnel forwarding.
You need to choose appropriate functions according to your specific needs and budget, and consider whether the agency service provider supports the corresponding functions.
