Redfin proxies for production scraping.
Recommended setup: residential proxies, rotating sessions, based on what we see working in production against Redfin. Copy the recipe and ship.
Redfin's anti-bot reality.
A Redfin proxy routes your scraper through a residential IP, so Redfin sees an ordinary visitor instead of a server. SimplyNode's recommended setup for Redfin is residential proxies with rotating sessions, country-matched to your data. It is the same pay-as-you-go pricing as everywhere — no Redfin surcharge. Sites like Redfin flag datacenter IP ranges, repeated fingerprints, and aggressive request rates. Residential IPs from real homes clear the IP-reputation checks; the rest is pacing and good session hygiene.
Captcha challenges
"Are you a robot?" pages trigger on suspicious IPs plus network-layer fingerprinting. Residential IPs avoid most of it.
Geo-priced content
Prices and content differ by country; the wrong IP returns the wrong market's data. Country targeting matters.
Aggressive rate limits
Too many requests from one IP is ban-bait; even residential IPs need rotation and cooldowns at scale.
Session-required pages
Carts, checkout, and some pages need session continuity. Rotating IPs break the flow; sticky sessions fix it.

Mistakes that get you blocked on Redfin.
We see these constantly in customer pipelines. Each fix is a one-line change.
Using datacenter proxies
Datacenter IPs get flagged instantly. Use residential — we don't sell datacenter for this reason.
Wrong country = wrong data
Pin the country (e.g. country-us) so you get the right localized prices/results, not a default.
Rotating mid-pagination
Use a sticky session for a single multi-page walk; switch sessions only between separate items.
Default / blank User-Agent
python-requests and curl UAs are blocked on sight. Send a realistic browser User-Agent.
