What type of proxy servers to I need for API calls?

Hello,

I try to make a lot of API calls on a crypto exchange, like 1000 calls per minute with a python script. Unfortunately if you exceed 5 calls per minute, you will get the error message "rate limit!" and then you're IP banned for 1 minute.
So I want to split the API calls on at least 5 proxies to not run into the rate limit and avoid the 1 minute ban.

What kind of proxy is the best one for this case? I think a cheap datacenter proxy is enough, but I'm not sure, that's why I want to ask you guys.
And I also appreciate a recommendation for cheap proxies for my case.

Thank you in advance.

1000 calls per minute/5 calls per minute = 200 proxy

Oops I mean 5 calls per second, so I can do about 300 calls per minute with one IP.
But what kind of proxies are the best and cheapest ones for my case?

You should go for rotating proxies, around $15-20/month for what you are looking, but sometimes they fail to get the request. So your code should have a fail safe to request that url until you get a valid response. If you just want 2-3 IPs, best is to use a cheap VPS with 5 IPs assigned.

But why should I go for rotating proxies? Isn't it enough to take 5 datacenter proxies and rotate through them?
Or are datacenter proxies bad for API calls?

Yes thank you, but still, are datacenter proxies enough for my case?

My post was because you stated that you need 200 IPs/minute. But after that, you are good to go with datacenter proxies. You can get them very cheap $1.25/month for a dedicated one.

Ahh that makes sense.
Yeah well then I take a few cheap datacenter proxies.
Thank you all

If not big use, you can use some accounts for free API calls
Such as from, scraper API, scrapingbee...and so on

A cheap datacenter proxy can sustain your system for a definite amount of time, as long as it takes for the platform you're sending requests to understand that you're botting. Think about it, would a real person ever sit in front of a shared, datacenter device all day and send requests? They won't right?

This is why mobile proxies are powerful when you're sending API requests. Because true mobile proxies connect to real network towers and have dedicated device signatures, platforms are tricked to believing that you are a real cell phone user sending api requests. Also because mobile proxies keep rotating between your proxies and a general pool of IPs being used by multiple users, platforms need to think twice before blocking you as they can be blocking any one.
