## What does a US scraping setup get from Lodestate?

| Attribute | Value |

## Should a scraper rotate its IP on every request?

**Rotate for independent page fetches, and hold a sticky session for anything that spans several requests, such as pagination, search filters or a cart.** On Lodestate, each new connection usually gets a new IP. To change IP on every request, send one request per connection with keep-alive turned off.

A sticky session keeps one IP for up to 30 minutes, set with the ttl parameter. Use it when a site ties a search or a chosen location to the visitor's IP.

## Which US targets need residential IPs, and which need mobile?

**Residential IPs cover nearly all public US data; a dedicated carrier port is the exception for mobile versions of a site.** Choose the session type by how the target builds its pages.

### Which proxy fits which public data source?

| Public data source | Proxy | Session and targeting |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Retail product pages and prices | Residential | Rotating; ZIP when prices vary by area |
| Travel fares and hotel rates | Residential | Sticky; state or city of the traveller |
| Search engine result pages | Residential | Rotating; city or ZIP |
| Job listings and business directories | Residential | Rotating; country or state |
| Mobile version of a site | Dedicated 4G/5G port | Carrier IP, rotated by link or API |
