Hey Everyone! I am excited to launch our Web Unblocker!
We built Web Unblocker because scraping the web shouldn’t be this hard.
Over the past year, we kept hearing the same thing from teams trying to collect public data, they were constantly getting blocked, dealing with CAPTCHAs, rotating proxies, managing headless browsers… and wasting way too much time just trying to access the data before they could even do anything with it.
So we decided to solve that.
Web Unblocker handles all the messy stuff so your team can focus on the actual product.
It’s already helping users in areas like pricing intelligence, ad verification, SEO tracking...
This is just the beginning for us. If you work with web data and deal with blockers, I’d love for you to give it a try, and let us know what’s working (or not).
Thanks for checking us out!
Do you offer rotating IPs by session or per request and can users set their own rotation rules?
@lucas_edwards1 Thank you for your question! Yes, we do offer rotating IPs, and the rotation can be applied either per session or per request, depending on your needs. For Web Unblocker the rotation is fully handled by us. Feel free to reach out if you have more questions, also we have the free trial happening now, I'd love to hear your feedback!
It's a great product, and unlocking web verification is really useful!
@seanna_meng Thanks Seanna!
This looks like a dream setup for scrapers. Do you provide any usage analytics or dashboards?
@abigail_martinez1 Hi Abigail, thank you! Yes, we do provide a usage analytics dashboard that allows you to track your data usage and performance in real-time.
Novada is a fantastic toolkit for anyone serious about gathering web data. With so many different proxy types and APIs included, what do you suggest for new users trying to figure out where to begin especially when they have to balance scale, speed and accuracy?
@sadie_scott Thank you! We're thrilled that you see the value in Novada's products.
For new users, I recommend starting by understanding your specific needs in terms of scale, speed, and accuracy. If you're focusing on large-scale scraping and need fast, reliable access, I would suggest starting with our residential proxies for their high accuracy.
We also recommend utilizing our APIs to automate the process and fine-tune your setup for the best balance of performance. Once you're familiar with the tools, you can experiment with mixing different proxy types to optimize based on your particular use case.
Feel free to reach out if you need any help as you get started! And also take advantage of our Web Unblocker free trial :)
I love your emphasis on reliability. How do you keep ban rates low when operating at scale?
@lucas_parsons Thank you Lucas! We prioritize reliability and minimizing ban rates, especially at scale. To keep ban rates low, we use a combination of techniques: rotating IPs, intelligent request management, customizable rotation rules, selected and diverse proxy pool... Our goal is to make your web scraping experience as smooth and reliable as possible, and we continuously improve our infrastructure to keep ban rates as low as possible.
It's impressive that you also support mobile proxies. How does their performance stack up against datacenter proxies?
@camden_granger Thank you! Mobile Proxies are generally slower compared to datacenter proxies due to the nature of mobile networks and device connections. However, they provide excellent reliability for high anonymity and bypassing strict bot protections. Datacenter tend to be faster and offer more bandwidth. Each have their pros and cons, our team can usually help you identify the best fit for you depending on what you're trying to accomplish!
Does the Browser API allow for full session control like setting geolocation, user agent or simulating mouse movements for more complex scraping tasks?
@faisal_iftikhar Hi Faisal, yes, our Browser API does allow for full session control, including setting geolocation to simulate browsing from different locations. Regarding more complex tasks like simulating mouse movements, this depends on how the user writes their script. Essentially, if you need more advanced interactions, it can be implemented through the scripting layer, leveraging our browser control capabilities.
Feel free to reach out if you have specific use cases or need help with implementation!

Bypassing CAPTCHAs and blocks without the hassle? Novada Web Unblocker sounds like a powerful tool for anyone working with public data at scale. Congrats on the launch 🚀
@naderikladious Thanks so much, Nader! That’s exactly what we’re aiming for, making large-scale access to public data simpler and less frustrating. Really appreciate the support! Looking forward to seeing Linkinize launch soon 🚀
Great potential! Do you have a usage-based billing option or is it primarily subscription based?
@juan_smith1 Hi Juan, thanks! Right now we have a free trial on Web Unblocker. We also offer a pay-as-you-go option, which is really popular for users who want to test things out without committing upfront.
I love this all in one toolkit for data collection. Is the Web Unblocker easy to set up or does it require some configuration?
@theodore_leo2 Thanks Theodore! Web Unblocker is designed to be really easy to get started, just send a URL to the API and it returns the fully rendered HTML or PNG, no extra setup needed. That said, if you want more control (headers, sessions, etc.), it’s all configurable through simple parameters. If you’re interested to take a look, this is the documentation for the web unblocker: https://developer.novada.com/novada/advanced-proxy-solutions/web-unblocker/quick-start
Happy to share sample requests if you’re testing anything specific
How does Novada maintain IP reputation over time particularly with ISP and mobile proxies where bans can be subtle or delayed? Are there any built-in health tracking or feedback systems in place?
@janet_gardon Hi Janet, bans can definitely be subtle, especially with ISP and mobile proxies, and yes, they do happen. That’s why we put a lot of focus on tracking IP health. Overall, our IPs have very low risk, and we stay proactive to keep it that way
What a powerful combination of proxies and APIs. How do you manage IP rotation when you're scraping on a large scale?
@rock_rr Appreciate it, Rock. IP rotation is fully handled on our end, we have proxies across 200+ locations. For APIs like Web Unblocker, it’s all abstracted, you just send the URL, and we handle rotation, headers, cookies, and block detection behind the scenes
Impressive. Is Novada a good fit for SEO monitoring or price intelligence platforms that depend on large real time data streams? Or is it more suited for occasional scraping tasks?
@alice_patterson4 Thanks, Alice! Novada’s definitely a good fit for platforms doing real-time SEO or price monitoring. It’s designed to handle large, continuous data streams. Happy to share more if you’re exploring something specific
