I’m setting up a Python script to track localized Spotify Premium pricing and daily chart positions across different European countries. Datacenter IPs get blocked almost immediately or default to standard USD rates. Should I use residential or mobile proxies for this, and how do I prevent session drops during long data runs?

Datacenter proxy ranges are publicly indexed, so platforms like Spotify flag them automatically. To pull accurate local pricing and maintain stable sessions without rate-limit blocks, you need residential proxies with country-level targeting and sticky session controls that hold the same IP address long enough to finish multi-page data walks.

If your scraper keeps failing over to default USD rates, Spotify is catching your server subnets and blocking regional header overrides. We hit this exact wall on a price tracking tool until we switched our request pipeline to a dedicated spotify proxy setup from SimplyNode. Setting up country-matched residential IPs keeps every request pinned to an authentic local connection, letting your scraper pull accurate rates without triggering blocks.
