Floppydata

𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿: 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗱 🍂

▫️𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 - pay for traffic, static IPs, and scraping credits from one balance. Auto-renewal and auto top-up available.
▫️𝟏 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗜𝗣 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝟒 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵𝘀 - now available as a standalone option.
▫️ 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 - find it under profile → 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿 & 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻.

You can list all the features and updates you want, but the real measure of how things are going isn't a changelog, it's what customers actually say:

"Been using Floppydata for a while now to manage a few different client accounts and honestly it just works. Their support is genuinely great too, quick replies and actually helpful, not just copy paste answers... Overall no complaints, would recommend."

That's the real summary of the month. Everything else is just details.

A special thank you to our 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗺 — you're one of the reasons people recommend us to others.

If you've got something to say about working with us too, we'd love to hear it 🙏

𝗪𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁? 💳

Yep, Floppydata now has a 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘁 — a balance you can use to pay for traffic, static IPs, and scraping credits.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹:
Keeping funds on your Wallet is what lets everything run on autopilot: IPs renew and traffic tops up on its own, no manual action each time. Especially handy if you pay in crypto.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘂𝗽:
Card, crypto, or PayPal.

𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁:
You can now set up auto-renewal for static IPs — funds get deducted from your Wallet automatically, and your IPs stay yours.

Auto top-up is also available for rotating traffic — set a condition, and Wallet buys more traffic before you even notice it's running low. There's still a +10% bonus on that auto top-up for now.

𝗪𝗘𝗘𝗞𝗟𝗬 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗦

A few things shipped over the past week.

◽️ 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝘂𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗼𝘄𝘀𝗲𝗿

You can now spin up real browser sessions in the cloud: create one via the API, connect over WebSocket, and control it with Playwright or Puppeteer.

It's free to use — you only pay for the proxy traffic your sessions burn.
We'd really love for you to put it through its paces. If you find something cool (or break it in a creative way) — let us know.

◽️ 𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗴𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗔𝗣𝗜

Added the /𝚜𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚌𝚑 method.

Send a query — get back clean organic Google results: title, URL, and snippet, in ranking order. Every successful request counts as one Web Data request.

◽️ 𝗗𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻

You can now see in the dashboard exactly which hosts your requests went to. Added search and sorting on every field, so tracking down where your traffic suddenly went is a lot easier now.

🚨 𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗨𝗣𝗗𝗔𝗧𝗘 🚨

After months of deep research, countless meetings, and at least one designer's minor existential crisis, we're thrilled to announce something the entire proxy industry has clearly been waiting for: three whole interface themes:

𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁, 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝗿𝗸

Early reports suggest a sharp spike in user productivity, though we suspect that's mostly people finally able to browse their IP stats at 3am without going blind.

𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 → 𝗔𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁 & 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲

P.S. We also shipped a bunch of actual product updates this month. But let's be honest, none of them stood a chance against dark mode 🌚

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗼𝘄. 𝗡𝗼 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁 — 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗽𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁 🫂

◽️ 𝗖𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝘃𝟐 𝗶𝘀 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲

We rebuilt the API around real workflows:

fetch page → /𝚠𝚎𝚋-𝚍𝚊𝚝𝚊/𝚏𝚎𝚝𝚌𝚑
build proxy → /𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚢/𝚛𝚘𝚝𝚊𝚝𝚒𝚗𝚐/𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚗𝚎𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗𝚜
check proxy → /𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚡𝚢/𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚌𝚔
check usage → /𝚊𝚌𝚌𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚝/𝚞𝚜𝚊𝚐𝚎

Proxy integrations are simpler too. The API returns a ready-to-use connectionString, so there’s no need to combine username, password, host, and port.

◽️ 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗠𝗖𝗣

MCP-compatible agents can now work with Floppydata. Give the agent one API key, and it can fetch Web Data, create proxy connections, check proxies, read balances, and check usage.

◽️ 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝘂𝗽𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱

API keys are created automatically. The snippet shows a real request and response with proxy check, and old proxy strings are in a separate tab.
Less manual setup, fewer errors, smoother API and AI-agent workflows.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗨𝗗𝗣 𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

Most proxies work only with TCP — good for websites, scraping, account management, and other HTTP-based tasks.

But real-time traffic often runs on UDP:
▫️ Online gaming
▫️ Video calls
▫️ Streaming
▫️ DNS lookups
▫️ VoIP calls

𝗧𝗖𝗣 is reliable, but slower: packets are checked, ordered, and resent if lost.

𝗨𝗗𝗣 is faster and lighter: no extra waiting, no handshake — perfect for real-time apps where latency matters.

The problem: routing UDP through a proxy usually required a VPN, which can add encryption overhead and increase latency.

𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗞𝗦𝟓 + 𝗨𝗗𝗣 = allows fast UDP packet forwarding through a proxy without turning the whole connection into a VPN tunnel.
What it unlocks:

▫️ Gaming through a proxy with lower latency
▫️ VoIP calls routed through another country
▫️ Streaming with residential IPs instead of VPN servers
▫️ DNS resolving through proxy

UDP support is now available in Floppydata beta.

We recommend testing it first with US proxies 🇺🇸

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗮𝘁 𝗙𝗹𝗼𝗽𝗽𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 ⚡

Over the past weeks, we’ve shipped several updates to make proxy management easier, faster, and more flexible — from automated balance refills to API access, IP resets, and UDP support.

1️⃣ 𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝗽-𝘂𝗽

▫️ Your balance can now refill itself automatically.
▫️ Set a minimum GB threshold, choose the top-up amount, link your card, and get notified after every refill.
▫️ No more manual checks or sudden traffic interruptions.

2️⃣ 𝗔𝗣𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗱𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱

▫️ You can now work with Floppydata API without leaving the dashboard.
▫️We added code snippets in 5 languages, pre-filled API keys, a full list of GET endpoints, and the ability to hit “Run” and see the live response instantly.

3️⃣ 𝗜𝗣 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗱

▫️ Need a new IP? Now you can reset it whenever you need.
▫️Use the Reset button next to your proxy credentials, or change IP by session_id — paste the session_id, copy the generated link, and send the request.

4️⃣ 𝗨𝗗𝗣 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝗮

▫️UDP support is now available for real-time traffic: gaming, streaming, VoIP, DNS, and other low-latency use cases.
▫️To enable it, go to Get proxy credentials, choose Residential or Mobile, select SOCKS5, and turn on the UDP toggle.
▫️The system will automatically add the udp-1 parameter to your proxy string.
▫️UDP is available for SOCKS5 on Residential and Mobile proxies.

This feature is currently in beta, so we’d really love you to test it in your own setups and share your feedback with us 🫂

More updates are coming.

𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲. 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝘆𝗽𝗲𝘀.

You know that moment when you buy proxies and realize you picked the wrong type? Yeah, we fixed that.

The problem we solved:
One of the biggest headaches? Choosing the wrong traffic type at purchase. You'd buy Residential thinking it's what you need, only to discover Mobile would've been better. Or vice versa.
The new way (actually simple):

◻️ One purchase — all traffic types available
◻️ Pick any type later — Residential, Mobile, or Datacenter when generating credentials
◻️ Switch on the fly — change types instantly based on what actually works
◻️ One balance — no juggling, no confusion
◻️ Test everything — find the right fit without financial risk

Translation: Buy once, figure out what you actually need, stop throwing money away on guesses.

𝗩𝗣𝗡𝘀 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲?

Governments are blocking websites and social media faster than ever. VPN services are easily detected and banned. So what should you use instead?

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗩𝗣𝗡𝘀 𝗙𝗮𝗶𝗹:

▫️VPN server IPs are publicly known
▫️Shared by thousands of users simultaneously
▫️Trigger endless CAPTCHAs
▫️Risk account bans

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗔𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟔:

▫️Proxies — dedicated IPs with high trust scores
▫️Antidetect browsers — mask your device fingerprint

🔷70M+ real IPs from 195+ countries
🔷Starting at $1/GB — cheaper than any VPN

𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸: Russia blocked 197 VPN services by October 2024. With proxies, you just switch countries and keep working.

Same Netflix costs $0.90 in Pakistan but $26.99 in Switzerland. Same content. 30x price difference.

We analyzed 15 popular services:

Price Gaps:
▫️YouTube Premium: $1.25 vs $23.48 (95%)
▫️Netflix: $0.90 vs $26.99 (96%)
▫️Spotify: $1.18 vs $20.46 (94%)
▫️Adobe Creative Cloud: $30.32 vs $101.54 (70%)
▫️PlayStation Plus: $0.46 vs $19.00 (97%)

Why?

Companies use "purchasing power parity" (PPP). A $15 subscription is affordable in the US but serious money in Nigeria.

But is it fair to pay more just because of where you live?

Potential Savings:

Switching all 15 services to cheapest regions:
• Regular cost: $4,044/year
• With regional pricing: $946/year
• Savings: $3,098/year

Full breakdown:
• All price comparisons
• Who this matters for
• Ethics of global pricing
