How to get started with AlterLab

A 5-minute walkthrough from sign-up to your first successful request. Total setup time: ~10 minutes.

1. 1

   Register for a self-serve account

   Create a AlterLab account at https://alterlab.io. Self-serve access is usually available immediately.

2. 2

   Select the right plan for your workload

   Use the dashboard to choose between residential / datacenter / mobile. Start with the smallest plan to validate your workload before scaling.

3. 3

   Configure user:pass or IP whitelist

   Set up either an IP-whitelist auth or username:password pair from the dashboard. Save the proxy hostname + port into your scraper or browser config.

4. 4

   Decide rotate-per-request vs sticky

   Decide between rotating-on-every-request (best for SERP scraping) or sticky sessions (best for account-based workflows).

5. 5

   Run a 500-request canary

   Run 100-500 test requests against your real target before paying for volume. Compare success rate to AlterLab's claimed rate before committing to an annual plan.
