Residential, ISP, and datacenter proxies plus scraping APIs for developers running large-scale public data collection. Data engineers and backend developers who run scraping pipelines at scale are the clearest fit. The alternatives below are the picks for: Developers seeking AI-native code editing with deep context and multi-file refactoring; Individual developers and GitHub-centric teams wanting inline completions plus agentic PR workflows; Developers and AI agent builders pulling structured social data from multiple platforms via one API key.
