Executive Summary
HasData is a web scraping platform that gives developers structured data through a single API call. With more than 50 web scraping APIs covering Google, e-commerce, real estate, and travel targets, HasData removes the operational burden of proxies and HTML parsing so its customers can focus on the data itself. At a scale of roughly 500 million successful API requests per month, proxy quality is the foundation of the product. The company continuously benchmarks more than ten proxy providers against its own dashboards, promoting only the fastest and most reliable ones to its “first line” of traffic.
Infatica has held a permanent spot on that first line for over a year. With a strong success rate, latency on par with the best providers HasData tested, direct-from-source pricing, and zero downtime across the partnership, Infatica now carries 20–25% of HasData's proxy traffic, including the traffic behind its flagship Google Search API.
About the Client
Web Scraping API Data Extraction SaaS Launched in early 2023, HasData is a SaaS company that turns hard-to-reach web data into clean JSON through a simple API. Its catalog spans more than 50 web scraping APIs, covering the entire Google ecosystem alongside Amazon, Zillow, Redfin, Booking, and Airbnb.
Under the hood, HasData operates thousands of headless browser instances to render dynamic, JavaScript-heavy pages, delivering a median response time of roughly 2.3 seconds. Its AI extraction layer can also convert any page into structured JSON from a plain-text prompt, and pre-collected datasets are available for teams that want to skip scraping entirely.
Trusted by over 1,300 customers and known for support that comes straight from the engineers who build its scrapers, HasData has established itself as a reliable data layer for data-intensive and AI-native businesses. Because that reputation rests entirely on the reliability of the infrastructure beneath it, proxy quality is not a back-office concern for HasData – it is a core part of the product.
The Challenge
Operating a high-volume scraping API means living and dying by proxy performance. Every retry adds latency, burns extra traffic, and slows the response a customer is waiting on. For HasData, three requirements are non-negotiable: proxies must be fast, deliver a high success rate, and stay cost-efficient.
To protect against single-provider risk, HasData built a tiered “line” architecture. The strongest providers sit on the first line and share the main traffic load roughly equally; failed attempts cascade to second- and third-line providers, with some APIs retrying up to nine times in rare edge cases. The challenge is constant: identify which providers genuinely deserve a first-line position.
“The hardest problem in the proxy industry, as it turns out, is separating resellers from the providers who actually own their pool. There's no reason to pay a reseller when we can go straight to the source, like with Infatica.”
Roman Milyushkevich, Co-Founder, HasData
Single-provider dependency is a real risk in this market. HasData has watched competitors suffer downtime – which is precisely why it keeps several vetted providers on the first line at all times.
The Solution
HasData discovered Infatica the way it evaluates every provider. The team ran its standard test: a small block of traffic measured against live dashboards for speed and success rate.
Infatica passed. It landed on the first line and has stayed there ever since, sharing primary traffic with a handful of other top-tier providers. HasData routes Infatica across its most important and demanding workloads – most notably its high-traffic Google Search API – where reliability matters most.
“We monitor every proxy provider with our own dashboards for speed and success rate. On speed, Infatica is right there with the best – the differences come down to tens of milliseconds, which is completely fine for us.”
Roman Milyushkevich, Co-Founder, HasData
Just as important, integration required no engineering overhead and ongoing maintenance is minimal. HasData only reaches out when it needs to top up or renew, and with auto-renewal now enabled, the service simply runs in the background. Exactly what a first-line dependency should do.
The Results
Over more than a year of production use, Infatica has delivered consistent, measurable value across HasData's infrastructure – earning and keeping its place on the first line.
99.9% uptime, zero downtime No proxy-related issues since onboarding
Across the entire partnership, HasData reports no technical issues and no downtime attributable to Infatica. That reliability is a core reason HasData trusts Infatica with first-line traffic on its most-used APIs.
First-line speed and success rate Latency on par with the fastest providers
In HasData's continuous benchmarking, Infatica delivers latency on par with the fastest providers tested and a success rate strong enough to keep it among the top tier handling primary traffic. With success rates this high, failed requests make up only a minimal share of total volume.
Direct-from-source, cost-efficient proxies Real bottom-line impact at scale
Proxy spend is HasData's single largest cost, so buying directly from a provider that owns its pool rather than from a reseller has real bottom-line impact. Infatica's combination of quality and competitive, direct pricing makes it a sustainable fit for first-line traffic at scale.
For a platform serving half a billion requests a month, the willingness to keep Infatica on the first line alongside only a few other providers is itself the strongest endorsement.
Roman Milyushkevich, HasData's co-founder, sums up more than a year of running Infatica on the first line – where consistency, not novelty, is what keeps a provider there.
We've been a client for around a year now, and we've never had a single technical problem from Infatica. No downtime, nothing. It's been genuinely solid.
That track record is why Infatica now carries 20–25% of HasData's proxy traffic, including the workloads behind its flagship Google Search API.
Future Outlook
As AI-driven products push demand for real-time search and structured web data ever higher, HasData expects its volumes to keep growing and proxy quality to remain at the center of its roadmap. The company continues to test new providers constantly, and Infatica's standing on the first line reflects a track record few have matched.
