24 alternatives to JProx

I built JProx to solve a specific problem: scraping Japanese sites (Mercari, Rakuten, SUUMO) that aggressively block foreign IPs and datacenter proxies. Features: - Japanese residential IPs (Tokyo) - Simple REST API with Claude MCP support - 1,000 free requests/month - $7/mo for 5,000 requests Built with: FastAPI, Next.js, PostgreSQL I'm a solo developer in Japan. Would love feedback on the pricing and API design.

    Alright so if you run a self-hosted blog, you've probably noticed AI companies scraping it for training data. And not just a little (RIP to your server bill). There isn't much you can do about it without cloudflare. These companies ignore robots.txt, and you're competing with teams with more resources than you. It's you vs the MJs of programming, you're not going to win. But there is a solution. Now I'm not going to say it's a great solution...but a solution is a solution. If your website contains content that will trigger their scraper's safeguards, it will get dropped from their data…

    Hey HN! We’re Alan and Richard from Integuru (YC W24). We generate fast, reliable integrations for platforms lacking official APIs. About 2 years ago, we released the first agent that reverse-engineers network traffic to build integrations (https://github.com/Integuru-AI/Integuru). Since then, we’ve developed a new approach to reverse-engineer platforms’ source code directly. This solution also includes authentication support. Here’s a demo: https://youtu.be/4l2L8fILC2g?si=nbWbDiFrWZIWRPM7. Many AI products need to integrate with web apps, but platforms…

    Hi! I'm Marcell, and I'm working on FetchFox (https://fetchfoxai.com). It's a Chrome extension that lets you use AI to scrape any website for any data. I'd love to get your feedback. Here's a quick demo showing how you can use it to scrape leads from an auto dealer directory. What's cool is that it scrapes non-uniform pages, which is quite hard to do with "traditional" scrapers: https://youtu.be/wPbyPSFsqzA A little background: I've written lots and lots of scrapers over the last 10+ years. They're fun to write when they work, but the internet has changed in ways…

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

    Hi HN — solo developer here. I built this tool ~4 years ago purely to solve my own frustration with CORS and repeated proxy setup. The idea was intentionally boring: just prefix a URL and get control over the request and response. Somehow it grew to serving billions of requests per day, including usage by companies and universities. I’m sharing it here mainly to: - get technical feedback - learn what people would actually use a proxy like this for - understand what I should simplify or remove

    Built this to give AI assistants native Reddit access. No more copy-pasting links. You can ask things like "what's the sentiment on TypeScript vs JavaScript in r/webdev" or "analyze the top posts about GPT-5 today" and get instant analysis. Technical: TypeScript, 3-tier rate limiting (anonymous works fine for most), LRU cache under 50MB. Works with any MCP client, not just Claude. Someone used it to track reactions to H-1B changes across different country subreddits in real-time - that was pretty cool to see. Open to feature requests and contributions welcome! Would love to hear how you…

    The curl API for WorldIP is now live and completely free to use. You can hit it right from your terminal: curl worldip.io — returns information about your requesting IP. curl worldip.io/8.8.8.8 — returns details on any specific IP. The main differentiator here is that we aren't just wrapping another provider's API and reselling their data. We built and run our own global infrastructure capable of scanning the entire IPv4 space in about a day. Happy to answer any questions about the scanning infrastructure or the stack!

    If you had to build a context window manager in 24h, would you stick to the existing model or come up with something better? Here's what I did: 1. Built a proxy that intercepts Codex's calls to OpenAI and rewrites them on the fly. 2. Replayed 3,807 rounds of SWE-bench Verified traces through it: avg prompt 44k → 6k tokens (-87%). 3. Posted it to HN to get the next reduction applied to my confidence interval — starting with the inevitable "How about accuracy?" npx -y pando-proxy · github.com/human-software-us/pando-proxy
