Short answer

How can I use AI to check my scraper performance?

Your AI pulls real-time performance data to spot trends in failed requests or high latency. It identifies exactly which sub-users or proxies are hitting blocks so you can adjust your strategy. You'll get a clear breakdown of where your scraping logic is breaking.

Troubleshooting outcomes.

Where every issue lands.

The AI categorizes scraper issues into specific buckets for faster fixing.

ERROR

Identify blockages

The AI flags high error rates from get_scraper_stats. You'll see if you're being hit by CAPTCHAs or IP bans.

LATENCY

Spot slow requests

It analyzes response times to find timeouts. You'll know if specific targets are dragging down your speed.

USER

Audit sub-users

The AI uses list_sub_users to see if specific accounts are over-using resources or failing more than others.

HUMAN

Manual intervention

The AI highlights critical failures that require you to manually update your scraping logic or rotate proxies.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of parsing logs and identifying patterns.

  1. Pulling stats

    The AI fetches current success and failure metrics from your proxy account.

    get_scraper_stats

  2. Checking users

    It looks at individual sub-user activity to isolate problematic accounts.

    list_sub_users

  3. Pattern matching

    The AI compares error codes against your historical success rates to find anomalies.

    get_scraper_stats

  4. Reporting

    It summarizes the findings into a plain English report of what's broken.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix my scraper code automatically?

    No. The AI identifies the issues and tells you what's wrong, but you have to write and deploy the code fixes yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI change my proxy settings?

    No. The AI can only read the data provided by the tools. It cannot modify your Decodo account settings or proxy configurations.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my actual scraped data?

    No. The AI only sees the metadata and statistics provided by the scraper tools, like success rates and error codes.

  • 04

    How often does the AI update the stats?

    The AI pulls fresh data every time you ask it a question using the available tools.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, as long as your client supports the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
