Short answer

How can I automate proxy replacement with AI?

Your agent uses Webshare tools to check which proxies are failing and requests fresh ones to replace them. This keeps your scraping sessions active by swapping dead IPs for working ones. You get a self-healing proxy pool that reacts to blocks in real time.

Where every issue lands.

The outcomes of automated rotation.

The AI handles the technical heavy lifting so your scraping doesn't stop.

AUTO

Continuous uptime

The AI detects a failed proxy and immediately pulls a new one. Your scraping tasks stay alive even when sites start blocking IPs.

SYNC

Quota management

Your agent checks how many replacements you have left. It won't burn through your limit without knowing your current standing.

LOG

Health monitoring

The AI keeps track of which proxies are being swapped. You get a clear view of how often your pool is rotating.

MANUAL

Human oversight

The AI handles the swaps, but you decide when to stop or adjust the rotation logic. You retain full control over the proxy budget.

The workflow

What your AI does when a proxy fails.

The agent moves from detection to replacement without you typing a single command.

  1. Identify failures

    The agent scans your current proxy list to find addresses that are no longer responding or are being blocked.

    list_proxies

  2. Check availability

    Before requesting a new IP, the agent checks your remaining replacement allowance to ensure the request is valid.

    get_replacement_quota

  3. Swap the proxy

    Once a failure is confirmed and quota is available, the agent triggers a request for a new proxy to take the place of the dead one.

    request_proxy_replacement

  4. Update the pool

    The agent refreshes the list of active proxies so your scraping script uses the new, working addresses immediately.

    list_proxies

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI delete my entire proxy list?

    No. The AI only has tools to list, check quota, and request replacements. It cannot delete your existing proxy configurations.

  • 02

    Will the AI spend all my replacement quota at once?

    The AI can check your quota before acting, but it follows the logic you give it. If you tell it to replace every failed proxy, it will use the quota as needed.

  • 03

    Does the AI handle the actual scraping?

    No. The AI manages the proxy pool via Webshare. Your scraping script or tool is what actually performs the web requests.

  • 04

    Can I see which proxies were replaced?

    Yes, the AI can use the tools to list the current proxies, allowing you to see the updated state of your pool.

  • 05

    Can the AI change my Webshare account settings?

    No. The tools are limited to proxy management and quota checks. It cannot modify your billing or account security settings.
