Show HN: XHR anti bot bypass (xhr.dev) (xhr.dev)

19 points by skilbjo ↗ HN
I've launched the new product, xhr.dev (https://xhr.dev/)

The initial product is a 1 line code integration that does bot detection avoidance via a forward proxy.

Ideal customer is someone who gets blocked by anti-bot defences like cloudflare or other captcha challenges. Usually these customers have web scraping use cases.

You can view our historical performance on our status page (https://status.xhr.dev).

Hey John, I really appreciate this type of work, but $500/mo or $60k a year is a lot in my opinion. You guys are probably targeting a much larger user than I would be, and for enterprise users (ie tens or hundreads of thousands of requests) this pricing might make sense, but for a smaller user (ie hundreads to a few thousand requests) the pricing is a bit much. I really like someone like Bright Data's pricing scheme, and maybe something like that could be worth considering.

I could see another tier that comes with 1,0000-10,000 included requests included at 1/10 of the cost being a good idea. Might be really hard for a small startup to support those customers out the gate though!
