Follow the browser, Python, city, session or payment guide for your workflow, with prepaid USDT funding and no KYC. ## Choose the guide for your next task - **[Make your first connection](/guides/quickstart/)** — Fund the account, choose traffic and connect to a small endpoint you control. Keep the first observation easy to interpret. - **[Set up a browser](/guides/browser/)** — Review a local page manually while keeping language, cookies, destination and delivery choices visible. - **[Use Python](/guides/python/)** — Generate country credentials, keep secrets out of output and make one bounded HTTPS control request. - **[Choose rotation or sticky](/guides/rotation-vs-sticky/)** — Match the session setting to an independent observation or a short sequence in your own application. - **[Compare African retail prices](/guides/how-to-check-prices-on-jumia-takealot-konga/)** — Keep product variant, seller, pack quantity, currency and destination beside the visible price. - **[Record local search context](/guides/local-serp-checks/)** — Keep query language, IP location and account context together when interpreting a regional search observation. - **[Check a crypto invoice](/crypto-payments/)** — Match the current coin, network and exact amount; keep the payment reference separate from the account login. - **[Understand public remittance quotes](/guides/remittance-cost-research/)** — Separate quoted fees, exchange rates and destination amounts while keeping the same corridor and transfer size. ## A useful first project has a clear question Start with a question your colleague can act on. Is the same item offered at a different delivered price? Does a campaign landing page show the intended currency? Does a language switch preserve a basket in your own application? Choose one country or city and one controlled observation before expanding the study. The guides separate connection setup from interpreting the result. A working HTTP request does not explain a changed seller, destination or product variant. Record those inputs in the project evidence so a second person can repeat the observation without guessing which market setting you used. ## Use country detail and city detail together The [country directory](/locations/) names 49 covered locations and links 24 detailed country guides. Those pages add local operator references, currencies, languages, retail platforms and dated sources. The [city directory](/cities/) adds 9 city workflows for Nigeria, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire. Open the country guide before setting up a new market. Use its city or nearby-market links to continue the comparison. Keep a separate file or account sub-user for each client project so credentials and traffic limits remain organised as the scope grows. ## Keep the budget and the evidence readable A crypto top-up funds the account; buying a plan then converts part of that balance into traffic. The minimum top-up is $25 and the 1 GB pack costs $1.23. The [pricing grid](/pricing/) shows every allowance and the [USDT guide](/pay-with-crypto/) explains the funding flow. For the evidence, record only what answers the business question: the page, time, location setting, language, seller or branch and the relevant displayed values. Keep credentials, account numbers and wallet secrets out of shared screenshots. This makes a small project easier to review and a larger project easier to audit. ## Before following a guide ### Which setup guide should I open first? Use the quickstart for a first connection, then the browser guide for manual page checks or the Python guide for a bounded script. The examples use the same gateway credentials and published service rules. Choose a small endpoint you control, retain the connection result and add the marketplace or application workflow afterwards. ### Where do the guides get their local examples? Country and city pages link primary operators, retailers, public authorities and platform documentation, with review dates. An example describes the observed market context, not a guarantee that an item, delivery service or city exit stays available. Follow the source link when the detail matters to a fresh project. ### Do I need a different plan for every city? A residential traffic plan supplies a GB allowance, while the generated credentials select the country and city. City availability varies. Keep each observation labelled with the requested market and the observed exit, and use separate project credentials when your team needs distinct traffic caps or client records. --- AfricaProxies: AfricaProxies is a residential proxy provider for sub-Saharan Africa, paid in crypto with no ID upload.
