What changes by store area on Walmart
Walmart is a store-based retailer first: the price you see, whether an item is in stock, and whether pickup or same-day delivery is offered depend on the nearby store and delivery area. Two visitors in different cities can see different offers for one item. A single monitoring IP captures only one area, so regional promotions and stock gaps go unnoticed.
City-level targeting inside the US
US targeting is the main lever for this page. With the -state- and -city- tokens in the username you can send each batch from a different metro, then set the matching store or ZIP in your request so the site's location and the exit agree. US city-targeted proxies explain the options, and the US location page lists coverage. ISP and ASN targeting helps when you want a mix of home carriers rather than one.
- One metro per batch for clean regional comparisons.
- Store or ZIP in the request matches the exit city.
- Same product list in every region so the results line up.
Session mode and proxy type
Rotating residential sessions suit catalog sweeps: one product page per request. Sticky sessions help while a flow changes store or paginates through a category. Datacenter exits are cheaper, but test them against a residential sample first, since retail sites may answer them differently. Pair the run with a request pace that a normal shopper would not exceed.
Staying within Walmart's rules
Collect public pages only, in line with Walmart's Terms of Use and applicable law. Do not access logged-in or private data, do not work around bans, and do not interfere with the site. MAP compliance checks for your own brand and shelf-price research are standard uses; see price monitoring. The acceptable use policy applies to all accounts.
How to set up the proxies
Buy a package from 5 GB ($4.50, bandwidth never expires), open the proxy generator and copy the host, port, username and password into your tool. The gateway is gw.nefo.net:9000, and targeting lives in the username: -country-us-state-texas or -city-houston for a metro, -session-store7 to hold one IP. Integration examples are in the docs, and prices are on the pricing page.
