Un endpoint es la dirección URL o IP específica en la que un servicio o una aplicación aceptan solicitudes. En las redes proxy, un punto final suele hacer referencia a la ubicación del servidor o al puerto a través del cual se enruta el tráfico. La selección del punto final correcto puede mejorar la velocidad de la conexión, acceder a ubicaciones geográficas específicas u optimizar el rendimiento de las tareas.

Use Cases
Web Scraping & Data Collection
Endpoints let scrapers or crawlers appear as real users from different locations. By rotating multiple proxy endpoints, you avoid blocks and gather data from public sites at scale.
API Access Management
In APIs, endpoints define specific data access points (e.g., /api/users). When used with proxies, they ensure your requests remain anonymous or localized, especially when accessing region-restricted APIs.
Load Balancing & Performance Testing
Using multiple proxy endpoints distributes network load across different IPs or regions, allowing accurate speed tests and response-time benchmarking.
Best Practices
Choose the Right Endpoint Type
Use residential endpoints for scraping real-user environments, ISP or static endpoints for stability, and mobile endpoints for mobile-sensitive data or ad verification.
Rotate Endpoints Ethically
Always follow responsible rotation intervals to avoid overloading servers or violating site policies. Ethical proxy providers like Massive, ensure that each endpoint is sourced with full user consent.
Secure Your Connections
Use HTTPS endpoints whenever possible to encrypt requests and protect sensitive payloads from interception.
Monitor Endpoint Performance
Regularly test latency, success rates, and response times. Some proxy providers offer analytics dashboards or APIs to monitor each endpoint’s performance.
Conclusion
In short, an endpoint is where your connection starts or ends—but in proxy networks, it’s the IP address that makes you appear as someone else online. Choosing reliable, ethically sourced endpoints ensures better data accuracy, privacy, and uptime.

Frequently Asked Question
What does an endpoint mean in proxies?
+
It’s the IP address you connect to through your proxy provider, which routes your requests to the target site while hiding your real IP.
What’s the difference between an endpoint and a proxy server?
+
A proxy server manages multiple endpoints. Each endpoint is a single connection point (IP + port) you use to access the network.
Can endpoints rotate automatically?
+
Yes—rotating proxies use dynamic endpoints that change after each request or session to avoid bans and CAPTCHAs.
What is an API endpoint?
+
It’s a specific URL path in an API that performs a function, like retrieving data or submitting information. When combined with proxies, API endpoints can be accessed securely or from different regions.
How do I choose a reliable endpoint provider?
+
Look for transparency in IP sourcing, high success rates, and regional diversity. Massive, for example, offers over 1.6 million residential IPs and more than 20,000 ISP IPs, all ethically sourced with 99.87% success rate.
