38 of 49 AI data licensing deals disclose no price and no formula.
And 13 of 47 news sites state their AI licensing terms only in robots.txt comments, the one place crawlers never read.

9 documented error codes, and a clear rule for each. Bringits' web unblocker API, read closely:
One POST: method, url, optional countries, and browser: true for JS pages. A target's 404 comes back as a successful call, with the real status inside the JSON.
Which codes to retry:
TARGET_BLOCKED: wait 60s
SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE: wait 5s
TARGET_TIMEOUT: back off
INVALID_REQUEST, ACCESS_DENIED: fix, don't retry
"Site said no" never gets mixed up with "request failed." We wrote a small client around it and tested nine cases.

In the US it's a request. In the EU it can be the opt-out that blocks AI training.
We checked 47 news sites. 15 put licensing terms or AI reservations in robots.txt comments.
Crawlers skip comments. Only 3 sites used a signal machines can act on.

Pricing is per search, not per result: $3 per 1,000 on base, $5 on pro, and new accounts get $20 free. Setup in Claude Code is one claude mcp add command.
In Seltz's run of Exa's benchmark: 327ms median, 0.53 precision at 10. Exa led on top-1 accuracy.

Are residential proxies legal? Yes. The ones in the headlines took devices without asking.
What gets networks shut down is taking devices without consent.
Sourcing, use, and local law decide
