Is the data you collect through this considered alternative data?

We do not supply data. We supply the bandwidth and the exit IPs your own collection runs through — what you collect, how you licence it and how you use it is yours to determine, under our acceptable use policy and the terms of the sources you fetch.

How consistent are exits in a given market?

You choose the country, and on the rotating pools a city as well, on every request through the username. A sticky session handle holds one exit for the length you set, so a multi-page fetch stays on a single IP. Which exact address you get is drawn from the pool and is not guaranteed between runs.

Can I run a backfill and a daily job from one account?

Yes, and it is the cheaper way to do it. Buying the backfill and the first months of the daily run as one purchase puts the whole volume on one rung of the ladder, and the unused remainder does not expire when the backfill finishes.

Do you provide an invoice for a fund's finance team?

Every purchase is a one-time payment with an invoice from Ravaiq Ltd., an EU company. A business can enter its name and VAT ID at checkout and both appear on the invoice; VAT is calculated there according to your location and status.

What happens if a source blocks an exit mid-run?

Retry on a new connection — without a session handle each new connection can draw a different exit. Treat a changed or refused IP as an expected event in the pipeline rather than an error condition; at panel scale a small retry budget is normal.

Proxies for alternative data in finance

A signal is only tradeable if the series is consistent. Collect the same public pages from the same markets on the same schedule, and pay per gigabyte so a backfill and a daily run come out of the same balance.

The problem

What goes wrong without the right IPs

A gap in the series is worse than a delay

A day missing because one IP was limited breaks the comparison you built the factor on. Spreading a run across a pool makes a blocked exit a retry rather than a hole.

The page you store is not the page the market saw

Listings, prices and availability are geo-ranked. Collect a US retailer from Frankfurt and the series tracks the export storefront, not the one that moves the numbers.

Backfills are spiky by nature

Re-running two years of history in a week is a burst that a monthly allowance handles badly. A balance that does not expire absorbs the burst and waits for the daily cadence afterwards.

Vendor risk is a real line in the diligence pack

A one-time purchase from an EU company with a VAT invoice is easier to place in a vendor review than a rolling subscription with an auto-renew clause.

Timestamps need to mean something

If the collection window drifts because retries queue behind one address, the series carries a timing artefact you will later mistake for signal.

Setup

Recommended setup

Treat the daily cadence and the backfill as the same workload on different rungs of the same ladder.

Plan	Role	Session	Targeting	Price
ARC Fast Rotating residential	Default for the daily series Residential exits in the market you are modelling, held long enough that a multi-page fetch of one listing stays on one IP and reads as one visit.	Sticky per source, 10 minutes	Country + city	€2.00 / GB €1.12 at 1 TB (−44%)
ARC Basic Rotating ISP	For high-volume, low-protection sources Our lowest price per GB. Public registries, filings and plain listing pages rarely need a consumer IP, and at backfill volume the difference compounds.	Rotating	Country	€0.75 / GB €0.59 at 1 TB (−21%)
ARC Ultra Premium residential	For the sources the factor depends on Premium residential where a missed day is expensive. Route the handful of sources that carry the signal, not the whole crawl.	Sticky per source	Country + city	€3.50 / GB €2.17 at 1 TB (−38%)

Assumptions

Entities tracked: 5,000
Markets: 4 (US, GB, DE, FR)
Cadence: once a day
Page weight: 200 KB, images blocked
Bandwidth per month: ≈ 120 GB

On ARC Fast

€163.20per month, excl. VAT

120 GB bought in one purchase at €1.36 / GB (−32% volume rung, applied automatically).

The same 120 GB on ARC Basic: €81.60 at €0.68 / GB. Move down as soon as the cheaper pool holds up.

A twelve-month backfill of the same panel is roughly twelve times this bandwidth — bought in one checkout it lands far down the ladder, and what the backfill does not use funds the daily run.

Bandwidth never expires, so a bigger single purchase is only ever cheaper per GB. See the ladder.
