A packed week of shipping. Here's what went live between March 24 and March 30.
Smart Proxy Routing
The proxy task type now automatically selects the best proxy route for each request. Instead of cycling through proxies randomly, FourA analyzes the target site's protection level and picks the optimal proxy type: data center for speed, residential for stealth, mobile for the toughest targets.
Failed requests are automatically retried through different routes. In our testing, this improved success rates on heavily protected sites by 30-40%.

Dashboard Analytics
The dashboard now includes a full analytics section: request volume over time, success rates by target domain, response time percentiles (p50/p95/p99), and bandwidth consumption. Everything you need to optimize your data collection pipeline.

Documentation Improvements
We expanded the getting-started section with new guides for Python, Node.js, Go, and Ruby. And the API reference now includes full request/response examples for every endpoint.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed a timeout calculation issue in browser tasks where the
waitFortimer started before navigation completed - Improved error messages for invalid URL formats (the old ones were too vague to debug)
- Fixed pagination in the task list API when using the
statusfilter
Coming Next Week
- EU API endpoint for lower-latency access from Europe
- Status page for real-time service health monitoring
- Documentation site launch with full search
But the big one is smart proxy routing. If you're hitting protected sites, try switching your tasks to the proxy type and let the routing engine do the work.
