Latest updates and improvements to FourA
Any member of an organization can now send a Playground request with its keys. The list is grouped the way the Metrics filter groups it: your own keys under My Keys, then a group for each organization you belong to.
FourA vs others now prices what each service charges for the sites that turn a plain address away, per 1,000 requests, and shows how many requests each plan runs at once. Bright Data, Oxylabs and Firecrawl join the tables, every figure read from the service's own pricing page and dated.
A request the standard pool answers before any premium exit is tried still costs no premium traffic. Once a premium exit has been tried, the bytes it carried count toward your premium allowance even if that attempt didn't bring back the page. Your plan's traffic ceiling counts standard bytes only.
The Chrome extension's DevTools tab now lists a page's requests the way Network does, with its filters, columns and sorting, and ads and analytics out of the way. Search responses for text you can see on the page, then open any request in the Playground with your own API key.
Proxy Finder is 2 credits a request now, 4 with the Unblocker, and Browser 5, 10 when a bot defense was solved. Single stays at 1 and 2. Plans and prices
Pick a result in docs search and the page now scrolls to the first place your word appears in the article and highlights it. The top result is selected as soon as results show up, so Enter opens it straight away.
When a site answers 200 with a bot check instead of the page, that request no longer counts as a success and isn't billed. The response carries X-FourA-Check-Page naming the check, so you can tell it apart from a page your own validate rule turned down.
Amazon's "Continue shopping" robot check, Reddit's humanity check and Google's JavaScript notice are now known check pages. Auto keeps looking instead of handing one back as the page you asked for, and Single, Browser and Proxy Finder name the check that stopped them.
When Reddit answers with its "Prove your humanity" page or its network-security block, a Proxy Finder request that doesn't get through now names Reddit's check in its attemptReport. That stays separate from pages your own validate rule rejected, so you know which one to change.
Auto now reads phrases like "just a moment" or "access denied" as a challenge only in a page's title or on a page the size of a real interstitial. A full page that happens to use those words now comes back as content.
Dashboard pages now appear with their fonts and filters already in place, so the page doesn't shift after it shows up. The fonts come from FourA itself, and the Dashboard makes no request to Google Fonts.
The Usage panel on Metrics now tells you how many domains or client IPs your period holds, with totals across all of them in cards above the table. The rows page through the whole set, and changing the view or period starts again from the top.
The proxy port is out of beta: tunnels and traffic count against your plan, like the API. Usage & Limits shows tunnels at once, openings a minute and each proxy user's traffic. The paid network is now called premium, and connection strings that say residential still work.
The main site's header now fits every screen in all 13 languages, from a folded phone to a tablet on its side, and shows the full link row once there's room. On short screens the menu scrolls, so you can reach every language.
Single's solver for SiteGround's Robot Challenge now runs about five times faster, so pages behind it come back sooner when you send unblocker: true. A solved page costs the same as before.
