             - **basic**: Proxies for scraping sites with none to basic anti-bot solutions. Fast and usually works.
             - **enhanced**: Enhanced proxies for scraping sites with advanced anti-bot solutions. Slower, but more reliable on certain sites. Costs up to 5 credits per request.
             - **auto**: Firecrawl will automatically retry scraping with enhanced proxies if the basic proxy fails. If the retry with enhanced is successful, 5 credits will be billed for the scrape. If the first attempt with basic is successful, only the regular cost will be billed.

            If you do not specify a proxy, Firecrawl will default to basic.

            Setting this to false is useful if your scraping activity may have
            data protection concerns. Using some parameters associated with
            sensitive scraping (actions, headers) will force this parameter to
