Making Requests

Residential proxies are IP addresses assigned by Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to homeowners. They appear as real users, making them ideal for tasks requiring high anonymity.

Making Requests

• Basic query

  Basic query only requires passing username and password. No other parameters are needed. Such a query will result in the request being made from a random IP address (proxy). Every new request will use a different proxy.

  Code examples

  In this example, a query is performed from a random IP:

  curl -x socks5://USERNAME-zone-custom:PASSWORD@global.pxyedge.com:3000 ipinfo.io

  A single backconnect proxy (global.pxyedge.com:3000) enables you to choose a specific country or region proxy via additional parameters in the username. This approach also supports session control. Here is a sample of credentials:

  USERNAME-zone-custom-region-us-st-CA-session-abcd1234-sessTime-10-rc-0:PASSWORD

  Query parameters

  Parameter	Description
  username	Proxy account username
  zone	Name for IP pool
  region	Country/region, random region without this parameter
  st	The state you want to specify.
  city	The city you want to specify. It can be used without “state” parameter.
  session	Required for Sticky IP and switching IPs.Use it when fixing an IP or finding specific IP when switching
  sessTime	Use with session to set IP duration.
  rc	By default, the client will automatically switch after going offline. If no switching is needed，append: ‘-rc-0’
  password	Proxy account password
