Learn how to generate and use residential proxies on our platform
_s_{random_alphanumeric}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the same alphanumeric session ID will try to link you to the same IP address as the first request with that session ID.
Format
_smartpath
to your proxy username field after your proxy_user_id.
Format
_c_{country_iso_code}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the ISO code will return a proxy with an IP address from the selected country.
Format
_state_{state_name}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the state will return a proxy with an IP address from the selected state.
You can find out a full list of available state and their names via the dashboard or via the API where you can find all US states through the /subdivision/search
endpoint while filtering by country_id=us
.
Format
_city_{city_alias}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the city alias will return a proxy with an IP address from the selected city.
You can find out a full list of available cities and their alias via the dashboard.
Format
_zip_{zip_code_id}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the ZIP code ID will return a proxy with an IP address from the selected ZIP code.
You can find out a full list of available ZIP codes and their ID’s via the dashboard or via the API where we have a /zip_code/search
endpoint.
Since ZIP codes represent a very specific, limited population area, it is unlikely we will have a large number of proxies online from every ZIP code at a single time. You can overcome this issue by ensuring the ZIP code you are targeting has currently online proxies using our /residential_availability/search
endpoint and filtering by zip_code_id
. Alternatively, you can see an interactive, live view of all ZIP codes and their current node count on the residential dashboard.
Format
_asn_{asn_number}
to the username field of the proxy. Any requests with using a proxy with the ASN number will return a proxy with an IP address from that network.
You can find out a full list of available carriers and ASNs via the dashboard.
