Cookies

Web Unblocker maximizes website unblocking efficiency by using cookies predefined by our team.

Custom cookies

If you require the use of your own cookies, you can do so by adding the x-oxylabs-force-cookies:1 header in your requests. Web Unblocker will merge your custom cookies into the predefined cookies set and then use it to access the website.

Code examples

cURL

curl -k -v -x https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000 \
-U 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
'https://example.com' \
--cookie 'NID=1234567890' \
-H 'x-oxylabs-force-cookies: 1'

Python

import requests

# Use your Web Unblocker credentials here.
USERNAME, PASSWORD = 'YOUR_USERNAME', 'YOUR_PASSWORD'

# Define proxy dict.
proxies = {
  'http': f'http://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@unblock.oxylabs.io:60000',
  'https': f'https://{USERNAME}:{PASSWORD}@unblock.oxylabs.io:60000',
}

headers = {
    'Cookie': 'NID=1234567890',
    'x-oxylabs-force-cookies': '1' 
}

response = requests.get(
    'https://example.com',
    proxies=proxies,
    headers=headers,
    verify=False  # Ignore certificate verification
)

# Print result page to stdout
print(response.text)

# Save returned HTML to result.html file
with open('result.html', 'w') as f:
    f.write(response.text)

Node.js

import fetch from 'node-fetch';
import { HttpsProxyAgent } from 'https-proxy-agent';

const username = 'YOUR_USERNAME';
const password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';

const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(
