Geo-location
If you want to specify from which location to access a particular website, add the x-oxylabs-geo-location
header.
All targets
Using a country name
To get results localized for the geographical center point of a country, pass a country name. E.g., if you want to access a website content as if you are visiting it from Germany, add the "x-oxylabs-geo-location": "Germany"
to your header.
Check the complete list of supported x-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter values here.
curl -k -v -x unblock.oxylabs.io:60000 \
-U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://ip.oxylabs.io/location" \
-H "x-oxylabs-geo-location:Germany"
Amazon
Using the x-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter value for Amazon pages will yield a result with a corresponding delivery preference setting.
There are a few ways you can use this parameter to get correctly-localized Amazon results. For most Amazon domains, you can either send a zip/postcode or a 2-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code.
Using a zip/postcode
To localize the result to a place within the native country of the target marketplace, use a zip/postcode as an x-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter value. For example, if you are scraping the Amazon .com
domain, add an "x-oxylabs-geo-location": "90210"
header, whereas if you are gathering data from Amazon .co.uk
domain, your header will look like this: "x-oxylabs-geo-location": "W105LT"
.
curl -k -v -x unblock.oxylabs.io:60000 \
-U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://www.amazon.com/s?k=running+shoes" \
-H "x-oxylabs-geo-location:90210"

Exceptions
Not all Amazon marketplaces are created equal - there are a couple of exceptions to the rules mentioned above:
The
.cn
and.com.tr
domains don't support setting a custom delivery location - please don't send thex-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter with requests to these domains;The
.com.au
domain doesn't support setting a delivery location outside Australia - please send an Australian postcode with requests to this domain;Instead of postcodes, the
.ae
domain supports UAE city names asx-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter values, e.g.,"x-oxylabs-geo-location":"Abu Dhabi"
. Of course, you can use 2-letter country codes with this domain, too.
Google
As a geo-location value, you can use a few options: country, state, city or coordinates, and radius.
Using a country name
To get results localized for the geographical center point of a country, pass a country name. E.g., if you want to access a website content as if you are visiting it from Germany, add the "x-oxylabs-geo-location": "Germany"
to your header.
Check the complete list of supported x-oxylabs-geo-location
parameter values here.
