POST requests

Web Unblocker not only supports sending GET requests but also lets you POST to a web endpoint of your choice. You can send data to a target website, making it return a different result.

Code examples

cURL

curl -k -v -x https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000 \
-U 'USERNAME:PASSWORD' \
'https://ip.oxylabs.io/location' \
-d 'Your POST JSON: data'

Python

# Web Unblocker doesn't only support sending GET requests, but also lets you POST to a web endpoint of your choice. This means that you can send data to a target website, which can then make the website return a different result.
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',
}

data = {
    'Your POST JSON': 'data'
}

response = requests.post(
    'https://ip.oxylabs.io/location',
    verify=False,  # It is required to ignore certificate
    proxies=proxies,
    json=data,
)

# 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(
  `https://${username}:${password}@unblock.oxylabs.io:60000`
);

// We recommend accepting our certificate instead of allowing insecure (http) traffic
process.env['NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED'] = 0;

const headers = {
  'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}

const body = {
  'Your POST JSON': 'data'
};

const response = await fetch('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location', {
  method: 'post',
  body: JSON.stringify(body),
  headers: headers,
  agent: agent,
});

console.log(await response.text());

PHP

<?php
$ch = curl_init();

// Setup request to send json via POST
$data = [
    'Your POST JSON' => 'data'
];
$payload = json_encode($data);

// Attach encoded JSON string to the POST fields
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $payload);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, 'https://ip.oxylabs.io/location');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);

$result = curl_exec($ch);
echo $result;

    echo 'Error:' . curl_error($ch);
