Navigating the dashboard

Oxylabs Dashboard is where you activate products, monitor spending, and manage your account.

As soon as you sign up, you get $5 in welcome credit. Use it to test any available product before committing to a paid plan.

Before you start exploring, watch the onboarding video for a quick tour of the dashboard and the key steps you'll need to get started.

1. Explore products

Your home screen, or All Products page, shows an overview of your existing instances, and lets you browse all available products below.

Select a product to learn more about it, or create an instance to start using it.

2. Create a product instance

You'll need to create a product instance whenever you want to use a product.

A product instance is your specific setup for that product. It has its own name, authentication credentials, and a spending limit.

Click Add product instance and select the product you need.

Depending on the product, you'll need to:

• Select the product type.
• Name your instance.
• For IP-based products, choose the number of IPs and, if needed, a location. You can search or scroll through the country list.
• Set your authentication settings, for example, whitelisting your own IP addresses if needed.

Once your instance is created, your username and password are generated and ready to use in your code.

For step-by-step instructions on creating and configuring instances, see Product Instances.

3. Monitor your usage

Use the left-hand menu to keep track of how you're using your products.

Go to Usage to see your daily usage. You can switch between Traffic and Requests, use the filters to narrow down the data, and check your remaining credits in the usage graph.

4. Manage billing and spending

Go to Billing & Spending to check your current plan and view past invoices.

Your credits work the same way regardless of where they come from, whether you use your welcome credit, purchase a plan, or add a top-up.

5. Explore plans and get help

Go to Pricing to explore the available plans.
