Start using Datacenter Proxies per IP
Set up your proxy user
Create an account on the Oxylabs dashboard. Your proxy username and password are the credentials to access the service.
Send a cURL request
Once you’ve created a proxy user, you’ll find a cURL example that you can use to receive a random IP:
Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your proxy user credentials. Enter this command in your terminal or another setup to make a basic request with the first IP from your proxy list.
IP control
You can also use a specific static port to make requests. You will find port numbers in your proxy list. To do so, you should navigate to My Products -> Datacenter Proxies -> Proxy list.
Here is an example using a port (8001) for a static session:
Verify IP parameters
Use ip.oxylabs.io/location to check the parameters of your IPs. This endpoint provides information from four geolocation databases: MaxMind, IP2Location, DB-IP, and IPinfo.io. The details include IP address, provider, country, city, ZIP code, ASN, organization name, time zone, and meta information when available.
Location parameters
To determine the location of your IPs, use https://ip.oxylabs.io/location. Accessing an IP with a specific location does not require additional parameters. Simply send a request to the port corresponding to the IP assigned to your desired location.
Select country
For rotating IPs within a specific country, include a country parameter in your user string. For instance, to rotate only within the US proxy pool, use the parameter country-US:
