# Helium Scraper
[**Helium Scraper**](https://www.heliumscraper.com/eng/) is a data extraction tool that allows you to scrape public data employing proxies to handle various challenges such as CAPTCHAs and IP flagging.
Follow the steps below to integrate and Helium Scraper with the follwoing Oxylabs proxies:
* [**Residential & Mobile Proxies**](#residential-and-mobile-proxies)
* [**Datacenter Proxies**](#datacenter-proxies)
* [**Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)**](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-enterprise)
* [**Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-service)**](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-self-service)
* [**ISP Proxies**](#isp-proxies)
* [**Dedicated ISP Proxies**](#dedicated-isp-proxies)
### **Step 1**
[**Download**](https://www.heliumscraper.com/eng/download.php) and install the tool.
### **Step 2**
Launch Helium Scraper and select **File > Proxy List.**
### **Step 3**
Fill in the required credentials for your chosen proxy type:
* [Residential & Mobile Proxies](#residential-and-mobile-proxies)
* [Datacenter Proxies](#datacenter-proxies)
* [Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-enterprise)
* [Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-service)](#dedicated-datacenter-proxies-self-service)
* [ISP Proxies](#isp-proxies)
* [Dedicated ISP Proxies](#dedicated-isp-proxies)
#### Residential & Mobile Proxies
**Address:** `pr.oxylabs.io`
**Port:** `7777`
**User Name:** `customer-username`
**Password:** `password`
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `customer-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}
You may also use **additional parameters** with residential and mobile proxies to set the geo-location (country, state, city, and etc.) and control sessions. Check out the [Residential Proxies documentation](/products/proxies/residential-proxies.md) to learn more.
#### Datacenter Proxies
**Address:** `dc.oxylabs.io`
**Port:** `8001`
**User Name:** `user-username`
**Password:** `password`
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `user-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}
For **pay-per-IP** subscription, the port is the sequential number assigned to an IP address from the [proxy list](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list.md). Thus, port `8001` uses the first IP address from your list. You may also enable [proxy IP rotation](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/ip-control.md) by setting the port to `8000`. Furthermore, you can specify the [geo-location](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country.md), for example, the US, by setting the **Proxy username** to `user-USERNAME-country-US`.
For **pay-per-traffic** subscription, The port `8001` picks a random IP address but stays consistent during a session. Alternatively, you can [rotate proxy IPs](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/ip-control.md) with each request by using port `8000`. If you want to use a specific [geo-location](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/select-country.md), for example, the US, set the Proxy username to `user-USERNAME-country-US`.
#### Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Enterprise)
**Address:** a specific IP address (e.g., `1.2.3.4`)
**Port:** `60000`
**User Name:** `username`
**Password:** `password`
For Enterprise Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via sales), you’ll have to choose an IP address from the acquired [proxy list](/products/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/enterprise/proxy-lists.md).
#### Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (Self-service)
**Address:** `ddc.oxylabs.io`
**Port:** `8001`
**User Name:** `user-username`
**Password:** `password`
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `user-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}
For Self-Service Dedicated Datacenter Proxies (purchased via Oxylabs dashboard), the port indicates the sequential number of an IP address from the acquired [proxy list](/products/proxies/datacenter-proxies/proxy-list.md). If you want to get a different IP with each request, change the **Port** to `8000` to enable [proxy rotation](/products/proxies/dedicated-datacenter-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation.md).
#### ISP Proxies
**Address:** `isp.oxylabs.io`
**Port:** `8001`
**User Name:** `user-username`
**Password:** `password`
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `user-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}
ISP Proxies assign each port to a specific IP address and location. Port `8001` always uses the first IP from your [proxy list](/products/proxies/isp-proxies/proxy-list.md). Use port `8000` to enable [proxy rotation](/products/proxies/isp-proxies/proxy-rotation.md).
To get rotating IPs from a specific country's proxy pool, set the username using this format: `user-USERNAME-country-XX`, where `XX` is the country code (e.g., `US` for United States).
#### Dedicated ISP Proxies
**Address:** `disp.oxylabs.io`
**Port:** `8001`
**User Name:** `user-username`
**Password:** `password`
{% hint style="warning" %}
**Note:** Don't forget to add `user-` prefix to your username.
{% endhint %}
You will need to choose the port assigned to an IP address from the purchased [proxy list](/products/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-list.md), which you can find on the Oxylabs dashboard. The `8001` port will pick the first IP address from your list for all requests. Use port `8000` for automatic [proxy IP rotation](/products/proxies/dedicated-isp-proxies/self-service/proxy-rotation.md).
### **Step 4**
Press **OK** to finish the setup.
### **Step 5**
Open the Helium Scraper project you are working on and navigate to **Project > Settings**. Complete this and the following steps every time you start a new project.
### **Step 6**
Change **Enable Proxies** to **True** and click **OK**.
### **Step 7**
Finally, visit a website that shows IP addresses using Helium's main browser to verify the proxy integration with Helium Scraper. Confirm that the IP address has indeed changed.
That's all! You've successfully integrated your Oxylabs proxies with Helium.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://developers.oxylabs.io/integrations/proxy-integrations/helium-scraper.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
