Select Country

Learn how to target specific proxy locations and how to use rotation logic.

If you want to access IPs from specific locations, you have to provide a country – parameter with a two letter country code in your username Here is the list of country parameters. For example, if you want to use United States country parameter, add country-US.

Find complete list of supported countries in the table below.

For example, if you want to rotate United States proxy pool only, use rotating port 8000 together with a parameter country-US in your username:

curl -x dc.oxylabs.io:8000 -U 'user-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD' https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

Code examples

cURL

curl -x dc.oxylabs.io:8000 -U 'user-USERNAME-country-COUNTRY:PASSWORD' https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

Python

#pip install requests
import requests

username = 'USERNAME'
password = 'PASSWORD'
country = 'COUNTRY'
proxy = 'dc.oxylabs.io:8000'

proxies = {
   "https": ('https://user-%s-country-%s:%s@%s' % (username, country, password, proxy))
}

response=requests.get("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location", proxies=proxies)

print(response.content)

Node.js

//npm install axios
const axios = require("axios");
const https = require("https");

const client = axios.create({
    httpsAgent: new https.Agent({
        rejectUnauthorized: false,
    }),
});
const username = 'USERNAME';
const country = 'COUNTRY'
const password = 'PASSWORD'

client
    .get("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location", {
        proxy: {
            protocol: "https",
            host: "dc.oxylabs.io",
            port: 8000,
            auth: {
                username: `user-${username}-country-${country}`,
                password: password,
            },
        },
    })
    .then((res) => {
        console.log(res.data);
    })
    .catch((err) => console.error(err));

Differences between subscription methods

Datacenter per IP users who provide rotating port and country parameter will receive a random IP from the selected country from their Proxy list with each new request. Datacenter per traffic users who provide rotating port and country parameter will receive random IP from the selected country from the entire proxy pool.

We use the MaxMind GeoIP2 database to determine IPs location.
