Select Country

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:

Country	Country code
United States	country-US
Germany	country-DE
France	country-FR
Netherlands	country-NL
United Kingdom	country-GB
Romania	country-RO
Belgium	country-BE
Japan	country-JP

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));

PHP

<?php

$username = 'USERNAME';
$country = 'COUNTRY';
$password = 'PASSWORD';
$proxy = 'dc.oxylabs.io:8000';
$target = 'https://ip.oxylabs.io/location';

$request = curl_init($target);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_PROXY, $proxy);
curl_setopt($request, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "user-$username-country-$country:$password");
$responseBody = curl_exec($request);
$error = curl_error($request);
curl_close($request);

if ($responseBody !== false) {
    echo 'Response: ' . $responseBody;
} else {
    echo 'Failed to connect to proxy: ' . $error;
}

Go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"
)

func main() {
	username, country, password, entry := "USERNAME", "COUNTRY", "PASSWORD", "dc.oxylabs.io:8000"

	proxy, err := url.Parse(fmt.Sprintf("https://user-%s-country-%s:%s@%s", username, country, password, entry))
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	transport := &http.Transport{
		Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxy),
	}
	client := &http.Client{Transport: transport}
	target := "https://ip.oxylabs.io/location"
	response, err := client.Get(target)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	defer response.Body.Close()

	body, err := io.ReadAll(response.Body)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println("Response:")
	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Java

package com.example;

import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import java.util.Base64;

                .viaProxy(HttpHost.create(proxyURI))
                .execute().returnContent().asString();

        System.out.println(response);
    }
}

C#

using System.Net;

// .NET currently does not support HTTPS proxies
var proxy = new WebProxy {
    Address = new Uri("dc.oxylabs.io:8000"),
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
        userName: "user-USERNAME-country-COUNTRY",
        password: "PASSWORD"
    )
};

var httpClientHandler = new HttpClientHandler {Proxy = proxy};

using var client = new HttpClient(handler: httpClientHandler, disposeHandler: true);

var result = await client.GetStringAsync("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location");
Console.WriteLine(result);

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.
