# Continent

To get a proxy from any of the seven continents, add the `cn-`  parameter and two-letter code to the authorization string. 

The list of continents and corresponding letter codes to chose from:\
\
`cn-AF` for Africa\
`cn-AN` for Antarctica\
`cn-AS` for Asia\
`cn-EU` for Europe\
`cn-NA` for North America\
`cn-OC` for Oceania\
`cn-SA` for South America

#### Code example

In this example, a query to `ip.oxylabs.io/location` is performed from a random IP address from Asia:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="cURL" %}

```shell
curl -x pr.oxylabs.io:7777 -U "customer-USERNAME-cn-AS:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="PHP" %}

```php
<?php
$username = 'USERNAME';
$password = 'PASSWORD';
$continent = 'AS';
$proxy = 'pr.oxylabs.io:7777';
$query = curl_init('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location');
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://$proxy");
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "customer-$username-cn-$continent:$password");
$output = curl_exec($query);
curl_close($query);
if ($output)
    echo $output;
?>
```

{% endtab %}
