City

Add a city parameter to narrow down to city-level targeting. For example, cc-DE-city-munich means that a proxy from Munich, Germany, will handle the query.

We support every city in the world, yet due to the dynamic nature of Residential Proxies we do not guarantee we will have proxies there at specific moment in time. Most popular cities are well covered.

Here are a few examples of valid combinations of cc and city parameters: cc-US-city-los_angeles cc-IT-city-rome cc-TH-city-bangkok cc-JP-city-tokyo cc-AU-city-sydney cc-ES-city-barcelona

Code examples

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

cURL

curl -x pr.oxylabs.io:7777 -U "customer-USERNAME-cc-DE-city-munich:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

PHP

<?php
$username = 'USERNAME';
$password = 'PASSWORD';
$country = 'DE';
$city = 'munich';
$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-cc-$country-city-$city:$password");
$output = curl_exec($query);
curl_close($query);
if ($output)
    echo $output;
?>

Python

import urllib.request
import random
username = 'USERNAME'
password = 'PASSWORD'
country = 'DE'
city = 'munich'
entry = ('http://customer-%s-cc-%s-city-%s:[e-mail]:7777' %
    (username, country, city, password))
query = urllib.request.ProxyHandler({
    'http': entry,
    'https': entry,
})
execute = urllib.request.build_opener(query)
print(execute.open('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location').read())

Java

package example;

import org.apache.http.HttpHost;
import org.apache.http.client.fluent.*;

public class Example {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        HttpHost entry = new HttpHost("pr.oxylabs.io", 7777);
        String query = Executor.newInstance()
            .auth(entry, "customer-USERNAME-cc-DE-city-munich", "PASS")
            .execute(Request.Get("http://ip.oxylabs.io/location").viaProxy(entry))
            .returnContent().asString();
        System.out.println(query);
    }
}

C#

using System;
using System.Net;

class Example
{
    static void Main()
    {
        var client = new WebClient();
        client.Proxy = new WebProxy("pr.oxylabs.io:7777");
        client.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("customer-USERNAME-cc-DE-city-munich", "PASSWORD");
        Console.WriteLine(client.DownloadString("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location"));
    }
}

Ruby

require 'uri'
require 'net/http'

uri = URI.parse('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location')
proxy = Net::HTTP::Proxy('pr.oxylabs.io', 7777, 'customer-USERNAME-cc-DE-city-munich', 'PASSWORD')

req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path)

result = proxy.start(uri.host,uri.port) do |http|
    http.request(req)
end

puts result.body
