To connect to a proxy using a ZIP code, add and specify the postalcode parameter with a five-digit ZIP code in the username. This parameter must be used combined with the country code parameter cc and a case-insensitive country code in 2-letter 3166-1 alpha-2 format.
Here is an example of the username:
customer-USERNAME-cc-US-postalcode-90210
Currently we support only US-based codes for ZIP code targeting.
Proxy location using ZIP code is being matched using MaxMind IP Geolocation database. There can be a mismatch between ZIP codes when checking IP addresses against other IP geo-location databases.
Code examples
In this example, a query to ip.oxylabs.io/location is performed from a proxy located in the United States with a ZIP code 90210:
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-US-postalcode-90210", "PASS")
.execute(Request.Get("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location").viaProxy(entry))
.returnContent().asString();
System.out.println(query);
}
}
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-US-postalcode-90210", "PASSWORD");
Console.WriteLine(client.DownloadString("https://ip.oxylabs.io/location"));
}
}
require 'uri'
require 'net/http'
uri = URI.parse('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location')
proxy = Net::HTTP::Proxy('pr.oxylabs.io', 7777, 'customer-USERNAME-cc-US-postalcode-90210', 'PASSWORD')
req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri.path)
result = proxy.start(uri.host,uri.port) do |http|
http.request(req)
end
puts result.body
