Endpoint Configuration

After receiving your endpoint from the account management team, you'll get:

  • A dedicated proxy endpoint

  • Your username and password

  • Port number (default: 60000)

Making Requests

For a quick connection check, add -test parameter to the username.

curl -x username-test:password@your-endpoint:60000 \
     https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

Setting a session for each download

To ensure the optimal success rate, high-bandwidth proxies come with automated load balancing during each session. The -$((1 + RANDOM % 100000)) parameter next to the username generates a random number as a session ID and assigns a different IP address for each download.

The adjusted endpoint will automatically handle IP assignment based on your configuration. Using it ensures a new IP address for each download.
