High-Bandwidth Proxies

Learn about Oxylabs High-Bandwidth Proxies and how to use them for video or audio scraping tasks.

Getting Started

To start using our High Bandwidth Proxies for video data and audio scraping, contact our sales team to receive your dedicated endpoint. Each customer gets a unique proxy endpoint configured for their specific needs. To directly integrate this solution with yt_dlp library, please refer to this page:

YouTube Downloader (yt_dlp) integration

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

import requests
import random

username = 'YOUR_USERNAME'
password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
proxy = 'your-endpoint:60000'

if not username.endswith("-test"):
    username += "-test"

proxies = {
    "http": f"http://{username}:{password}@{proxy}",
    "https": f"http://{username}:{password}@{proxy}"
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://ip.oxylabs.io/location", 
    proxies=proxies
)
print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');
const https = require('https');

const username = 'YOUR_USERNAME';
const password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';
const proxyHost = 'your-endpoint';
const proxyPort = 60000;

const client = axios.create({
    httpsAgent: new https.Agent({
        rejectUnauthorized: false
    })
});

const modifiedUsername = username.endsWith("-test") ? username : username + "-test";

client.get('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location', {

        auth: {

            password: password
        }
    }

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.

curl -x username-$((1 + RANDOM % 100000)):password@your-endpoint:60000 \
     https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

import requests
import random

username = 'YOUR_USERNAME'
password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD'
proxy = 'your-endpoint:60000'

random_number = random.randint(1, 100000)  # Generate random number
modified_username = f"{username}-{random_number}"

proxies = {
    "http": f"http://{modified_username}:{password}@{proxy}",
    "https": f"http://{modified_username}:{password}@{proxy}"
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://ip.oxylabs.io/location",
    proxies=proxies,
)
print(response.text)

const axios = require('axios');
const https = require('https');

const username = 'YOUR_USERNAME';
const password = 'YOUR_PASSWORD';

const randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100000) + 1;
const modifiedUsername = `${username}-${randomNumber}`;

const client = axios.create({
    httpsAgent: new https.Agent({
        rejectUnauthorized: false
    })

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