Session Control

Adding the sessid parameter with a session ID string, for example, sessid-abc12345, to the user name enables session control. The proxy is not changed with the following requests and the session does not expire. The example below shows how session control works:

Your initial query with sessid-random123 got assigned proxy IP address 1.1.1.1
As long as you keep sending new requests with the same session ID, the system will route your queries through 1.1.1.1

Credentials list example:

Example represents a list of credentials that establish different sessions.

customer-USERNAME-sessid-iqwcp:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessid-tevab:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessid-6drwn:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessid-7eh7g:PASSWORD
customer-USERNAME-sessid-z7cao:PASSWORD

Code examples

German IP is chosen for the first request, and then the same IP is kept with new queries (session control):

curl -x dc.de-pr.oxylabs.io:40000 -U "customer-USERNAME-sessid-abcde12345:PASSWORD" https://ip.oxylabs.io/location

<?php
$username = 'USERNAME';
$password = 'PASSWORD';
$session = mt_rand();
$proxy = 'dc.de-pr.oxylabs.io:40000';
$query = curl_init('https://ip.oxylabs.io/location');
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_PROXY, "http://$proxy");
curl_setopt($query, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, "customer-$username-sessid-$session:$password");
$output = curl_exec($query);
curl_close($query);
if ($output)
    echo $output;
?>
