Use the proxy with cURL

cURL is the fastest way to try the proxy and to use it in scripts. Replace the placeholders with your proxy's data.

Step by step

1. 1

   Copy host, port, username and password from your proxy's Connection section.

2. 2

   For an HTTP proxy use the -x option with an http:// scheme, for SOCKS5 use socks5h:// (the “h” resolves domains through the proxy).

3. 3

   Check the outgoing IP with a service such as api.ipify.org.

4. 4

   To change IP from a script, call the rotation link and wait about 20 seconds before the next request.

# HTTP
curl -x "http://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://api.ipify.org

# SOCKS5
curl -x "socks5h://USER:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT" https://api.ipify.org

# New IP (rotation link from the client area)
curl "ROTATION_LINK"

Replace USER, PASSWORD, HOST and PORT with your proxy's data (client area › proxy › Connection).

Tips

• Add --max-time 30 so you don't hang during a rotation.
• The URL scheme must match the protocol set in the client area (HTTP or SOCKS5).
