This guide walks you through the basics of using Scrapingbypass Proxy, including authentication, proxy configuration, and request setup. Learn how to connect using username/password credentials, configure location and session parameters, and ensure stable, high-performance proxy usage for web scraping and automation scenarios.
Quick Start
ScrapingBypass provides high-performance overseas proxies optimized for global data collection.
ScrapingBypass utilizes Username:Password credentials for basic authentication. To begin, click the encrypted string in your traffic card within the dashboard to copy your credentials. New users must activate a Data Plan first.
Example cURL Request:
curl -x "http://username[options]:[email protected]:1288" http://ipinfo.scrapingbypass.com- Username/Password: Your unique credentials used for proxy authentication.
- Options: Optional configuration parameters separated by underscores (
_). These must remain in the specified order.
Configuration Options
| Option | Format | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Country / Region | [_Area[-State[-City]]] | Use a standard country or region code. Separate the region, state, and city with hyphens (-). Replace any spaces with plus signs (+).Example (New York): USERNAME_US-New+York:[email protected]:1288 |
| Sticky Sessions | [_Session[-Number[Unit]]] | To enable Sticky Sessions, the session value must start with s (we recommend up to 16 characters). This keeps the IP as stable as possible for your task.Example (Session ID): USERNAME_s000000000000:[email protected]:1288 |
| Duration | [-Number[Unit]] | Duration must be used in conjunction with a Session. The default is 5 minutes. Supported units are s (seconds), m (minutes), and h (hours).Example (20min Fixed IP): USERNAME_s000000000000-20m:[email protected]:1288 |
