Making Requests

Basic query

Basic query only requires passing username and password. No other parameters are needed. Such a query will result in the request being made from a random IP address (proxy). Every new request will use a different proxy.

Code examples

In this example, a query is performed from a random IP:

curl -x socks5://USERNAME-zone-custom:PASSWORD@global.proxyforu.com:3000 ipinfo.io

A single backconnect proxy (global.proxyforu.com:3000) enables you to choose a specific country or region proxy via additional parameters in the username. This approach also supports session control. Here is a sample of credentials:

USERNAME-zone-custom-region-us-st-CA-session-abcd1234-sessTime-10-rc-0:PASSWORD
