Oxylabs Proxies Reference

Gets Oxylabs proxy auth, geo-targeting and sticky-session parameters exactly right across Residential, Mobile, Datacenter and ISP products.

Web & APIIntermediate★ 471⑂ 1AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 13, 2026

What it does

  • Maps every Oxylabs proxy family (Residential, Mobile, shared Datacenter/ISP, Dedicated DC/ISP) to its correct host and port.
  • Explains the customer- vs user- username prefixes and which env vars to use (OXY_RES_* vs OXY_DC_*).
  • Builds geo-targeting strings for country, city, US state, ZIP, ASN, and lat/lon radius headers with the right syntax.
  • Configures sticky sessions via sessid, sessid_oneip, and sesstime, including expiry and cap rules.

Who it's for

  • Scraping engineers with a paid Oxylabs subscription.
  • Data teams collecting geo-specific prices or SERPs across countries.
  • Anyone needing a stable exit IP to keep a logged-in crawl session alive.

Examples

  1. "Give me a curl command that hits this page from a New York, US IP" → produces customer-...-cc-US-city-new_york credentials.
  2. "Write Python requests code that keeps the same IP for 10 minutes" → applies sessid plus sesstime.
  3. "I only want the first IP from my dedicated list" → explains port-based access starting at 8001 instead of the rotating 8000.
