Oxylabs Proxy Integration Guide

Gives Claude the exact Oxylabs endpoints, auth formats, geo-targeting parameters and session rules needed to wire proxies into scrapers correctly.

Web & APIIntermediate★ 875⑂ 2AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 24, 2026

What it does

  • Tabulates host/port per proxy product (pr.oxylabs.io:7777, dc.oxylabs.io:8000, isp.oxylabs.io:8001, dedicated DC/ISP).
  • Explains auth prefixes (customer- for Residential/Mobile, user- for shared Datacenter/ISP) and separate env vars OXY_RES_* / OXY_DC_*.
  • Documents geo-targeting username parameters: country, city, US state, ZIP, carrier ASN, and lat/lon radius header.
  • Covers sticky/rotating sessions with sessid, sessid_oneip, sesstime and their expiry limits.
  • Compares HTTP, HTTPS, SOCKS5 and MASQUE (HTTP/3) transports, including caveats such as Google being restricted over UDP.

Who it's for

  • Developers with an Oxylabs subscription building scrapers or crawlers.
  • Data engineers validating geo-restricted content (pricing, ad verification).
  • Anyone repeatedly misconfiguring rotation vs. assigned ports or sticky sessions.

Examples

  1. "Give me a curl command that fetches this page from a New York, US IP" → builds customer-...-cc-US-city-new_york.
  2. "Write Python requests code that keeps the same exit IP for 5 minutes" → uses sessid plus sesstime-5.
  3. "High-volume crawl where speed matters — which product?" → recommends shared Datacenter on rotation port 8000 with a working snippet.

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/proxies folder from the GitHub repo oxylabs/agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/proxies/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills.git /tmp/oxylabs-agent-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/oxylabs-agent-skills/skills/proxies ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill: cp -r agent-skills/skills/proxies ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Export your Oxylabs credentials as environment variables:
    • export OXY_RES_USERNAME=... and export OXY_RES_PASSWORD=... (Residential/Mobile)
    • export OXY_DC_USERNAME=... and export OXY_DC_PASSWORD=... (Datacenter/ISP)
    • Add them to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc so they persist.
  6. Restart Claude Code and try: "send a test request through the Oxylabs proxy from a US IP".
