Oxylabs Web Unblocker Skill

Teaches Claude how to fetch anti-bot-protected pages through the Oxylabs Web Unblocker proxy, including rendering, sessions, and geo-targeting.

What it does

  • Gives Claude the exact recipe for the Oxylabs Web Unblocker proxy endpoint (https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000) with HTTP Basic Auth credentials.
  • Documents the key headers: x-oxylabs-render (HTML or PNG rendering), X-Oxylabs-Session-Id (sticky IP), X-Oxylabs-Geo-Location (country, city/state, ZIP, coordinates), forced header/cookie passthrough, custom success status codes, and browser instructions.
  • Includes operational guidelines: always pass -k (proxy uses its own certs), set ~180s timeouts for rendered requests, check X-Oxylabs-Final-Url for redirects, avoid conflicting unblocking headers.
  • Provides a decision table for Web Unblocker vs. regular proxies, plus a pointer to multi-language code examples.

Who it's for

  • Data engineers with an existing Oxylabs subscription running scraping pipelines.
  • Crawler developers blocked by CAPTCHAs and browser fingerprinting.
  • Teams extracting data from JavaScript-heavy single-page apps.

Example uses

  1. "This product page returns 403" → Claude writes a curl/Python request through Web Unblocker with x-oxylabs-render: html.
  2. "Show me German pricing" → adds X-Oxylabs-Geo-Location: Germany to the request.
  3. "Crawl several pages from the same IP after login" → uses X-Oxylabs-Session-Id plus forced cookie passthrough.

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/web-unblocker folder from the GitHub repo oxylabs/agent-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/web-unblocker/.
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/web-unblocker ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Open a terminal and create the skills directory: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills.git /tmp/oxylabs-agent-skills
  3. Copy just this skill: cp -r /tmp/oxylabs-agent-skills/skills/web-unblocker ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Get your Web Unblocker username and password from the Oxylabs dashboard (paid product).
  5. Export credentials: export OXYLABS_USERNAME="..." and export OXYLABS_PASSWORD="..." (add them to ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to persist).
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask something like "fetch this blocked URL via Web Unblocker" to trigger the skill.
