Thordata supports batch import and export of IPs, compatible with the following file formats: CSV, JSON, and TXT.

{% hint style="success" %}
The import file content must conform to one of the following formats:

* `IP:Port Number:Username:Password`&#x20;
* `IP:Port Number@Username:Password`&#x20;
* `Username:Password:IP:Port Number`&#x20;
* `Username:Password@IP:Port Number`&#x20;
* `IP:Port Number##Username##Password`&#x20;
* `IP,Port Number,Username,Password` &#x20;
  {% endhint %}

Please make sure the file content fully complies with the above format requirements to ensure that the batch import and export operations are executed smoothly and completed without errors.
