# Continent

To get a proxy from any of the seven continents, add the `continent-` parameter and two-letter code to the authorization string.

The list of continents and corresponding letter codes to chose from: 

`continent-af` for Africa

`continent-an` for Antarctica 

`continent-as` for Asia

`continent-eu` for Europe 

`continent-na` for North America 

`continent-oc` for Oceania 

`continent-sa` for South America

**Code example**

In this example, a query to **`ipinfo.thordata.com`** is performed from a random IP address from Asia:

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://doc.thordata.com/doc/proxies/mobile-proxies/location-settings/continent.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
