Getting Started Guide

The fastest and easiest way to set up a residential proxies service is to use an endpoint generator.

After logging into the dashboard, navigate to Residential Proxies > Proxy setup > Endpoint Generator. Configure the required parameters (authentication method, endpoint type, parameter settings, session type) to generate authenticated proxy endpoints. These ready-to-use endpoints can be directly integrated into your web scraping tools or browser extensions.

Before sending a request to ipinfo.thordata.comwith a randomly located Thordata residential proxy, don't forget to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD in cURL with your personal proxy account credentials. Please note that Thordata residential proxy features automatically changing IP, which means that every time you send a request, you will be assigned a new IP address.

curl -x t.pr.thordata.net:9999 -U "td-customer-USERNAME:PASSWORD" ipinfo.thordata.com

Send a request through a proxy in a specified country/region: For example, to use a proxy in the United States to send a request, you only need to add country-US to the username string. The following is a cURL example.

curl -x t.pr.thordata.net:9999 -U "td-customer-USERNAME-country-US:PASSWORD" ipinfo.thordata.com

curl -x t.pr.thordata.net:9999 -U "td-customer-USERNAME-country-US-city-houston:PASSWORD" ipinfo.thordata.com

If you want to send requests with same proxy, you can use session control. You only need to add sessid-a123123 to the username string. a123123 here can use any customized string you want. As long as you continue to use this string (session ID) to send requests, we will try our best to ensure that you always pass same proxy IP to connect.

curl -x t.pr.thordata.net:9999 -U "td-customer-USERNAME-sessid-a123123:PASSWORD" ipinfo.thordata.com
