# Making Request

## **Basic Queries**

Execute requests with only `USERNAME` and `PASSWORD`. Uses random residential IPs that rotate with each request.Every new request will use a different proxy.

**Code Example**

The following example illustrates how to query **`ipinfo.thordata.com`** using a randomly assigned IP address, with the request formatted for **HTTPS** to ensure secure and reliable communication.

```sh
curl -x "https://td-customer-USERNAME:PASSWORD@t.pr.thordata.net:9999" "https://ipinfo.thordata.com"

## **Targeted Requests**

Thordata allows embedding geo-targeting and session parameters directly in your username to specify proxy **locations** (Continent/Country/state/city) or control **Session**.

Example: Using a proxy from **Melbourne**, **Australia** with a **10-minute sticky session**

```sh
curl -x "https://td-customer-USERNAME-country-au-state-victoria-city-melbourne-sessid-au123-sesstime-10:PASSWORD@t.na.thordata.net:9999" "https://ipinfo.thordata.com"
```

## **Request Parameters**
