③ Edit Account: Click Edit to update the username, password, status, usage limits, or notes.
④ Delete Accounts:

Multiple accounts:: Select multiple accounts and use Batch Delete.

Generate Proxy Endpoint
① Navigate to: Proxies → Residential Proxies → Endpoint Generator.
② Authentication method: Select 【User】,then choose a proxy user from the username dropdown.
If no account exists, click 【Add Now】 to create one.
③ Location settings:
The system automatically assigns the optimal domain based on the selected proxy region.
Manual override: Use dropdowns to select Continent, Country/Region, State, City, or ISP.
Refer to the Location Settings for detailed instructions.
④ Session Settings:
Rotating Session: Automatically switches IPs with each request (ideal for high anonymity).
Sticky Session: Maintains the same IP for 1-90 minutes (ideal for session continuity).
⑤ Submit Request:
Send a request with authentication credentials to https://ipinfo.thordata.com via the proxy endpoint to start using Thordata’s proxy service.
Refer to the Making Requests guide for detailed instructions.
Example:
curl -x "http://td-customer-Username-sessid-123456-sesstime-90:[email protected]:9999" "https://ipinfo.thordata.com
⑥ Output Format: The system generates a single-string proxy credential:
ProxyAddress:ProxyPort:ProxyUsername:ProxyPassword
Select your preferred Output Format, set the Number of Proxies, specify the Connection Protocol, then Generate & Activate.
Your Proxy Authentication Username differs from your Dashboard Management Username and cannot be used interchangeably.
