Get Proxy via API Method

Learn how to configure and use the Rapidproxy API method to retrieve dynamic residential proxies using IP whitelist authentication.

This guide explains how to obtain Dynamic (Rotating) Residential Proxies using the API Acquisition method in Rapidproxy. With API Acquisition, you can generate proxy API links based on your selected parameters and integrate them directly into your applications.

Overview

The API Acquisition method allows you to generate proxy access links dynamically by configuring proxy parameters in the dashboard.

Using this method, you can:

• Define IP quantity and target location

• Select proxy protocol and output format

• Generate ready-to-use API links

• Copy and integrate the API link into scripts or tools

Accessing API Acquisition

To open the API Acquisition settings:

1. Log in to your Rapidproxy account.

2. Go to UCenter.

3. Navigate to: Rotating Residential Proxies → Use Proxy → API Method

This page contains all available settings required to generate proxy API links.

API Acquisition Setup

Follow the steps below to configure and generate your proxy API link.

---

Step 1: Set IP Quantity and Region

On the API Method page:

1. Set the IP Quantity (number of proxy IPs to retrieve).

2. Select the desired Region / Country according to your needs.

These settings determine how many IPs you receive and from which location.

---

Step 2: Configure API Parameters

Next, configure the output and protocol options:

• Proxy Protocol Choose the protocol you want to use (e.g. HTTP(S) or SOCKS5).

• Data Format Select the format in which proxy data will be returned (for example, plain text or structured format).

• Delimiter Choose the delimiter used to separate proxy fields in the output.

These options control how proxy information is returned by the API.

Step 3: Generate the API Link

After completing all settings:

1. Click Generate results.

2. The system will generate a proxy API link based on your configuration.

3. Click the generated link to copy it.

You can now use this API link directly in your application, script, or proxy management tool.

Using the Generated API Link

Once copied, the API link can be:

• Embedded into automation scripts

• Used in proxy-enabled tools

• Integrated into scraping frameworks or applications

As long as your IP is whitelisted, the API link will return valid proxy data according to your configuration.

Notes & Best Practices

• Make sure your outbound IP address is added to the whitelist before using the API.

• If your server IP changes, update the whitelist accordingly.

• You can regenerate API links at any time by adjusting parameters and clicking Generate results again.
