Geotargeting

Many websites(mainly search engines) display data based on the geolocation of the incoming request. In such conditions, you can use the geotargeting feature of the API in order to get the perfect data.

You can use the country parameter to control the location of the proxy used to make the request to your target website. You have to pass ISO codes as the value of this parameter in order to use this feature.

For example, if you want to make a request from the United Kingdom then use country=gb or if you want to make a request from Mexico then use country=mx.

This feature is available for all users from Free to Enterprise.
