Sessions

When you want to use the same proxy for multiple requests then you can simply use session_number parameter. The value of the session can be any integer, simply send a new integer to create a new session (this will allow you to continue using the same proxy for each request with that session number). Sessions expire 60 seconds after the last usage.

No extra cost is involved for using this feature.

API Example

cURL

curl "https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape?api_key=5e3a0e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86&url=http://httpbin.org/ip&session_number=666"

Python

import requests

url = "https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape"
api_key = "5e3a0e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86"
target_url = "http://httpbin.org/ip"
session_number = "666"

params = {
    "api_key": api_key,
    "url": target_url,
    "session_number": session_number
}

response = requests.get(url, params=params)

if response.status_code == 200:
    print(response.text)
else:
    print(f"Request failed with status code {response.status_code}")

Nodejs

const axios = require('axios');

const apiUrl = 'https://api.scrapingdog.com/scrape';
const apiKey = '5e3a0e5a97e5b1ca5b194f42da86';
const targetUrl = 'http://httpbin.org/ip';
const sessionNumber = '666';

const params = {
  api_key: apiKey,
  url: targetUrl,
  session_number: sessionNumber,
};

axios
  .get(apiUrl, { params })
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.error(`Request failed with status code ${error.response.status}`);
  });

PHP

<?php

$response = curl_exec($ch);

if ($response === false) {
    echo 'cURL Error: ' . curl_error($ch);
} else {
    echo $response;
}

curl_close($ch);

Ruby

require 'net/http'

uri = URI(full_url)
response = Net::HTTP.get_response(uri)

if response.is_a?(Net::HTTPSuccess)
  puts response.body
else
  puts "HTTP Request Failed: #{response.code} - #{response.message}"
