Frequently asked questions
What is a proxy API?
A proxy API is an interface that allows you to control and manage proxy services programmatically. It lets you interact with proxy servers, handle tasks like authentication, manage sub-users, and monitor traffic. You can automate and streamline proxy-related actions for your business or personal use with the API.
How does a proxy API work?
A proxy API works by providing endpoints that let users control and configure proxy settings. You can use it to create sub-users, whitelist IPs, retrieve proxy details, and track usage. By sending API requests, you can automate proxy management without needing to log into a dashboard.
What is an API gateway vs. a proxy?
An API gateway acts as a central point that manages and routes requests to different services, often handling tasks like authentication, rate limiting, and load balancing. A proxy, on the other hand, is a server that forwards requests to other servers, typically for security or load-balancing purposes. While both act as intermediaries, an API gateway is focused on managing APIs, while a proxy is more focused on network traffic.
How to use Smartproxy's residential proxy API?
First, make sure you have an active residential proxy plan. You can purchase one on our dashboard or start with a 3-day free trial to explore the features.
Next, click on your profile icon in the top-right corner and select Settings. In the API Keys tab, enter a name for your API key, hit Create, and be sure to copy it – once you close the pop-up, you won't be able to view it again in full.
For integration guidance across multiple programming languages, visit our help documentation or GitHub.
Are residential proxies illegal?
Residential proxies are legal when used for legitimate purposes, such as market research, ad verification, and collecting publicly available data. However, it’s essential to follow the terms of service of the websites you interact with and refrain from any unethical or illegal activities.
How much does proxy API cost?
Our Public API is completely free with any residential proxy plan. There are no additional charges for using the API, and you’ll have full access to manage your proxies, set traffic limits, whitelist IPs, and monitor usage.
