Residential Sticky Sessions
The ScrapeOps Residential Proxy Aggregator enables you to use the same IP address for multiple requests using the sticky_session
query parameter.
For example, adding sticky_session=7
to a group of requests will tell the API to use the same proxy IP for all of these requests. The session number you set can be any number from 0 to 10000.
This is useful if you are scraping a website where you need to chain together multiple requests from the same IP address to get the data you need.
If no sticky_session
parameter has been set then the proxy will use a new IP address every time.
You can see it in action with the curl request below if you make multiple requests to https://httpbin.org/ip
you will see that the IP address stays the same.
curl -k -x "http://scrapeops.sticky_session=7:YOUR_API_KEY@residential-proxy.scrapeops.io:8181" "https://httpbin.org/ip"
