Access the Proxy

Web Stealth Proxy is available via HTTP and HTTPS. Authentication is done using the username and password method.

Your Web Stealth Proxy credentials are stored in the Start Here section of the Web Stealth Proxy service page.

These are the Proxy endpoints:

  • HTTPS at stealthproxy.webscrapingapi.com:8000

  • HTTP at stealthproxy.webscrapingapi.com:80

The authentication protocol requires you to specify:

username:password@stealthproxy.webscrapingapi.com:port_number

The most basic example of an authenticated cURL request is:

curl -k -x "http://stealthproxy.webscrapingapi.com:80" -U "<YOUR_USERNAME>:<YOUR_PASSWORD>" -X GET "https://httpbin.org/get" 

If you decide to use the Web Stealth Proxy, please make sure you disable the SSL certificates verification (-k switch in cURL, verify=false in Python etc.)
