Access the Proxy

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

circle-info

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.)
