# Access the Proxy

{% hint style="info" %}
Your Web Stealth Proxy **credentials** are stored in the **Start Here** section of the Web Stealth Proxy service page.
{% endhint %}

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:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

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

{% endcode %}

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.)
