Some sites are restricted on our network of Rotating Residential Proxies to avoid abuse and unknown activity.
As of March 2023, we have decided to start blocking .gov sites and banking sites, IMAP (ports 110, 993. 995 and 143), and mail ports with DCH and ISP proxies. You can find a full list of blocked sites here.
Note: We also do not allow our Rotating Residential Proxies to be used for crawling or browsing search engines. If you have a need to collect search engine data, we recommend that you use one of our other solutions, such as the SERP Crawler API.
If you're not sure if Nsocks' Rotating Residential Proxies would be helpful for you, feel free to contact our customer support teamat [email protected].
These are the most common response codes you may receive when using our Rotating data centre proxy. If you receive any other response codes, please contact our customer service for more information.
A way to view the response code:
curl -x USERNAME:PASSWORD@SERVER:PORT https://api.ip.cc -i -v
curl -x SERVER:PORT https://api.ip.cc -i -v (API Extraction)
Note: The listed codes are the response codes of the proxy, the response codes of the website are not included in this scope.
Enable session control by filling in the Session field with a string (custom setting), for example, session:a00001, so that requests can be made with as little change to the proxy as possible. The following example shows how session control works:
You got the proxy IP address 1.2.3.4 with the initial query of Session -a00001
As long as you keep sending new requests using the same session ID, the system will route your queries back to the same IPs whenever possible via the 1.2.3.4 route.
code example
If you want to request different IPs for multiple requests, you can do so by changing the session ID.
For example, if you change the session to a00001, a00002, a00003. a00004. a00005. a00006 ......, etc., you will get a different IP, the code example is as follows:
The first a00001 request will select the US IP and subsequent new queries keep the same IP (session control):
curl -x ns-A1234567_area-US_session-a00001_life-5:[email protected]:1234 https://api.ip.cc/
The second a00002 request will select the US IP and subsequent new queries will keep the same IP (session control):
curl -x ns-A1234567_area-US_session-a00002_life-5:[email protected]:1234 https://api.ip.cc/
The third a00003 request will select the US IP and subsequent new queries will keep the same IP (session control):
curl -x ns-A1234567_area-US_session-a00003_life-5:[email protected]:1234 https://api.ip.cc/
The fourth a00004 request will select the US IP and subsequent new queries will keep the same IP (session control):
curl -x ns-A1234567_area-US_session-a00004_life-5:[email protected]
In addition, the life and session parameters need to be used in conjunction to ensure optimal proxy performance and stability.
The life parameter refers to the total usage time of a proxy IP. Within this time frame, the proxy IP is valid for connections and data transfer. For example, a proxy IP may have a life cycle of 5 minutes. This means that the IP is valid and available during these 5 minutes. (life: the length of time the IP is available in minutes, the minimum value of life provided by Nsocks is 1 and the maximum value is 120 (2 hours))
To ensure connection stability, the Nsocks system usually keeps the proxy IP unchanged during a session. Even if the proxy IP is nearing the end of its life, the system replaces it with a new proxy IP well in advance to ensure session continuity and an uninterrupted user experience. This means you get seamless connectivity, even when the current proxy IP is nearing the end of its life cycle.
Example:
curl -x ns-A1234567_area-US_session-a00004_life-5:[email protected]:1234 https://api.ip.cc/
This command will provide stable and continuous connectivity by maintaining the same proxy IP with the specified session ID for the 5 minutes set in the life cycle.
By setting the life and session parameters appropriately, you can optimise the use of the proxy for your specific needs, ensuring the best balance between data transfer and connection stability.
Rotating Residential Proxies currently offers 4 different proxies to choose from. Country-specific random proxy entry points return a new IP for each new request.
These are the available proxies: Asia Region, Europe Region, Americas Region, Smart Region.
- code example
In the following example, a query to https://api.ip.cc is performed from a random IP address in the US
Available entry points:
gw.nsocks.com:2312 Smart Regions
as.nsocks.com:2312 Asia region
eu.nsocks.com:2312 European and American region
us.nsocks.com:2312 Americas region
103.38.254.248:6017 (static proxy entry point reference)
This is by far the fastest way to get started with Rotating data centre proxies. Use the Rotating Data Centre Proxy to make requests to https://api.ip.ccfrom a random location. Don't forget to replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your proxy user credentials. Each request returns a new IP address as the Nsocks rotate automatically.
curl -x USERNAME:[email protected]:2312 https://api.ip.cc/
Let's make the request using a proxy from the United States. All you need to do is change the entry point address. Here is an example from curl, you can find all available country entry points here.
curl -x USERNAME_area-US:[email protected]:2312 https://api.ip.cc/
What if you want to keep the same proxy for multiple requests? The session control feature allows you to do this. Just add session-123456 to your username string, where 123456 can be any random string, and we'll endeavour to provide you with the same proxy IP as long as you keep sending requests with this string (session ID).
curl -x USERNAME_area-US_session-123456_life-5:[email protected]:2312 https://api.ip.cc/

Rotating Residential Proxy API Authentication
Note: API Extraction Authentication Please revisit the extraction link.
Before using API Extraction, you need to add the device IP address to the whitelist. Please refer to: [Add Whitelist Tutorial].
1. Click "API Extraction" on the left side of the dashboard, select Rotating Residential Proxies, and then select the number of proxies you want to generate (the number determines the number of IPs to be extracted, and here you can select 5 as an example), "Country", "State/Province", "Format", "Separator".

2. After all the inputs are completed, click "Generate API Link", after generating the proxy successfully, then click "Open Link". A new browser page will open.
3. The number of IP addresses shown here is 5 because the number is set to 5 in the Quantity column. Return to the previous screen and click "Copy Link" to use it.
Rotating Residential Proxies are intermediate servers between users and the websites they visit.
Rotating Residential Proxies IPs are provided by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Each IP is a Rotating Residential Proxies with selectable countries and cities, which helps users to geo-locate and use them efficiently and securely with precision.Nsocks provides real Residential Proxies with a Proxy IP connection success rate of around 95%.
