State

To receive proxy IP address from a specific state, you would need to use the state header together with the 2-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code. For example state-us_illinois , state-us_ohio , state-us_california .

Below is a few examples with the state targeting in the username.

Alabama	state-us_alabama
Colorado	state-us_colorado
Florida	state-us_florida

Request example

cURL

curl --proxytunnel --proxy "https://customer-USERNAME-state-us_idaho:[e-mail]:1080" https://ip.goproxies.com

JavaScript

npm install axios https-proxy-agent

// state-example.js
const axios = require('axios');
const { HttpsProxyAgent } = require('https-proxy-agent');

const username = 'customer-USERNAME-state-us_florida'; // e.g. state-us_florida
const password = 'PASSWORD';
const proxyUrl = `http://${encodeURIComponent(username)}:${encodeURIComponent(password)}@hosting.goproxies.com:1080`;
const agent = new HttpsProxyAgent(proxyUrl);

(async () => {
  try {
    const res = await axios.get('https://ip.goproxies.com', { httpsAgent: agent, timeout: 10000 });
    console.log('status:', res.status);
    console.log('body:', res.data);
  } catch (err) {
    console.error('request error:', err.message);
  }
})();

Python

# state_example.py
import requests
from urllib.parse import quote

username = "customer-USERNAME-state-us_colorado"  # e.g. state-us_colorado
password = "PASSWORD"
proxy = f"http://{quote(username)}:{quote(password)}@hosting.goproxies.com:1080"

proxies = {"http": proxy, "https": proxy}

resp = requests.get("https://ip.goproxies.com", proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
print(resp.status_code)
print(resp.text)

Go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	proxyURL, _ := url.Parse("http://customer-USERNAME-state-us_florida:[e-mail]:1080") // e.g. state-us_florida
	transport := &http.Transport{
		Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL),
		TLSHandshakeTimeout: 10 * time.Second,
	}
	client := &http.Client{Transport: transport, Timeout: 15 * time.Second}

	resp, err := client.Get("https://ip.goproxies.com")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println("request error:", err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()
	body, _ := io.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	fmt.Println("status:", resp.Status)
	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Ruby

# state_example.rb
require 'net/http'
require 'uri'

username = 'customer-USERNAME-state-us_alabama' # e.g. state-us_alabama
password = 'PASSWORD'

uri = URI('https://ip.goproxies.com')
proxy_addr = 'hosting.goproxies.com'
proxy_port = 1080

Net::HTTP::Proxy(proxy_addr, proxy_port, username, password).start(uri.host, uri.port, use_ssl: true) do |http|
  req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)
  res = http.request(req)
  puts res.code
  puts res.body
end

PHP

<?php
// state_example.php
$ch = curl_init('https://ip.goproxies.com');

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'hosting.goproxies.com:1080');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'customer-USERNAME-state-us_colorado:PASSWORD'); // e.g. state-us_colorado
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, true);

$response = curl_exec($ch);
if ($response === false) {
    echo 'cURL error: ' . curl_error($ch) . PHP_EOL;
} else {
    echo 'Response: ' . $response . PHP_EOL;
}
curl_close($ch);

Note: State parameter will have priority against Country, so if used together those headers will be ignored.
