E-mail Dashboard user vs API user

Describes the difference between two types of credentials associated with GoProxies.

Intro

When using Goproxies, you will have two types of credentials - one is the Dashboard Access and the other is API user for proxy. Each serves a different purpose — one for managing your account and accessing reports, the other for accessing proxy services.

Dashboard Access:

The format of these credentials are:

• email for a username, e.g [e-mail]

• alpha-numeric password.

They are used when going to dashboard.goproxies.com , or by pressing “log in” on the top-right of the general goproxies.com website:

Unless you registered on your own with Google authentication, please enter the email and password for the dashboard access under “Email” and “Password” respectively:

API users (for proxy access)

These are credentials that you use to make proxy requests with, for example (if you’ve purchased a residential proxy):

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

Where the username and password are the ones that either the GoProxies team manually created for you (which they will always label as “API User”) or you’ve either generated one on your own on the dashboard as you were purchasing the product:

Important! If you’ve missed this window and failed to copy the password, please reach out to the GoProxies support team and they will help you have it recovered.
