# How to create a sub-user via GoProxies API?

To add an additional sub-user under your main user, you would need to use the auth token that you received from [login step](https://docs.goproxies.com/proxies/faq/how-to-login-into-goproxies-api-and-list-your-current-sub-users#how-to-login-into-goproxies-api) and add it into this request. Example below:

```shellscript
curl -X POST https://api.goproxies.com/api/v1/reseller/subusers \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer {YOUR_TOKEN_FROM_LOGIN}" \
     -d '{"username": "MY_USER", "enabled": true, "traffic_limit_amount": 10, "period_seconds": 99999, "recurring": true}'
```

In this request these are variable options:

* `username` - replace `MY_USER` with the username that you want to give to your sub-user.
* `enabled` - `true/false`, if you want to the sub-user to be enabled to get traffic set to true if not - false.
* `traffic_limit_amount` - amount of traffic in GBs that the sub-user is allowed to use.
* `period_seconds` - how long the sub-user will be active in seconds.
* `recurring` - `true/false`, if you want sub-user to automatically renew once it expires due to `"period_seconds"` set it to true, otherwise to false.

Once a sub-user is created you will receive a similar output, which means the sub-user was successfully created:\
`{"enabled":true,"period_seconds":99999,"period_started_at":"2025-01-01T00:00:00.0Z","recurring":true,"secret":"b09bac352778f29sb1cb55ab255c6def","traffic_limit_amount":10,"traffic_limit_unit":"GB","traffic_used":0,"username":"MY_USER"}`

**Note:** Remember the "secret" provided, as it will serve as the password for directing proxy traffic via the sub-user.
