City

You can add a city header parameter together with the 2-letter ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code to target a specific city. For example, using customer-USERNAME-city-us_chicago will request a proxy specifically from Chicago, United States.

Examples of a few cities that you can target in the city parameter:

City

City parameter

Los Angeles

city-us_los_angeles

London

city-gb_london

Munich

city-de_munich

Request example

curl --proxytunnel --proxy "https://customer-USERNAME-city-us_chicago:[email protected]:1080" https://ip.goproxies.com

npm install axios https-proxy-agent

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

const username = 'customer-USERNAME-city-us_los_angeles'; // e.g. city-us_los_angeles
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);
  }
})();

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