Visit our documentation for further guidelines.
Note that the cURL sample already has some pre-set parameters like location x-proxying-geo-location: United States and JavaScript rendering x-proxying-render: html. The latter can be implemented when experiencing low success rates or retrieving empty content.
See the image below for a breakdown of cURL structure:
For your convenience, we’ve also added the cURL example in code format:
curl 'http://quotes.toscrape.com/js/'\

-H 'x-proxying-geo-location: United States'\
-H 'x-proxying-render: html' -k -v

Web Unblocker employs pre-defined cookies, headers, and sessions to optimize website unblocking. So, it’s best that you refrain from sending any custom parameters commonly used for unblocking, as they may interfere with Web Unblocker’s ability to get quality data.
That being said, for special cases, we support a list of additional functionalities for target-specific requests:
To reuse the same IP for multiple requests, add a session ID, which can be a random string of characters.
To use an IP address from a specific location.
To send custom headers, use x-proxying-force-headers: 1 when submitting your request.
To add custom cookies to your requests.
If your target site returns a non-standard status code with a successful response, you can send the response status code, and our system will not retry the request.
To render JavaScript, use html to get a rendered HTML or png to get a screenshot of the page. You can also define your own browser instructions, such as clicking, inputting, and more. List of instructions.
Web Unblocker allows you to send a POST request to a web endpoint of your choice. You can send data to a target website, making it return a different result.
