Advanced Parameters

Decodo offers customizable proxy access through a single backconnect endpoint and port: dc.decodo.com:10000.

To specify all proxy parameters in your request, you can use one method: Username and password.

🚧

Backconnect parameters are not supported by Datacenter Pay/IP proxies when authenticating via the whitelisted IP method.

Available Parameters

Application support

User:pass method

The backconnect entry node can also be used in various applications. In such a case, you will need to pass every parameter for your session alongside the username in the username field like this:

user-username-country-country_code

In the example above, username represents your proxy username, which you would need to get from the authentication section. In the password field, you only need to enter the proxy user's password.

More info is available in our User:pass Requests section.

cURL Examples

To use these commands, just replace username and password with your proxy user credentials and run them in your Terminal or Command Prompt.

Get a random IP you've purchased with a rotating session

Get an IP you've purchased from a specific location (in this example, the US) with a static session

curl -U "user-username-country-us:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10001" "https://ip.decodo.com/json"

Get an IP you've purchased from a specific location (in this example, Italy) with a rotating session

curl -U "user-username-country-it:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10000" "https://ip.decodo.com/json"

Get a specific IP you've purchased (in this example, the IP remains unspecified) with a static session

curl -U "user-username-ip-x.x.x.x:password" -x "dc.decodo.com:10001" "https://ip.decodo.com/json"

📘

When using any backconnect parameter, your username is also considered one of the parameters, therefore you need to add user- prefix before specifying your username, just like with all other parameters.
