Usage Statistics

Residential proxy traffic usage details can be found on your dashboard statistics page. Simply navigate to the Residential proxy page via the dashboard left panel and click on the Usage statistics section.

📘

If you're interesting in learning how traffic is counted, head over to Traffic usage.

Statistics data line graph

You will see a line graph, which displays your total Traffic or Requests sent with the proxies.

📘

Usage data is updated every 10 to 15 minutes. Statistics are provided in the UTC time zone.

• In the Traffic line graph, the vertical axis shows the used traffic in MB and/or GB, whereas the horizontal axis shows the time you grouped by.
• You can hover over the data points in the line graph to see detailed usage for the selected time.

• In the Requests line graph, the vertical axis shows the count of requests sent with the proxies, whereas the horizontal axis shows the time you grouped by.
• You can hover over the data points in the line graph to see detailed usage for the selected time.

1. You can choose to sort the data by Location, proxy User, Target, Protocol.
2. You can also group the data by hour, day, week, or month.

📘

Traffic history is limited to a maximum of 180 days.

Statistics data table

Below the line graph, you can view the data table that summarizes the traffic used with the proxies.

1. You can find the Date, Traffic Usage, Download, and Upload traffic in MB or GB. The next two columns describe the number of Requests and Spend. Spend is the cost in USD that's equivalent to the traffic used.
2. You can export the table's data directly or export the raw data in the following file formats: .CSV, .TXT, or .JSON. You can also copy the data to your clipboard.

Below are three additional data tables: Top targets, Top countries, and Top users.

Top targets

In the Top targets table, you can see the target domains, which you have accessed with the proxies, sorted by total traffic consumption in descending order.

1. You can find the No., Target, Traffic, Requests, and Spend columns as well.

2. To view the full target list, click on the All targets list button located at the top right corner of the table.

   • There, you can search the entire list by keywords.

   

3. You can export the table's data directly or export the raw data in the following file formats: .CSV, .TXT, or .JSON. You can also copy the data to your clipboard.

Top countries

In the Top countries table, you can see the countries you have targeted with the proxies, sorted by total traffic consumption in descending order.

1. You can find the Country, Traffic, Requests, and Spend columns as well.

2. To view the full target list, click on the All countries list button located at the top right corner of the table.

   • There, you can search the entire list by keywords.

   

3. You can export the table's data directly or export the raw data in the following file formats: .CSV, .TXT, or .JSON. You can also copy the data to your clipboard.

🚧

At the moment, statistics data based on other proxy parameters, such as the city, US state, ASN, and ZIP code is not available with Residential proxies.

Top users

In the Top users table, you can see the used traffic of your proxy users and whitelisted IPs, sorted from highest to lowest.

📘

The proxy traffic generated when authenticating via the whitelisted IP method is aggregated. That means sorting used traffic by different whitelisted IPs is not possible.

1. You can find the User, Traffic, Requests, and Spend columns as well.

2. To view the full target list, click on the All users list button located at the top right corner of the table.

   • There, you can search the entire list by keywords.

   

3. You can export the table's data directly or export the raw data in the following file formats: .CSV, .TXT, or .JSON. You can also copy the data to your clipboard.

API

You can also retrieve the proxy traffic and usage details for free via the API.

Get traffic

The following POST endpoint will allow you to receive used traffic information:

https://api.decodo.com/api/v2/statistics/traffic

You can adjust the request parameters based on the traffic you desire to receive. To find the list of all request parameters, head over to the Get traffic API documentation page.

In the linked API documentation page, there are also request examples in various programming languages. To add, you can test the request by entering your API key in the Authorization field to the right after adjusting the Body Params section.

Here is an example of a cURL request via the Get traffic endpoint. If you wish to try the request, make sure to replace <your_authorization_API_key> in line 3.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://api.decodo.com/api/v2/statistics/traffic \
     --header 'Authorization: <your_authorization_API_key>' \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --data '

  "groupBy": "day",
  "limit": 500,
  "page": 1,
  "sortBy": "grouping_key",
  "sortOrder": "asc"
}

Unrecognized Usage in Statistics

Unfamiliar Target Websites

If you see an unfamiliar target on your statistics page, keep in mind that it may be a subdomain of the websites you are targeting. This means the target website uses subdomains to organize separate sections of content or services. The dashboard tracks these subdomains as well.

Unexpected Traffic Consumption

• If you notice a higher traffic usage with the proxies, note that the traffic may have been consumed by applications running and updating in the background while you're using the proxies.
• Additionally, target websites could have changed and introduced new content, which would impact the proxy traffic.
• Generally, it's advised to generate a new password for your proxy users periodically.
• Don't forget to turn off the tool or program you are using to run the proxies after you're done using them.

Look at High traffic usage for a more detailed understanding of traffic discrepancies.
