API Documentation - ISP proxy network
Our API documentation below describes how to use Bright Data's API commands and optional flags used for automating and controlling single or recurrent actions executed in regard to your ISP proxy zone.
Bright Data's API supports various programming languages, such as shell, Node.js, Java, C#, VB, PHP, Python, Ruby, Perl, etc.
Authentication methods
When you send a request, using your Mobile proxy you'll need to use your zone credentials as an authentication method (<CUSTOMER_ID> and <ZONE_PASSWORD>).
When you send an account management request, you'll need to use an API token as your authentication method.
