How to switch from API to Proxy Manager

Why should I care?
Using the Proxy Manager offers advanced features that are not readily available in the API. Instead of having to manually code mechanisms for tasks like keeping an IP as long as possible or rotating your IP after each request, you can simply click a button in the Proxy Manager.

Guidelines to to switch from API to Proxy Manager:

  1. Install the Proxy Manager here
  2. Change the code to send HTTP requests directly to the specified port (for example, 127.0.0.1:24000) instead of to brd.superproxy.io:22225
  3. Configure the settings for your custom proxies and Zones through the Proxy Manager dashboard. You do not need to send the user parameter (brd-customer-customer_name-zone-zone_name…) alongside your requests, as all the needed data is wrapped within the manual proxy configuration.
