World Region Targeting with ZenRows Residential Proxies
ZenRows Residential Proxies empower you to access and collect data from websites as if you were located in different parts of the world. This is crucial for bypassing regional restrictions, monitoring localized content, and simulating user behavior from specific continents or large areas.
Why Use World Region Targeting?
Many websites tailor their content, pricing, or availability based on the visitor’s region. By targeting a world region, you can:
- Bypass geo-blocks and access region-restricted content
- Gather region-specific data for market research or compliance
- Test how websites behave for users in different parts of the world
- Rotate IPs within a continent for broader coverage and reduced detection risk
How to Set a World Region
ZenRows makes it easy to select a region by appending a region code to your proxy password in the proxy URL. This tells ZenRows to assign your requests to residential IPs from the specified region.
Example: Targeting Europe
Available Region Codes
- Europe:
region-eu - North America:
region-na - Asia Pacific:
region-ap - South America:
region-sa - Africa:
region-af - Middle East:
region-me
Use region targeting for broad coverage or when you want to rotate IPs within a large area. For more precise targeting, see our Country Targeting guide.
Best Practices
- Only one region or country can be set per request. If both are specified, only one will be used.
- Always double-check your proxy password for the correct format.
- Use region targeting for tasks like price comparison, ad verification, or compliance testing across continents.
Troubleshooting
- If you receive an error, verify that the region code is correct and supported.
- Some websites may still apply additional restrictions; consider using sticky sessions or country targeting for more advanced scenarios.
