Premium Proxies (Proxy IP)

​

Premium Proxies

Some websites implement strict anti-scraping measures that block standard datacenter IPs, making it difficult to extract content. Premium Proxies provide a reliable solution by using residential IPs sourced directly from Internet Service Providers (ISPs), which are much harder for sites to detect and block.

To use Premium Proxies with ZenRows®, simply add the parameter premium_proxy=true to your request. This will ensure that a residential IP is used, significantly increasing the chances of successful scraping, especially on websites with robust security.

​

Geolocation

Sometimes, the content you’re trying to scrape is region-restricted, meaning it’s only available in specific countries or regions. Geolocation allows you to choose the country from which the request is made, giving you access to geo-restricted content. ZenRows supports over 190+ countries, providing broad global coverage.

To enable geolocation, add the parameter proxy_country with the country code of your choice (e.g., proxy_country=es for Spain) along with premium_proxy=true. Geolocation requires Premium Proxies to be enabled, as datacenter IPs cannot be geolocated with accuracy.

By using the proxy_country parameter, ZenRows® will route your request through a residential proxy in the specified country, helping you access region-specific content seamlessly.
