How to generate sticky proxies:

const string = (length) => {
  let result = '';
  const characters = 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890';
  const charactersLength = characters.length;
  for (let i = 0; i < length; i++) {
    result += characters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * charactersLength));
  }
  return result;
};

function proxyGenerationSticky(amount, country, user_id, username, password) {
  proxy = [];
  for (var i = 0; i < parseInt(amount); i++) {
    proxy.push(
      `pmgr-customer-hl_e65c4ff1.brd.superproxy.io:user_id:${user_id}:${username}-country-${country.toLowerCase()}-session-${string(
        15,
      )}:${password}\n`,
    );
  }
  return proxy.join('');
}

Other Optional Features:

Cloud Proxy Manager Initial setup Hosting the Proxy Manager on our Cloud servers with remote server access lets Bright Data host the servers for you.

The Cloud Proxy Manager should be already added automatically to your CParrow-up-right, If you don’t have any servers installed - you should contact your account manager.

Before doing any action in Cloud Proxy Manager, you should add your IP to the admin's whitelist

  • Open the cp/lpmarrow-up-right page

  • Click the open button on the Cloud Proxy Manager row

  • Click on the General settings button

  • In the General settings page, add your IP to the Admin whitelisted IPs

White labeling:

Use this method to brand your proxies with your own domain/company name

To brand the proxies under your domain follow these steps:

  1. Open the DNS configuration for your domain.

  2. Create a C Name Record pointing to the domain.

  3. Whatever you enter in the name/host will decide the domain which points to our API IP.

  4. Thus if your domain is API.comarrow-up-right and you enter the host premium or whatever you want to call it pointing to the PacketStream domain, your proxies will be formatted premium.yourdomain.comarrow-up-right:port:user:pass

  5. An example on Godaddy is linked below:

FAQ

What is Authorization?

This is a header value you provide with every request. We are using the Bearer token so send in the header like this: "Authorization: Bearer <your API token>"

  • Im getting this error: {"message":"username cannot be null or undefined.","timestamp":1634146255996} how do I fix it?

Make sure you have this "Content-Type": "application/json" header present in your requests.
