# Getting started

## HProxy Documentation

*Two APIs from HProxy: a free, no-key proxy list API you can call right now, and the Scrapers API — 117 endpoints across 23+ platforms returning clean, structured JSON.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs

Two APIs. A **free, no-key proxy list API** you can call right now, and the **Scrapers API** — 117 endpoints across 23+ platforms. Clean JSON, predictable shapes, no parsers to maintain.

- [Quickstart](https://hproxy.com/docs/quickstart) — Three steps to your first scraper call.
- [Authentication](https://hproxy.com/docs/authentication) — Get an API key and pass it on every request.
- [Playground](https://hproxy.com/docs/playground) — Pick an endpoint, hit Run, see a real response.
- [Free proxy list API](https://hproxy.com/docs/free-proxy-api) — A free, no-auth proxy list as JSON, CSV or text.
- [Proxy checker API](https://hproxy.com/docs/proxy-checker-api) — Test if a proxy is alive, fast and free.
- [Endpoint reference](https://hproxy.com/docs/endpoints) — Every endpoint across every platform.

### What you get

The **Scrapers API** turns any supported page into structured data with one REST call — you send a small JSON body, you get parsed JSON back in a predictable envelope, plus the exact cost of the call. No headless browsers, no proxies to rotate, no selectors to maintain when a site changes its markup.

The **free tools** — the [proxy list API](https://hproxy.com/docs/free-proxy-api) and the [proxy checker API](https://hproxy.com/docs/proxy-checker-api) — need no key and no signup. Call them straight from a browser, a script, or CI.

> [!TIP] **Built for AI** — Using an AI assistant? Grab the entire documentation as one markdown page at [/llms-full.txt](https://hproxy.com/llms-full.txt), or hit **Copy for AI** in the top bar, and paste it into Claude.

## Quickstart

*Three steps to your first Scrapers API call: get a key, call an endpoint, get clean JSON.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/quickstart

Three steps to your first call.

1. **Get a key** — Generate one in your [dashboard](https://hproxy.com/dashboard/scrapers). Keys look like `hpx_…` and authenticate every request.
2. **Call an endpoint** — `POST` to `/v1/scrape/{platform}/{action}` with a small JSON body. `GET` with query params works too.
3. **Get clean JSON** — Parsed, structured data in a predictable envelope. Plus the run id and the exact cost of the call.

### Your first call

Here's a complete example against the Instagram Profile endpoint — cURL, Node.js and Python:

**cURL**

```bash
curl https://hproxy.com/v1/scrape/instagram/profile \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HPROXY_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"handle":"levelsio"}'
```

**Node.js**

```js
const res = await fetch("https://hproxy.com/v1/scrape/instagram/profile", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.HPROXY_KEY}`,
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    "handle": "levelsio"
  }),
});
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data);
```

**Python**

```python
import os, requests

res = requests.post(
    "https://hproxy.com/v1/scrape/instagram/profile",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['HPROXY_KEY']}"},
    json={"handle":"levelsio"},
)
print(res.json()["data"])
```

**Response**

```json

> [!NOTE] Failed scrapes (a 4xx/5xx from the source site) are **never billed**. You only pay for a successful, parsed result. Minimum $0.01 per call.

- [Authentication](https://hproxy.com/docs/authentication) — How to pass your key and keep it safe.
- [The response envelope](https://hproxy.com/docs/response-envelope) — The shape every successful call returns.

## Authentication

*Every Scrapers API request authenticates with an API key. Send it as X-API-Key or Authorization: Bearer.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/authentication

Every request authenticates with an API key. Generate one in your [dashboard](https://hproxy.com/dashboard/scrapers). Keys look like `hpx_…`.

Send it as either header — both are accepted, same as Stripe / OpenAI:

```http
X-API-Key: hpx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

# or

Authorization: Bearer hpx_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
```

> [!WARNING] **Keep your keys secret** — Keep keys server-side. Never ship them in client code. Lost a key? Revoke it and create a new one in [Settings → API Keys](https://hproxy.com/dashboard/settings/api-keys).

# Scrapers API

## Playground

*Pick an endpoint and hit Run to see a real response shape. Uses sample data — it won't touch your balance.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/playground

Pick an endpoint and hit **Run** to see a real response shape. This demo uses sample data, so it won't touch your balance.

An interactive playground is available at https://hproxy.com/docs/playground — pick an endpoint and run it against sample data (no balance used).

## The response envelope

*Every successful Scrapers API call returns the same top-level shape: scraped data under `data`, plus metadata about the call.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/response-envelope

Every successful call returns the same top-level shape. The scraped data lives under `data`; everything else is metadata about the call.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `platform` | `string` | The platform you called (e.g. instagram). |
| `scraper` | `string` | The endpoint id that ran. |
| `input` | `object` | The parameters you sent, echoed back. |
| `data` | `object` | The scraped result. Clean, structured JSON. |
| `records` | `number` | How many records the response contains. |
| `costUsd` | `number` | What this call cost, in USD (min $0.01). |
| `requestId` | `string` | Run id. Reference it in support / the dashboard. |
| `elapsedMs` | `number` | How long the call took upstream. |

## Status codes

*Standard HTTP semantics for the Scrapers API. Failed scrapes (4xx/5xx from the source) are never billed.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/status-codes

Standard HTTP semantics. Failed scrapes (4xx/5xx from the source) are **never billed**.

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `200` | Success. Data in the envelope. |
| `400` | Invalid input. Check the parameters. |
| `401` | Missing or invalid API key. |
| `402` | Insufficient balance. Top up your wallet. |
| `404` | Unknown endpoint. |
| `429` | Rate limited. Back off and retry (Retry-After header). |
| `502` | Upstream error. Retry shortly. Not billed. |

### Good to know

> [!NOTE] **Idempotency:** send an `X-Request-Id` header and retries return the original result without re-charging.

> [!NOTE] **Pay per success:** one call, one charge. Never multiplied by record count. Minimum $0.01 per call.

> [!NOTE] **Auth:** send `X-API-Key` or `Authorization: Bearer`. Both work.

## Every endpoint

*All 117 scrapers across 23+ platforms. Search by platform, name, or path.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/endpoints

All 117 scrapers across 23+ platforms. Search by platform or name.

# Free tools

## Free proxy list API

*A free, no-auth endpoint returning HProxy's continuously-verified public proxy list as JSON, CSV or text, filterable by country, protocol and anonymity.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/free-proxy-api

A free, no-auth endpoint that returns our continuously-verified public proxy list as JSON, CSV or plain text. Filter by country, protocol and anonymity. CORS-enabled, so you can call it straight from a browser too.

**Live SOCKS5 proxies in the US, as JSON**

```bash
curl "https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-list?format=json&country=US&protocol=socks5"
```

**Response · array of proxies**

```json
[
  {
    "ip": "203.0.113.7",
    "port": 1080,
    "protocols": ["socks4", "socks5"],
    "country_code": "US",
    "city": "New York",
    "anonymity": "elite",
    "latency_ms": 142,
    "uptime_pct": 71.4,
    "status": "alive",
    "last_alive_at": "2026-06-17T00:00:00Z"
  }
]
```

### Query parameters

All optional, combine them freely. Base URL: `https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-list`.

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `format` | `txt | json | csv` | Output format. Default txt (ip:port per line). |
| `country` | `ISO code` | Only proxies exiting this country, e.g. US, DE, GB. |
| `protocol` | `http | https | socks4 | socks5` | Only this protocol. Comma-separate for several. |
| `anonymity` | `elite | anonymous | transparent` | Only this anonymity grade. |
| `limit` | `1 - 10000` | Maximum proxies to return. Default 10000. |
| `recent` | `true` | Include proxies alive within the last 72h, not only live right now. |

### Good to know

> [!NOTE] **No key, no signup.** Free and unauthenticated, but rate limited to roughly 60 requests per minute per IP (a clean `429` with a `Retry-After` header if you exceed it). Responses are cached ~60s, so you rarely need to poll fast.

> [!NOTE] **Three formats.** `txt` (ip:port lines), `json` (array), `csv`. An `X-Total-Count` header gives the row count.

> [!NOTE] **Also on GitHub.** Static hourly snapshots (txt/json/csv, by country) at [github.com/hproxy-com/free-proxy-list](https://github.com/hproxy-com/free-proxy-list).

> [!TIP] **Need proxies that don't die?** — Free proxies are shared and unstable. HProxy residential, ISP and mobile proxies stay up, from $0.99/GB. [See plans →](https://hproxy.com/residential)

## Proxy checker API

*Check whether a proxy is alive and get its latency, protocols, anonymity and location. Free, no key. Each request runs a real live test.*

URL: https://hproxy.com/docs/proxy-checker-api

Check whether a proxy is alive and get its latency, protocols, anonymity and location. Free, no key. Each request runs a real live test against the proxy, so it is rate limited more tightly than the list.

**Check one proxy**

```bash
curl "https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-check?proxy=1.2.3.4:8080"
```

**Response**

```json
{
  "input": "1.2.3.4:8080",
  "ip": "1.2.3.4",
  "port": 8080,
  "alive": true,
  "protocols": ["http"],
  "anonymity": "elite",
  "latency_ms": 184,
  "country_code": "US",
  "city": "New York",
  "asn_org": "Example ISP",
  "error": null
}
```

### Check several at once

POST up to 25 proxies. The response is `{ "count": n, "results": [ ... ] }` with the same per-proxy shape.

```bash
curl -X POST https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-check \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"proxies": ["1.2.3.4:8080", "5.6.7.8:1080"]}'
```

### Good to know

> [!NOTE] **No key.** Rate limited to ~12 requests/min per IP, up to 25 proxies per POST. Over that returns a `429` with `Retry-After`.

> [!NOTE] **Real live test.** Each proxy is actually connected to, so a dead one can take a few seconds to report.

> [!NOTE] **Your proxies stay yours.** The checker tests the proxies you paste and returns the results. They are never saved or added to our [free list](https://hproxy.com/free-proxy-list).
