Making Requests

Basic Query

To send a request with Halopro, the essentials are your USERNAME and PASSWORD. By default, each query will use a randomly assigned IP from Halopro's residential proxy pool. Every new request results in a different IP address.

Example Query:

In this example, a request is made to ipinfo.halopro.vip using a random IP:

cURL

curl -x pr.halopro.vip:7777 -U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" ipinfo.halopro.vip
