# Talordata Proxies & WebScraping.AI Setup Guide

WebScraping.ai provides a web scraping API service. You can add proxy parameters to route your scraping requests through your proxy IP. Follow the steps below to complete the proxy setup.

Before configuring the proxy, you need to obtain proxies credentials. [Click here](/proxy/rotating-residential-proxies/rotating-residential-proxies-quick-start.md) to learn how to obtain proxies credentials.

#### **Obtain WebScraping.ai API Key**

1. Visit the [WebScraping.ai](https://webscraping.ai/) official website to register or log in to your account.
2. Find your API key in the control panel.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Build an API Request with Proxies**

The WebScraping.ai API supports specifying a proxy via the `custom_proxy` parameter. The request format is as follows:

```http
curl "https://api.webscraping.ai/html?url=https://target-website.com&api_key=YOUR_API_KEY&custom_proxy=protocol://username:password@host:port"
```

<details>

<summary><strong>Parameter Description</strong></summary>

* <mark style="color:blue;">`url`</mark>: The address of the target website to scrape.
* <mark style="color:blue;">`api_key`</mark>: The API key you obtained in Step 1.
* <mark style="color:blue;">`custom_proxy`</mark>: Your proxy information, formatted as <mark style="color:blue;">`protocol://username:password@host:port`</mark>

</details>
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### **Verify the Proxy**

Enter your real credentials into the command constructed in step 2. After executing the command, WebScraping.ai will return the crawled page content. Since the target URL is ipinfo.io/json, the returned JSON data should contain IP information.
