Send a request

The BackConnect proxy gateway

Nimble has a single proxy gateway that manages sessions for you, freeing you from proxy lists and dynamic IPs. Requests can be authenticated with user:password combinations or by listing your IPs in the allowlist.

See our Backconnect Gateway documentation for all gateway request options.

Sending a request with user:password authentication

Request Example

cURL

curl -x http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName:[email protected]:7000 https://ipinfo.io

Python

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName:[email protected]:7000',
    'https': 'https://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName:[email protected]:7000'
}

url = 'https://ipinfo.io'

response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)

print(response.status_code)
print(response.text)

Node.js

const axios = require('axios');

const targetAddress = "http://ipinfo.io/json";
const getProxy = async () => {
  return {
    proxy: {
      host: "account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName:[email protected]",
      port: 7000
    }
  }
}

const run = async () => {
  const res = await axios(targetAddress, getProxy());
  return res.data;
}


(async () => {
  var response = await run()
  console.log(response);
  console.log("DONE!")
})();

Go

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"io/ioutil"
	"net/http"
	"net/url"
)

func main() {
	proxyURL, err := url.Parse("http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName:[email protected]:7000")

	client := &http.Client{
		Transport: &http.Transport{
			Proxy: http.ProxyURL(proxyURL),

	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {

	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)

	body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(resp.Body)
	if err != nil {

The following parameters are required:

• accountName – Your company gateway name.

• pipelineName – The pipeline you wish to use (every new account comes with a default pipeline named residential for a quick start).

• pipelinePassword – The pipeline’s password to authenticate your request.

• Target page – The URL you’d like to gather data from.

Your account name and pipeline credentials will be provided by your account manager when your account is opened.
