Country/state/city geotargeting

Targeting by Country

Add a –country– value to the username portion of the request string to target a specific country:

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

import requests

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

url = 'https://ipinfo.io'

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

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

const axios = require('axios');

const targetAddress = "http://ipinfo.io/json";
const getProxy = async () => {
  return {
    proxy: {
      host: "account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US:[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!")
})();

package main

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

func main() {
	proxyURL, err := url.Parse("http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US:[email protected]:7000")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

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

	url := "https://ipinfo.io"

	req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)

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

	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Use ISO country codes to identify your target country, e.g. US, DE, BR (see the full list of ISO 3166 alpha-2 country codes). If no country parameter is specified, the target country will be randomized per each request.

If no peers are available in a supported country/state/city, Nimble IP will return a 525 response. For more information, see Nimble IP's Response Codes.

Targeting by US state

To target a US state, add a -state- value to the username:

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

import requests

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

url = 'https://ipinfo.io'

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

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

const axios = require('axios');

const targetAddress = "http://ipinfo.io/json";
const getProxy = async () => {
  return {
    proxy: {
      host: "account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS:[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!")
})();

package main

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

func main() {
	proxyURL, err := url.Parse("http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS:[email protected]:7000")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

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

	url := "https://ipinfo.io"

	req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)

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

	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

Targeting a state is only available when the country parameter is set to US.

Targeting by city

To target a city, add a -city- value to the username:

curl -x http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS-city-wichita:[email protected]:7000 https://ipinfo.io

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS-city-wichita:[email protected]:7000',
    'https': 'https://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS-city-wichita:[email protected]:7000'
}

url = 'https://ipinfo.io'

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

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

const axios = require('axios');

const targetAddress = "http://ipinfo.io/json";
const getProxy = async () => {
  return {
    proxy: {
      host: "account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS-city-wichita:[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!")
})();

package main

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

func main() {
	proxyURL, err := url.Parse("http://account-accountName-pipeline-pipelineName-country-US-state-KS-city-wichita:[email protected]:7000")
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

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

	url := "https://ipinfo.io"

	req, err := http.NewRequest("GET", url, nil)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}

	resp, err := client.Do(req)
	if err != nil {
		fmt.Println(err)
		return
	}
	defer resp.Body.Close()

	fmt.Println(resp.StatusCode)

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

	fmt.Println(string(body))
}

You can retrieve a comprehensive list of supported countries, states, and cities by using the /location/cities endpoint of the Admin API.

Targeting geolocations with Authenticated IPs

When using an Authenticated IP, your geolocation targeting settings are defined only in the target pipeline's configuration. When defining/modifying a pipeline, you can choose a target location country, and states/cities will be displayed if they are available for the selected location.

You can create/modify your pipelines in one of two ways:

Using the Nimble IP page in the Nimble User Dashboard
Using the /account/pipelines endpoint of the Admin API.
