Proxy Geolocation

Ever wonder how websites seem to know exactly where you are, serving up content tailored to your location? That’s geotargeting in action, and it can make scraping accurate, localized data a real challenge. With Rayobyte’s Scraping API, though, you’re in control. Our geolocation proxy functionality lets you make requests from over 100 countries, ensuring you see content just as a local user would. 🗺️

Why Proxy Geolocation Matters

Some websites—especially search engines and e-commerce platforms—serve different data depending on the user’s location. Want to compare product prices in Germany vs. the US? Or analyze search engine results pages (SERPs) in Japan? Geotargeting makes it possible, ensuring your scraping requests look like they’re coming from a user in the target region.

Example Use Cases

• E-commerce price comparison: See if an online retailer charges different prices across countries.

• Localized SEO research: Analyze SERPs in different regions.

• Regional content analysis: Understand how news or media platforms customize content for various audiences.

Using Proxy Geolocation with Rayobyte

Our API simplifies the process. To specify the proxy’s geolocation, add the &proxyCountry= parameter to your request, followed by the desired country code.

Example Requests:

To scrape from Germany, use the country code DE:

cURL

curl 'https://api.scraping.rayobyte.com/?token=<API-KEY>&proxyCountry=DE&url=https://tools-api.rayobyte.com/free-ip-lookup/1.2.3.4'

JavaScript

const axios = require('axios');

// Define the API URL and parameters
const url = 'https://api.scraping.rayobyte.com/';
const params = {
    token: '<API-KEY>',
    proxyCountry: 'DE',
    url: 'https://tools-api.rayobyte.com/free-ip-lookup/1.2.3.4'
};

// Make the GET request
axios.get(url, { params })
    .then(response => {
        console.log("Response:", response.data);
    })
    .catch(error => {
        if (error.response) {
            console.error(`Error: ${error.response.status} - ${error.response.data}`);
        } else {
            console.error(`Error: ${error.message}`);
        }
    });

GET/HTTP

https://api.scraping.rayobyte.com/?token=<API-KEY>&proxyCountry=DE&url=https://tools-api.rayobyte.com/free-ip-lookup/1.2.3.4

Python

import requests

# Define the API URL and token
url = "https://api.scraping.rayobyte.com/balance"
params = {
    "token": "<API-KEY>"
}

try:
    # Make the GET request
    response = requests.get(url, params=params)
    response.raise_for_status()  # Raise HTTPError for bad responses (4xx and 5xx)
    print("Response:", response.json())
except requests.exceptions.HTTPError as http_err:
    print(f"HTTP error occurred: {http_err} - {response.text}")
except requests.exceptions.RequestException as err:
    print(f"Error occurred: {err}")

It’s that easy! 🌟 The API automatically assigns a proxy from the specified country, so you get the data you need, no matter where the site thinks you’re “from.”
