➡️ ZIP and Postal Code Targeting Overview

ZIP or postal code targeting allows you to request a Residential Proxy exit IP associated with a particular postal area.

This advanced feature currently requires you to manually add a parameter to your proxy password.

ZIP and postal code targeting will be added to the Residential Proxy Dashboard after the dashboard migration to the new architecture is completed.

➡️ Configuration Format

Append -zip-POSTALCODE to your Residential Proxy password.

Example:

USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-US-zip-43212@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

The ZIP code shown above is an example and does not guarantee that matching inventory will always be available.

➡️ Test with cURL

curl -x "http://USERNAME:PASSWORD-country-US-zip-43212@la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000" https://ipinfo.io/json

Replace USERNAME and PASSWORD with your own Residential Proxy credentials.

➡️ Availability

ZIP or postal code targeting can be significantly more restrictive than country, region, or city targeting.

Availability depends on whether a residential device within the requested postal area is currently connected to the Rayobyte network.

If the request does not connect:

  1. Retry the request after a short delay.
  2. Remove the ZIP or postal code parameter.
  3. Try region, city, or country targeting instead.
