Send your first request

Send your first Bright Data Web Unlocker API (98% success rate) request. Walk through authentication, setup and a cURL example that returns unblocked HTML.

Here’s an example of the most simple Web Unlocker API request using cURL that returns a JSON:

curl "https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:44445 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>

You can find your API credentials including Username (Customer_ID), Zone name, and Password, within your proxy zone’s ‘Overview’ tab.

brd.superproxy.io	Address of our load balancer that will find the fastest Super Proxy for your request
44445	Infrastructure port of our Super Proxies that is used to receive your requests
-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>	Username authentication. In its most basic form, it defines your username and what zone you will use for your request.
<zone_password>	Zone password. All zones have passwords that are used for authentication
https://geo.brdtest.com/welcome.txt	Replace with your target domain. This is a test URL pointing to a Bright Data test server.

For an in-depth interactive display of all the API use cases, integrations, and preferences, please see our API examples page.
