Find your proxy credentials

Everything you need to authenticate lives in app.rayobyte.com.

  1. Sign in and pick your product from the sidebar — Residential Proxies, Web Unblocker, Rotating ISP or Rotating DC.

  2. Open Proxy Access. The Proxy Parameters card holds four values:

    Field Example Notes
    Username user12345 Your master proxy user
    Password s0mesecret Targeting options are appended to this
    Host la.residential.rayobyte.com The gateway hostname
    Port 8000
  3. Use them as a standard HTTP proxy: USERNAME:PASSWORD@HOST:PORT.

The Sessions panel lets you swap the gateway hostname for a direct IP. Use the hostname unless you have a specific reason not to — it lets us move capacity without you changing anything. Direct IPs are useful when your environment cannot resolve DNS, or when you want to pin traffic to one gateway.

Rather than sending credentials, you can whitelist the IP addresses your traffic comes from. Requests from those addresses are then accepted with no username or password at all, and targeting moves into X-Rayobyte-* proxy headers.

Set it up in Proxy Access → IP Authorization.

Terminal window
curl --proxy-header "X-Rayobyte-Country: US" https://rayobyte.com/ \
-x la.residential.rayobyte.com:8000

The Scraping API uses a single token instead of proxy credentials. Find it under Scraping API → Get Started → API Token. One is generated for you automatically the first time you open that page.

Each sub-account has its own username and password. Find them under Proxy Access → Sub-accounts, then open the sub-account.
