Start with free trial proxies and integrate PXYEDGE's API-controlled rotating residential IP pool into your automation stack — 80M+ IPs, 195+ countries, 99.9% uptime, and millisecond latency.

Why API-Controlled Rotating Proxies Matter for Developers

For engineering teams building large-scale scraping, monitoring, or automation systems, proxy infrastructure must be programmable, reliable, and flexible. Free trial proxies allow developers to test API integration, rotation strategies, and geographic targeting before committing to production volumes.

PXYEDGE's rotating residential proxies are designed for API-first automation, featuring an 80M+ IP pool across 195+ countries with 99.9% uptime and millisecond response[reference:25]. The REST API enables programmatic control over location, session, and rotation behaviour[

Core Technical Capabilities

  • Automatic IP rotation – per request or custom strategy
  • City/State/Country targeting – precise geo-control
  • Sticky sessions – consistent IP for multi-step workflows
  • IP whitelisting – access from authorized IPs
  • Unlimited concurrency – scale without rigid caps
  • HTTP(S) & SOCKS5 – multi-protocol support

API-Controlled Rotation: How It Works

The PXYEDGE proxy gateway handles request routing through residential networks with configurable rotation behaviour:

  1. Request Submission: Send requests through the PXYEDGE proxy gateway with authentication and optional location parameters.
  2. IP Rotation: An available residential IP is assigned based on your rotation strategy — per request, per session, or by time interval.
  3. Request Routing: Traffic is routed through the selected residential network.
  4. Response Delivery: Target data is returned to your system in real time.

Geographic Targeting – Country, State & City Level

PXYEDGE supports three levels of geographic precision:

  • Country-level: Add a region flag to the authorization header (e.g., region-us, region-br, region-in, region-gb).
  • State-level: Target specific states within a country (e.g., region-us-st-ca for California, region-us-st-ny for New York).
  • City-level: Specify a city for precise localised access.

If the local IP pool is unavailable, traffic may be routed through a nearby available region.

Session Control for Multi-Step Automation

By default, generated sessions are valid for a period of time and support multiple requests. Reusing the same session helps keep one IP during multi-step automation — essential for login flows, checkout processes, and account-based workflows.

The same session value can be reused until the session expires or is actively released.

IP Whitelisting for Simplified Access

IP whitelisting allows you to access the residential proxy pool simply by connecting from an authorized IP, without username/password authentication[reference:48]. Configure whitelist access in the dashboard:

  1. Access the dashboard and open Account Settings.
  2. Add the IP address of your proxy client or server.
  3. Wait for synchronization and then test the proxy request.

  "data": {
    "whitelist": ["203.0.113.10"]
  }
}[reference:52]
