:information_source: More information about Ephemeral Proxies API can be found here

Example:

$ npm install -s ephemeral-proxies

main.js:

const ep = require('ephemeral-proxies');

(async function main() {
    try {
        let proxy = await ep.getProxy(ep.ProxyType.datacenter)
        console.log(proxy)
    } catch (e) {
        console.warn(e)
    }
})()

The Rapid API key can be set by EP_RAPIDAPI_KEY environment variable.

$ EP_RAPIDAPI_KEY=YOUR_API_KEY_HERE node main.js

  proxyType is required. Set to ep.ProxyType.datacenter or ep.ProxyType.residential to select the proxy type.

  countries argument is optional. A string array of country codes, that you would like the proxies to be located. If null or empty, country will be randomly selected.

  whitelistIp argument is optional. The proxy will allow connections from the source ip that is making this API call. Additionally, you can allow an extra ip to connect to the proxy by using whitelistIp argument.

  rapidApiKey argument is optional. If null or unset, EP_RAPIDAPI_KEY environment variable is required.
