Session Types

The session type determines how residential IP addresses are assigned to your requests. We offer two session modes: Rotating Sessions and Sticky Sessions, allowing you to choose how frequently your IP address changes based on your business needs.

Rotating Sessions

A new residential IP address is automatically assigned for each request.

• Key Advantage: High anonymity, helping reduce the risk of rate limiting and IP blocking.
• Use Cases: Large-scale web scraping, search engine results collection, ad verification, and other concurrent tasks that do not require persistent sessions.

Sticky Sessions

Multiple requests will continue to use the same residential IP address for a specified period.

• Key Advantage: Maintains session continuity, making it ideal for tasks involving logins, multi-step form submissions, or shopping cart processes.
• Use Cases: Social media account management, e-commerce price monitoring, and automated tasks that require persistent login sessions.

Configuration Example:

Add -sid-{session_id}-ttl-{duration} to your username to configure a sticky session. The duration is specified in minutes.

Format: username-sid-{session_id}-ttl-{duration}

Example: GURXROr7-sid-Y-ttl-10 (keeps the same IP address for 10 minutes within the session).

Examples:

username-sid-Z-ttl-5:password
username-sid-5Is-ttl-60:password
username-sid-xpDfo9-ttl-120:password
