Route your tool
through one gateway.
Every guide points a different runtime at the same endpoint, gw.databay.co:8888. Pick the tool you use and copy a setup that keeps country, session and browser identity aligned.
HTTP proxying, HTTPS CONNECT, and SOCKS5. No SDK to install.
Choose the guide that matches your runtime
Each runtime attaches proxy settings in a different place. Every guide below maps the tool's native controls to the same gateway, then keeps pool, country and session aligned.
Browser automation
Configure the browser process or an isolated context before the first navigation.

Multi-profile browser
Keep the saved proxy route attached to the authorized profile that uses it.

Crawler framework
Put proxy selection and retry behavior at the crawler downloader boundary.
1guideCommand-line client
Inspect authentication, tunnel and destination behavior one hop at a time.
1guideHTTP client library
Keep application requests, sessions and proxy-agent policy explicit.

The tool changes. The gateway grammar does not.
Every guide resolves to the same three decisions: where traffic enters, which pool and geography it should use, and whether the exit must stay attached to an identity.
- One endpoint for HTTP proxying, HTTPS CONNECT, and SOCKS5
- Pool and geography selected in the username
- Requested sticky window up to 120 minutes; continuity can end early
- Country targeting on supported products, with no targeting surcharge
gw.databay.co:8888One host and port for HTTP proxying, HTTPS CONNECT, and SOCKS5.

curl --proxy http://gw.databay.co:8888 https://httpbin.org/ipCheck the exit from the same runtime that will run the job.
Automate the setup around the runtime
Use the REST API to provision proxy users, manage IP whitelists, read bandwidth and query locations. Your browser or crawler still connects over the same gateway.
- Create, update and delete proxy users
- Monitor bandwidth usage and traffic logs
- Manage IP whitelists for static workers
- Request one country, city, or ASN constraint at a time on Premium Residential
