# Send your first Residential proxy request

> Send your first request through Bright Data Residential proxies with copy-paste code examples in cURL, Python, Node.js, Java, and Go.

To get started, you need your proxy credentials, your `Username` and `Password` along with the `Host` name. You can find these credentials in the **Overview** tab of the proxy product.

## Code Examples

Once you have your proxy credentials, use the following code to send your first request:

<CodeGroup>
  ```sh cURL theme={null}
  curl "http://brdtest.com/myip.json" --proxy brd.superproxy.io:33335 --proxy-user brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  #!/usr/bin/env node

  require('request-promise')({
      url: 'http://brdtest.com/myip.json',
      proxy: 'http://brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>@brd.superproxy.io:33335',
    })
    .then(function (data) {
        console.log(data);
      },
      function (err) {
        console.error(err);
      });
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import pprint
  import requests


  host = 'brd.superproxy.io'
  port = 33335

  username = 'brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>'
  password = '<zone_password>'

  proxy_url = f'http://{username}:{password}@{host}:{port}'

  proxies = {
      'http': proxy_url,
      'https': proxy_url
  }


  url = "http://brdtest.com/myip.json"
  response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies)
  pprint.pprint(response.json())

  ```

  ```php PHP theme={null}

      .'YOURPASS, please contact sales@brightdata.com';

  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXY, 'http://brd.superproxy.io:33335');
  curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_PROXYUSERPWD, 'brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>:<zone_password>');
  curl_exec($curl);
  ?>

  ```

  ```ruby Ruby theme={null}

  proxy = Net::HTTP::Proxy('brd.superproxy.io', 33335, 'brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>', '<zone_password>')

  req = Net::HTTP::Get.new(uri)

  result = proxy.start(uri.host,uri.port, :use_ssl => uri.scheme == 'https') do |http|
      http.request(req)
  end

  puts result.body
  ```

  ```cs C# theme={null}

      client.Proxy.Credentials = new NetworkCredential(
        "brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>",
        "<zone_password>"
      );
      Console.WriteLine(client.DownloadString("http://brdtest.com/myip.json"));
    }
  ```

  ```java Java theme={null}

  }
  ```

  ```

  ```vb VBA theme={null}

              "sales@brightdata.com")
          Dim Client As New WebClient
          Client.Proxy = New WebProxy("http://brd.superproxy.io:33335")
          Client.Proxy.Credentials = New NetworkCredential("brd-customer-<customer_id>-zone-<zone_name>", "<zone_password>")
          Console.WriteLine(Client.DownloadString("http://brdtest.com/myip.json"))
      End Sub
  End Module
  ```
</CodeGroup>

The code above uses the residential proxy to send a request to [http://brdtest.com/myip.json](http://brdtest.com/myip.json). It returns your IP information in a JSON format:

```json Output theme={null}
{
  "ip": "ALLOCATED_IP",
  "country": "PK",
  "asn": {
    "asnum": 203020,
    "org_name": "HostRoyale Technologies Pvt Ltd"
  },
  "geo": {
    "city": "Islamabad",
    "region": "IS",
    "region_name": "Islamabad",
    "postal_code": "44040",
    "latitude": 33.7233,
    "longitude": 73.0435,
    "tz": "Asia/Karachi",
    "lum_city": "islamabad",
    "lum_region": "is"
  }
}
```

Now, replace “[https://brdtest.com/myip.json”](https://brdtest.com/myip.json”) with the website of your choice and ...

**That's it!**
