Set Proxy Location
Dynamically change proxy location with Proxy.setLocation for geo-targeted data collection. Set latitude, longitude, and radius before scraping begins.
The Proxy.setLocation function enables users to dynamically change the location of their proxy to a desired destination within a specified radius. This feature is particularly useful for operations that require geographically specific data or testing of geo-targeted content.
Parameters
Specifies the latitude of the desired proxy location.
Specifies the longitude of the desired proxy location.
Defines the maximum distance from the provided coordinates within which the proxy can be located.
Defines the desired behavior in case no peers are available in the specified distance.
strict: true - our system will search for available peers only within the specific distance.
strict: false - if no peers are available in the specified distance we will automatically expand the distance and look for the nearest available peers.
Usage
The Proxy.setLocation command should be invoked before navigating to the site for which the proxy is intended. This ensures that the proxy location is set accurately according to the specified parameters before any data requests are made.
