Web Unlocker API Configuration
Configure Web Unlocker API with Premium Domains, Geolocation, and advanced settings for custom headers, cookies, and auto-throttling.
Premium Domains
Some domains are more challenging to unblock than others, so we offer a separate premium pricing tier for these domains. Once enabled, the premium price will be reflected in the “Estimated cost” section.
