ZenRows Residential Proxies allow you to target specific countries for your web scraping operations, providing even more precise geo-targeting than region-level settings. This is invaluable for accessing country-restricted content, conducting localized research, or verifying ads and offers as they appear to users in a particular country.

Why Use Country Targeting?

Country-level targeting is ideal for:
  • Accessing country-restricted content and services
  • Monitoring localized pricing, ads, or search results
  • Testing website localization and legal compliance
  • Ad verification and fraud prevention

How to Set a Country

To target a country, append the country code to your proxy password in the proxy URL. You cannot set both a region and a country at the same time.

Example: Targeting Spain

http://<YOUR_USERNAME>:<YOUR_PASSWORD>_country-es@superproxy.zenrows.com:1337
res_proxy_country
For a complete list of supported countries and their codes, see our Premium Proxy Countries List.
Note: If you specify both a region and a country, only one will be used. Always double-check your proxy password for the correct format.

Best Practices

  • Use country targeting for highly localized research, price comparison, or compliance checks.
  • Make sure to use the correct country code to avoid errors.
  • Rotating proxies within a country can help reduce detection and blocking.

Troubleshooting

  • If you get an error, ensure the country code is supported and correctly formatted.
  • Some countries may have limited proxy pools; if you encounter access issues, try a broader region.
