Quick start
From an API key to your first request through the gateway.
Connection strings
How the proxy username selects the network, location and session.
Errors
Every API error code and every gateway error code.
API reference
Each endpoint with parameters, responses, code samples and a request playground.
How it fits together
| Thing | What it is |
|---|---|
| Credit | Money on your account, in EUR cents. You add it in the dashboard. |
| Data balance | Gigabytes you bought with credit, one balance per network, valid until a date. |
| Proxy user | A username and password for the gateway. Every account has a default one; create more to separate projects and set limits. |
| Proxy string | Host, port, username with targeting, and password: what you paste into your client. |
| API key | Authenticates calls to https://api.boxafox.com/v1. Not used at the gateway. |
