Quick Start

Using Webshare proxies in C# with HttpClient:

using System.Net;

var proxy = new WebProxy("http://proxy.webshare.io:80")
{
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password")
};

var handler = new HttpClientHandler { Proxy = proxy, UseProxy = true };
using var client = new HttpClient(handler);

var response = await client.GetAsync("https://example.com");
var content = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
Console.WriteLine(content);

Using the rotating proxy endpoint (IP changes every request):

using System.Net;

var proxy = new WebProxy("http://rotating-proxy.webshare.io:80")
{
    Credentials = new NetworkCredential("username", "password")
};

// Each request automatically uses a different IP
var handler = new HttpClientHandler { Proxy = proxy, UseProxy = true };
using var client = new HttpClient(handler);

var response = await client.GetAsync("https://example.com");
