Free proxy list API

A free, no-auth endpoint that returns our continuously-verified public proxy list as JSON, CSV or plain text. Filter by country, protocol and anonymity. CORS-enabled, so you can call it straight from a browser too.

Query parameters

All optional, combine them freely. Base URL: https://hproxy.com/api/proxy-list.

Good to know

No key, no signup. Free and unauthenticated, but rate limited to roughly 60 requests per minute per IP (a clean 429 with a Retry-After header if you exceed it). Responses are cached ~60s, so you rarely need to poll fast.

Three formats. txt (ip:port lines), json (array), csv. An X-Total-Count header gives the row count.

Also on GitHub. Static snapshots refreshed every few minutes (txt/json/csv, by country) at github.com/hproxy-com/free-proxy-list.

Need proxies that don't die?

Free proxies are shared and unstable. HProxy residential, ISP and mobile proxies stay up, from $0.99/GB. See plans →
