# Geotargeting

Certain websites (typically **e-commerce** platforms and search engines) return different content based on the geolocation of the IP used to make the request to the website. In such cases, you can geotarget your requests by instructing the API to route traffic through proxies from the required country.

To control the geolocation of the IP used for a request, set the `country_code` parameter to the desired country, and the API will automatically route the request through an IP from that location.

**For example:** to ensure your requests come from the United States, set the `country_code` parameter to `country_code=us`.
