Sessions | cURL

Learn how to reuse the same proxy for multiple requests with ScraperAPI in cURL using session_number. Great for logins, carts, and browsing emulation.

To reuse the same proxy for multiple requests, simply use the session_number parameter by setting it equal to a unique integer for every session you want to maintain (e.g. session_number=123). This will allow you to continue using the same proxy for each request with that session number. To create a new session simply set the session_number parameter with a new integer to the API. The session value can be any integer. Sessions expire 15 minutes after the last usage.
