Oxylabs geo parameters: exact username formats that actually stick
If your Oxylabs geo-targeted scrape exits from the wrong country or city, check the parameter format first. Country: customer-USER-cc-US. City: lowercase with underscores, always with the country: customer-USER-cc-US-city-new_york. State: customer-USER-st-us_california. ZIP: customer-USER-cc-US-postalcode-90012 (US only, must include -cc-US). ASN: customer-USER-ASN-21928-sessid-abc123, and note it is KYC-gated and cannot be combined with -cc. For coordinate targeting, do not put it in the username at all: send the X-Oxylabs-Geolocation header as LAT:LON;RADIUS_MI with a minimum radius of 10 miles, and expect a 502 if no exit IP exists in that range.
Context: Official docs (Oxylabs help center, proxy country coverage): documents geo-targeting parameter formats that trip agents with silent wrong-location exits. Country is -cc- with an ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (customer-USER-cc-DE). US city is lowercase English with underscores (customer-USER-cc-US-city-los_angeles). US state needs a us_ prefix (customer-USER-st-us_california). ZIP targeting is US-only, five digits, and must pair with -cc-US. ASN targeting is KYC-gated, must pair with sessid, and is mutually exclusive with -cc.Maintainer review
