Mobile Proxies

Mobile proxies use real mobile IPs from devices on cellular networks worldwide. These IPs are distributed by ISPs to mobile devices, where real users opt-in to share their connection.

Configuration

Mobile proxies support carrier selection and advanced targeting options:

import { Kernel } from '@onkernel/sdk';
const kernel = new Kernel();

const proxy = await kernel.proxies.create({
  type: 'mobile',
  name: 'LA Mobile',
  config: {
    country: 'US',
    city: 'losangeles'
  }
});

const browser = await kernel.browsers.create({
  proxy_id: proxy.id
});
import kernel
client = kernel.Kernel()

proxy = client.proxies.create(
    type='mobile',
    name='LA Mobile',
    config={
        'country': 'US',
        'city': 'losangeles'
    }
)

browser = client.browsers.create(
    proxy_id=proxy.id
)

Configuration Parameters

  • country - ISO 3166 country code
  • carrier - Mobile carrier name (see available carriers below)
  • state - Two-letter state code. Only supported for US and Australia. Cannot be used with city
  • city - City name (lowercase, no spaces, e.g., newyork, losangeles). Required if zip is provided
  • zip - US ZIP code (5 digits). Requires city to be provided
  • asn - Autonomous System Number. Mutually exclusive with geo-location targeting

Limitations

Highly specific geotargeting may not have available IP addresses. Try creating a mobile proxy configuration to see if a specific geotargeting combination is available. Use less specific geotargeting where not available, or use residential proxies which are the most flexible option.
