Headers

Web Unblocker maximizes website unblocking efficiency by using headers predefined by our team.

Custom Headers

If you require the use of your own headers, you can do so by adding the x-oxylabs-force-headers: 1 header into your requests. Web Unblocker will merge your custom headers into the predefined headers set and then use it to access the website.

This feature allows for the inclusion of standard parameters like Accept-Language, as well as custom headers tailored to specific targets. However, certain custom headers are always rejected; you can find them in this list.

Code examples

cURL

curl -k -v -x unblock.oxylabs.io:60000 \
-U "USERNAME:PASSWORD" "https://ip.oxylabs.io/headers" \
-H "x-oxylabs-force-headers: 1" \
-H "Your-Custom-Header: interesting header content" \
-H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/73.0.3683.86 Chrome/73.0.3683.86 Safari/537.36" \
-H "Accept-Language: en-US"
