# Quickstart

> Make your first proxy request

## 1. Get Credentials

Your credentials are available in the [Dashboard](https://turnoxy.com/dashboard):

| Component | Format           |
| --------- | ---------------- |
| Username  | `sub_` + 8 chars |
| Password  | 16 chars         |

## 2. Make Your First Request

<CodeGroup>
  ```bash cURL theme={null}
  curl -x "http://sub_xxx:pass@gate.turnoxy.com:1318" https://api.ipify.org
  ```

  ```python Python theme={null}
  import requests

  proxy = "http://sub_xxx:pass@gate.turnoxy.com:1318"
  response = requests.get("https://api.ipify.org", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})
  print(response.text)
  ```

  ```javascript Node.js theme={null}
  const axios = require('axios');

  const response = await axios.get('https://api.ipify.org', {
    proxy: {
      host: 'gate.turnoxy.com',
      port: 1318,
      auth: { username: 'sub_xxx', password: 'pass' }
    }
  });
  console.log(response.data);
  ```
</CodeGroup>

## 3. Add Parameters

Append parameters to the username with `-` delimiter:

```bash theme={null}
# Target US IPs
curl -x "http://sub_xxx-country-US:pass@gate.turnoxy.com:1318" https://api.ipify.org

# Target Germany IPs
curl -x "http://sub_xxx-country-DE:pass@gate.turnoxy.com:1318" https://api.ipify.org

# Sticky session (same IP for 10 minutes)
curl -x "http://sub_xxx-session-mysession-ttl-10:pass@gate.turnoxy.com:1318" https://api.ipify.org
```
