Getting Started

Get up and running with Vyx Network in minutes.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  • A Vyx Network account (sign up at vyx.network )
  • Your API credentials from the dashboard
  • Basic knowledge of HTTP requests

Quick Start

Create an Account

Sign up for a Vyx Network account and verify your email address.

Get Your Credentials

  1. Log in to your dashboard 
  2. Get your API Key on the left
  3. Save your credentials securely

Keep your API key secret! Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

Make Your First Request

Test your connection with a simple cURL request:

curl -x http://user:YOUR_API_KEY@proxy.vyx.network:8081 https://api.ipify.org?format=json

You should see a JSON response with your proxy’s IP address.

Integrate with Your Application

Choose your preferred language and follow the integration guide:

Python Integration

Install the requests library:

pip install requests

Use the proxy in your code:

import requests
 
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:YOUR_API_KEY@proxy.vyx.network:8081',
    'https': 'http://user:YOUR_API_KEY@proxy.vyx.network:8081'
}
 
response = requests.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', proxies=proxies)
print(response.json())

Node.js Integration

Install axios:

npm install axios

Use the proxy:

const axios = require('axios');
 
const config = {
  proxy: {
    host: 'proxy.vyx.network',
    port: 8081,
    auth: {
      username: 'user',
      password: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
    }
  }
};
 
axios.get('https://api.ipify.org?format=json', config)
  .then(response => console.log(response.data))
  .catch(error => console.error(error));

cURL

Basic HTTP proxy:

curl -x http://user:YOUR_API_KEY@proxy.vyx.network:8081 https://example.com

SOCKS5 proxy:

curl --socks5 user:YOUR_API_KEY@proxy.vyx.network:1080 https://example.com
