anyIP offers hyperlocal geographic targeting for over 195 countries. You can narrow it down to Region, City, or even Carrier/ISP level.

🌍 Country Targeting

Add the country_[ISO] flag to your username to target a specific country.
  • Format: country_[2-letter-code]
  • Example (France): user_XXXX,country_FR
  • Reference: https://dashboard.anyip.io/api/data/country
For the list of officially supported countries and their ISO codes, see Supported Countries.

πŸ™ Region & City Targeting

How to target a Region

You can specify a state or region within a country.
  • Format: region_[name]
  • Note: You must specify the country first.
  • Example: user_XXXX,country_US,region_texas

How to find Region Names

You can find a list of regions via our API: https://dashboard.anyip.io/api/data/region/[COUNTRY_CODE]
  • country_US,region_california
  • country_US,region_newyork
  • country_GB,region_england
  • country_DE,region_bavaria

How to target a City

You can also target specific cities within a region.
  • Format: city_[name]
  • Note: You must specify the country and region first.
  • Example: user_XXXX,country_US,region_texas,city_dallas

How to find City Names

You can find a list of cities via our API: https://dashboard.anyip.io/api/data/city/[COUNTRY_CODE]/[REGION_NAME]
  • country_US,region_california,city_losangeles
  • country_US,region_newyork,city_newyork
  • country_GB,region_england,city_london
  • country_DE,region_bavaria,city_munich

Why a city is missing from the list

The region and city lists show publicly available locations. Sometimes a city may not be available for a region, for example New York City, if access there is very limited. anyIP uses actual peer devices, and regions and cities are subject to change as peers join or leave the network. It is possible to try and target cities that are not on the lists. Add the city_[name] flag with the country and region to your session.
If a real device is available in that location, it will be assigned to your session. AnyIP does not guarantee that an IP will be available in that city.

Request a city

You can reach out to support from the dashboard if the city you are looking for is not on the lists. The support team will forward your request to the development team and add it to the request backlog. AnyIP is unfortunately not able to provide an estimated timeframe as to when the city will be added.

How often locations are updated

Any-IP adds new IPs to their pools on a regular basis, including their United States residential IPs. There is no set schedule for when they do this or when new IPs are made available.

πŸ“‘ Carrier & ASN Targeting

To target specific Internet Service Providers (ISPs) or Mobile Carriers using their ASN (Autonomous System Number), see the list below.
  • Format: asn_[number]
  • Example (T-Mobile USA): user_XXXX,country_US,asn_21928
Examples:
  • T-Mobile US: 21928
  • Verizon US: 701
  • AT&T US: 7018
  • Vodafone UK: 13285

πŸ“ GPS Coordinates

For more localized targeting, you can request an IP closest to given coordinates.
  • Format: lat_[value],lon_[value]
  • Example (Eiffel Tower, Paris): user_XXXX,lat_48.8584,lon_2.2945
We will assign the closest available peer to these coordinates. It is not guaranteed to be at that location.

πŸ—Ί Pre-defined Pools

We have pools that cover broader regions, and you can use them with the pool_XXX username. πŸ‘‰ See the full Regional Pools Reference for complete country lists for all 19 available pools.

Verify the location of an IP

Depending on what IP geolocation service you use, the same IP can show different cities or countries. For example, one IP checker can show an IP target to Tel Aviv as being located in a different city in Israel. anyIP uses IP-API.com when verifying IP locations. To check your proxy IP against the same source:
If IP-API.com doesn’t agree with your targeting, send us an email with your targeting and the IP-API.com result and we can look into it for you.

Narrow targeting and sticky sessions

Every flag you add (region, city, ASN) reduces the number of matching peers. If an IP in a sticky session goes offline, the session is assigned another available IP that matches your parameters. To increase the chance of keeping the same IP for longer, target the whole country without region_, city_, or asn_. See Sticky vs. Rotating Sessions for session behavior. If your targeting is too restrictive, you may receive a no_peers_available (502) from the proxy

⚑️ Performance: Choosing the Right Server

We have global entry nodes. While portal.anyip.io automatically sends you to the nearest one, you can specifically set the one you want to connect to if you are having latency issues. Tip: If you are trying to scrape a US website from a server in Germany and want your request to go through our network closer to the target, connect to portal-na.anyip.io to get better speeds.
