How to Use AdsPower with Oxylabs Proxy & Web Scraping Platform

Combining AdsPower's anti-detect browser with Oxylabs' proxy and web scraping platform gives you a powerful toolkit for multi-account management and data collection. AdsPower creates isolated browser environments with unique fingerprints, while Oxylabs provides high-quality proxies and scraping APIs. Together, they help you avoid detection, manage multiple accounts, and gather data efficiently. This guide walks you through the integration, from setup to advanced workflows.

Why Pair AdsPower with Oxylabs?

Oxylabs Proxy & Web Scraping Platform product interface.

AdsPower excels at creating separate browser profiles, each with its own fingerprint (Canvas, WebGL, User Agent, etc.). However, without reliable proxies, these profiles still share your real IP address, making them vulnerable to detection. Oxylabs supplies ethically sourced proxies—residential, datacenter, ISP, and mobile—that mask your IP and provide geo-targeting. Additionally, Oxylabs' Web Scraper API and Web Unblocker can automate data extraction, which you can manage through AdsPower's automation tools.

This combination solves key problems:

• Account bans: Unique fingerprints + fresh IPs reduce association risks.
• Geo-restrictions: City-level targeting lets you access localized content.
• Scalable scraping: Rotate proxies and automate browsing to collect data without blocks.

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• An AdsPower account (free plan works, but paid plans offer more profiles and automation).
• An Oxylabs account with proxy credentials (residential, datacenter, ISP, or mobile).
• Basic familiarity with proxy concepts (HTTP/SOCKS5).

Step-by-Step: Integrating Oxylabs Proxies with AdsPower

1. Create a Profile in AdsPower

Download and install AdsPower from the official website. Launch it and click New Profile. Give your profile a name and configure basic settings like browser fingerprint. You can leave most fingerprint settings on default for now; AdsPower will generate a unique fingerprint automatically.

2. Add Oxylabs Proxy Details

In the profile creation window, navigate to the Proxy tab. Select the proxy type (HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5) and enter the credentials provided by Oxylabs. The exact values depend on the proxy type you purchased.

Residential and Mobile Proxies

• Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
• Host: pr.oxylabs.io
• Port: 7777
• Username: customer-USERNAME (prepend customer-)
• Password: PASSWORD

You can add parameters to the username for geo-targeting and session control. For example:

• Country: customer-USERNAME-cc-DE
• City: customer-USERNAME-cc-US-city-los_angeles
• Session: customer-USERNAME-sessid-abcde12345

Note: SOCKS5 does not support country-specific entry nodes or sticky sessions.

Datacenter Proxies

• Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
• Host: dc.oxylabs.io
• Port: 8001 (for a specific IP) or 8000 (for rotation)
• Username: user-USERNAME (prepend user-)
• Password: PASSWORD

For pay-per-IP subscriptions, the port number corresponds to the IP in your list. For pay-per-traffic, port 8001 gives a random IP that stays consistent during a session.

ISP Proxies

• Proxy type: HTTP, HTTPS, or SOCKS5
• Host: isp.oxylabs.io
• Port: 8001 (specific IP) or 8000 (rotation)
• Username: user-USERNAME
• Password: PASSWORD

Dedicated ISP Proxies

• Host: disp.oxylabs.io
• Port: 8001
• Username: user-USERNAME
• Password: PASSWORD

For dedicated datacenter proxies, you'll receive a list of IPs. Use the IP as the host and port 60000 for HTTP or 1180 for SOCKS5.

3. Test the Proxy Connection

After entering the details, click Check Proxy. AdsPower will verify the connection. If successful, you'll see a confirmation message. If it fails, double-check your credentials and proxy type.

4. Launch and Verify

Click OK to save the profile. In the Profiles tab, click Open to launch the browser. Visit a site like ip.oxylabs.io to confirm your new IP address. You should see the Oxylabs IP, not your real one.

Bulk Proxy Setup for Multiple Profiles

If you manage many accounts, manually adding proxies is tedious. AdsPower allows bulk proxy import. Prepare a CSV file with columns for proxy type, host, port, username, and password. Then, in AdsPower, go to Bulk Create or Proxy Management and upload the file. Each profile can be assigned a unique proxy from your Oxylabs pool.

This is ideal for large-scale operations like e-commerce price monitoring or social media management.

Using Oxylabs Web Scraping Tools with AdsPower

Oxylabs offers APIs that complement AdsPower's automation features. For example, you can use the Web Scraper API to collect data from e-commerce sites. While AdsPower manages the browser session, you can trigger API calls via its Local API or RPA tools.

Example: Scraping Product Prices

1. Set up an AdsPower profile with an Oxylabs residential proxy (US city targeting).
2. Use AdsPower's RPA to navigate to a product page.
3. Extract price and availability using a script, or call Oxylabs' Web Scraper API with the same proxy.
4. Store the data for analysis.

This workflow ensures you're not blocked and that data is accurate for the targeted region.

Web Unblocker for Tough Sites

Some sites employ advanced bot detection. Oxylabs' Web Unblocker can bypass CAPTCHAs and JavaScript challenges. You can route requests through Web Unblocker while using AdsPower for session management. This is useful for scraping travel fare aggregators or real estate listings.

Practical Use Cases

• E-commerce: Monitor competitor prices across regions using geo-targeted residential proxies.
• Social Media Marketing: Manage multiple Facebook or TikTok accounts with unique fingerprints and IPs.
• Ad Verification: Check how ads appear in different locations without being tracked.
• Market Research: Collect SERP data with Oxylabs' Fast Search API and analyze trends.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

• Proxy authentication fails: Ensure you've prepended customer- or user- to the username as required.
• Slow connections: Try a different proxy type or location. Residential proxies are slower but more stealthy; datacenter proxies are faster but easier to detect.
• Profile leaks: Use Pixelscan to test for fingerprint leaks and verify proxy setup.

Yes, AdsPower supports HTTP, HTTPS, and SOCKS5 proxies, so you can use residential, datacenter, ISP, or mobile proxies from Oxylabs.

How do I rotate IPs in AdsPower?
For rotating proxies, use the appropriate port (e.g., 8000 for datacenter rotation) or configure session parameters in the username. AdsPower will use a new IP for each new browser session.

Is it possible to automate scraping with AdsPower and Oxylabs?
Absolutely. Use AdsPower's RPA or Local API to automate browser actions, and integrate Oxylabs' Web Scraper API for data extraction. You can also use Oxylabs' Headless Browser for more complex automation.

What if I need city-level targeting?
Oxylabs residential proxies support city-level targeting via username parameters (e.g., -cc-US-city-los_angeles). This works with AdsPower as long as you're using HTTP/HTTPS.

Do I need a paid AdsPower plan?
The free plan allows basic multi-accounting, but paid plans offer more profiles, team collaboration, and advanced automation. For serious scraping, a paid plan is recommended.

Conclusion

Integrating AdsPower with Oxylabs proxies and scraping tools creates a robust environment for multi-account management and data collection.
