PROXYLANE DEVELOPER DOCUMENTATION

Read integration guides and provider comparisons directly from your editor, agent or HTTP client.

[Open llms.txt](https://proxylane.dev/llms.txt)  [OpenAPI description](https://proxylane.dev/openapi.json)

 

## Authentication and scope

The public content interface is free and read-only. It needs no API key, account or OAuth token. Its requests retrieve ProxyLane documents and source-linked comparisons. For proxy configuration and MCP product details, read the relevant guide and  [MCP access overview](https://proxylane.dev/mcp-access) . Registration and preferences use the website account flow.

## Make your first request

```bash
curl --fail https://proxylane.dev/llms.txt
curl --fail -H 'Accept: text/markdown' \
  https://proxylane.dev/blog/python-requests-proxy
curl --fail https://proxylane.dev/compare/bright-data-vs-oxylabs.md
```

## Choose the amount of context

- [llms.txt](https://proxylane.dev/llms.txt)  gives an overview, task guidance and described starting links

- [llms-index.txt](https://proxylane.dev/llms-index.txt)  lists every public document

- [llms-full.txt](https://proxylane.dev/llms-full.txt)  contains the complete public corpus in one large file

- [agents.md](https://proxylane.dev/agents.md)  explains task selection and the account workflow

Every public content page has a `.md` alternative; the homepage uses `/index.md`. Read a single relevant guide first. The full archive can exceed 2 MB and is optional.

## Formats and errors

Canonical pages serve HTML or Markdown according to `Accept`, including quality values. Responses include `Vary: Accept`, a canonical link and links to the alternate format and llms.txt. Unsupported content types return 406. Missing documents return 404 with recovery links. Request `application/json` on an invalid route to receive a structured problem response with a status, code and resolution hint.

```bash
curl -i -H 'Accept: application/json' \
  https://proxylane.dev/api/unknown-document
```

## Integrate from a schema

The  [OpenAPI 3.1 description](https://proxylane.dev/openapi.json)  lists the public reading operations, parameter values and response formats. The  [API catalog](https://proxylane.dev/.well-known/api-catalog)  links this description to its documentation. Operations are GET requests with no writes, purchases, pagination or subscription state. Cache the documents you read and avoid repeatedly downloading the full archive. If an edge service returns 429 or 503, honor `Retry-After` when supplied and retry with backoff.
