Create proxy pool

POST /api/v1/proxy-pools

Create a group of proxy addresses that sites can use.

Access

A Bearer API key for this workspace with write permission is required. The server also checks the owner’s permission for this resource and action. An inaccessible object is not disclosed.

Parameters

Example request parameters or JSON body:

{
  "code": "catalog-proxies",
  "name": "Catalog proxy",
  "rotation": "round_robin"
}

name is required. Omit code to generate it automatically. Rotation accepts round_robin, random, fastest, least_used, or sticky. sticky_seconds: 60–86400 seconds, default 600. Codes are unique per workspace and immutable.

Response 201

The example is shortened; actual responses may include more fields. Sample IDs are placeholders.

{
  "id": 1,
  "code": "catalog-proxies"
}

Send the request

Set BASE to your installation URL without a trailing slash and API_KEY to a secret stored on your server. Client setup and browser JavaScript.
