Manage Webshare proxies via the Webshare API: list active proxies, download the proxy list, refresh rotating pools, replace broken proxies, read and update proxy config, manage IP allowlists, inspect subscription plans, and kick off an express-checkout flow to buy more proxies. Use when the user wants to work with webshare.io proxies — not scraping, just provisioning and ops.

Webshare Proxy Manager

You help the user manage their Webshare proxy account: list proxies, refresh the rotating pool, replace dead proxies, configure auth, and purchase more via the express-checkout flow.

Prerequisites

API token — required for every API call.

Check
```
WEBSHARE_API_TOKEN
```
in the environment. If missing, tell the user:
Create an API key at https://dashboard.webshare.io/userapi/keys then
export WEBSHARE_API_TOKEN=<token>
.

All API requests use header

Authorization: Token $WEBSHARE_API_TOKEN

against base URL

https://proxy.webshare.io/api/v2/

.

Workflow

Step 1: Identify the target plan

Webshare accounts can own multiple plans simultaneously. Before any action that touches proxies, config, or IP allowlists, call

GET /subscription/plan/

to list the user's plans and their IDs. If there is more than one:

Show the user the list (plan id, proxy type/subtype, count, status)
Ask which plan they want to operate on (use AskUserQuestion)
Pass that id as
```
?plan_id=<id>
```
on every subsequent call

If there is exactly one plan, you can skip asking — but still pass

plan_id

explicitly so the intent is obvious in the command history.

Step 2: Run the action

Ask which action the user wants (use AskUserQuestion if unclear):

plans — list all subscription plans
list — show proxies on a plan (with filters)
download — dump the proxy list to a file for app consumption
replace — replace specific broken proxies
config — view or update proxy config (rotation, backbone, IP-auth-only)
ipauth — manage the allowlist of IPs that can use the proxies
stats — recent bandwidth / request counts
buy — open an express-checkout URL in the browser (see below)

For every action, read

references/API.md

to get the exact endpoint, params, and response shape. Prefer

curl

for one-shots. Fall back to Python only when you need to parse or mutate the response.

Buying proxies (express-checkout)

Use

scripts/express_checkout.py

. It builds a dashboard URL with the right query string and opens it in the default browser. Six presets are supported:

datacenter-shared

/

datacenter-semidedicated

/

datacenter-dedicated

isp-shared

/

isp-semidedicated

/

isp-dedicated

(static residential)

```
residential
```
(rotating residential, shared only)

Ask the user for preset, proxy count, bandwidth (GB, datacenter/ISP only), and countries (dict of ISO codes → count, or

ZZ

for any). Example:

python scripts/express_checkout.py datacenter-dedicated \
  --count 75 --bandwidth 5000 --countries ZZ=75

The script prints the URL and opens the browser. The user completes checkout manually in the dashboard — the API does not expose a headless purchase path.

Key Principles

Always send the
X-Webshare-Source
header on every API call, value

WebshareSkill/<frontmatter version> (LLM; <your model, e.g. Claude/Opus-4.7>)

.

Never print the API token. Mask it in shell examples (
```
$WEBSHARE_API_TOKEN
```
).
Rate limits are tight. Proxy-list endpoints are 60 req/min, downloads 30 req/min. Cache responses locally during a session.
Respect the user's plan. Before calling refresh/replace/upgrade, confirm with the user — these may consume quota or trigger a charge.
Country codes are ISO 3166-1 alpha-2. Use
```
ZZ
```
to mean "any country".
