List all supported proxy providers and their capabilities.

Always call this first. Shows each provider's proxy types, supported operations, whether it is configured, and the env vars it requires.

Get capabilities and configuration status for a single provider.

List proxies already on your account with a given provider.

Best for providers that sell fixed IPs (e.g. proxy6, proxyline, webshare, proxymesh). For rotating/residential pools, prefer generate_proxy_list.

Generate ready-to-use proxy strings with geo-targeting and rotation.

Best for residential/rotating providers (e.g. iproyal). Each proxy in the result has a url field usable directly as an HTTP/SOCKS5 proxy.

Check the account balance / remaining traffic allowance for a provider.

Get traffic / request usage statistics for a provider.

List the countries/locations targetable with a provider.

Purchase new proxies. This spends real money on the provider account.

Only available for providers that support programmatic ordering (e.g. proxy6, proxystore, proxyline). Check list_providers first.

Extend/renew existing proxies by their IDs. Spends real money.

Fetch a URL through a managed scraping API (e.g. scraperapi, scrapingbee).

Get a single ready-to-use proxy from any configured provider.

Convenience for "I just need a proxy now": picks the first configured provider that can serve the requested type, preferring generation over listing. Use the more specific tools for control over which provider.
