# Zipcode Targeting

Source: https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/residential-proxies/expert-settings/zipcode/

**Note:** Expert settings are only available for **Core Residential Proxies**.

Evomi Residential Proxies offer precision zipcode targeting for ultra-localized connections. This advanced enterprise feature enables you to route traffic through specific postal code areas, providing unprecedented geographic granularity for location-sensitive operations.

## Implementation
Append `_zip-<zipcode>` to your proxy password using any valid zipcode format:

<!--email_off-->
```bash
http://testuser:testpassword_zip-90210@rp.evomi.com:1000
```
<!--email_on-->

## Examples

#### CURL

  ```bash
curl -x http://rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_zip-10001 https://ip.evomi.com/s

curl -x http://rp.evomi.com:1000 -U testuser:testpassword_country-US_zip-90210 https://ip.evomi.com/s
```

#### Python

  ```Python
import requests

proxy_pass = "testpassword_zip-M5V3A8"
proxy_url = f"http://testuser:{proxy_pass}@rp.evomi.com:1000"

proxies = {
  "http": proxy_url,
}
response = requests.get("https://ip.evomi.com/s", proxies=proxies)
print(response.text)
```

#### JavaScript

```JavaScript
const fetch = require('node-fetch');

const proxyPass = 'testpassword_zip-SW1A1AA';
const proxyUrl = `http://testuser:${proxyPass}@rp.evomi.com:1000`;
const url = 'https://ip.evomi.com/s';

fetch(url, { proxy: proxyUrl })
  .then(res => res.text())
  .then(body => console.log(body));
```

## Supported Formats
Zipcode targeting accepts multiple international postal code formats:
- **US**: 5-digit (90210) or ZIP+4 (90210-1234)
- **UK**: Full postcode (SW1A 1AA) or partial (SW1A)
- **Canada**: Full postal code (M5V 3A8) or forward sortation area (M5V)
- **Germany**: 5-digit (10115)
- **France**: 5-digit (75001)
- **Australia**: 4-digit (2000)

## Common Use Cases
- Hyper-local market research and competitor analysis
- Regional pricing validation and compliance testing
- Location-based advertising campaign verification
- Neighborhood-specific service availability checks
- ZIP code restricted content access testing
- Local search engine optimization (SEO) validation

**Format Flexibility**  
Spaces and dashes in postal codes are automatically normalized. Both `90210-1234` and `902101234` will work identically. Use our [Proxy Generator](https://docs.evomi.com/proxy-instructions/proxy-generator/) to validate zipcode availability.

**Note:** The zipcode parameter is an extra feature. Using it will incur additional bandwidth consumption. You can see the exact extra usage history in the dashboard and in the Generator.

**Pro Tip**  
Combine with other targeting parameters for maximum precision:  
`_country-US_zip-90210_isp-comcast`  
`_zip-10001_device-windows_fraudscore-5`  
`_city-beverly.hills_zip-90210_latency-100`
