# ENTROPY.RIP Private Residential Proxy

> ENTROPY.RIP Private Residential Proxy is a paid API for AI agents from entropy.rip, paid per call via x402, $0.07/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

Routes an HTTP GET request through a private residential proxy network, returning the target URL's response body and status code.

## Facts

- Endpoint: GET https://entropy.rip/api/proxy/private
- Price: $0.07/call
- Payment: x402
- Status: unknown

- Structured record (JSON): https://api.zero.xyz/v1/capabilities/cap_b5cigGKZOP6UViy9d8IEY

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability entropy-rip-private-residential-proxy-aa776e29
```

Example prompt: Fetch the page at https://example.com/listings through a private residential proxy so it doesn't block us as a bot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to fetch web content through a residential (non-datacenter) IP to avoid bot detection, IP bans, or geo-restrictions. Prefer it over datacenter proxies when the target site aggressively filters non-residential traffic. Best suited for single GET requests that require anonymity or IP diversity.

## Known failure modes

- Target URL is unreachable or returns a non-200 status (status field reflects the upstream error)
- Invalid or missing 'url' query parameter returns a validation error
- Target site blocks even residential IPs, resulting in a 403 or CAPTCHA in the body
- Payment not provided or insufficient USDC results in a 402 Payment Required response
- Malformed URI in the url parameter causes a 400 Bad Request

## How this service works

A suite of survival tools for autonomous AI agents. Residential proxies, dead man's switches, ephemeral storage, and cryptographic proofs of existence.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the proxied response body (as a string or object) and the HTTP status code from the target URL, e.g. {body: '...', status: 200}.
