web-unblocker

Bypasses anti-bot protections using Oxylabs Web Unblocker, an AI-powered proxy that handles fingerprinting, JavaScript rendering, and retries automatically. Use when the user needs to scrape protected websites, bypass CAPTCHAs, access blocked content, or when regular proxies fail due to anti-bot measures.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by oxylabs on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Web Unblocker AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/web-unblocker
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills.git /tmp/agent-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/agent-skills/skills/web-unblocker .claude/skills/web-unblocker

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Web Unblocker in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Web Unblocker on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Web Unblocker is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Oxylabs Web Unblocker

AI-powered proxy solution that automatically manages fingerprinting, headers, retries, and JavaScript rendering.

Endpoint


https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000

Authentication

HTTP Basic Auth via proxy credentials:

bash
curl -k -x "https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000" \
  -U "$OXYLABS_USERNAME:$OXYLABS_PASSWORD" \
  "https://example.com"

Quick Start

Basic request:

bash
curl -k -x "https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000" \
  -U "$OXYLABS_USERNAME:$OXYLABS_PASSWORD" \
  "https://ip.oxylabs.io/headers"

With JavaScript rendering:

bash
curl -k -x "https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000" \
  -U "$OXYLABS_USERNAME:$OXYLABS_PASSWORD" \
  -H "x-oxylabs-render: html" \
  "https://example.com/spa-page"

Headers

Header	Description
`x-oxylabs-render`	`html` for rendered HTML, `png` for raw PNG bytes; empty value disables automatic forced rendering
`X-Oxylabs-Session-Id`	Reuse same IP across requests (any random string)
`X-Oxylabs-Geo-Location`	Target country, city/state, ZIP/postcode, or coordinates
`x-oxylabs-force-headers: 1`	Enable custom header passthrough
`x-oxylabs-force-cookies: 1`	Enable custom cookie passthrough
`X-Oxylabs-Successful-Status-Codes`	Define custom success codes to prevent retries
`x-oxylabs-browser-instructions`	JSON-escaped browser actions; requires `x-oxylabs-render: html`

Session Persistence

Reuse the same IP across multiple requests:

bash
curl -k -x "https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000" \
  -U "$OXYLABS_USERNAME:$OXYLABS_PASSWORD" \
  -H "X-Oxylabs-Session-Id: my-session-123" \
  "https://example.com/page1"

Geo-Location Targeting

bash
curl -k -x "https://unblock.oxylabs.io:60000" \
  -U "$OXYLABS_USERNAME:$OXYLABS_PASSWORD" \
  -H "X-Oxylabs-Geo-Location: Germany" \
  "https://example.com"

Use values such as Germany, 90210, California,United States, New York,New York,United States, or lat: 40.7128, lng: -74.0060, rad: 50.

Use normal HTTP methods and request bodies through the proxy; Web Unblocker supports both GET and POST.

When to Use Web Unblocker vs Regular Proxies

Scenario	Use
Sites with anti-bot protection	Web Unblocker
CAPTCHAs, fingerprint detection	Web Unblocker
JavaScript-heavy SPAs	Web Unblocker with `x-oxylabs-render: html`
Simple requests, no protection	Regular Proxies
High volume, price sensitive	Regular Proxies

Key Guidelines

Always use -k flag (or disable SSL verification) - the proxy uses its own certificates
Add x-oxylabs-render: html if experiencing empty content or low success rates; set client timeouts near 180 seconds for rendered requests
Check X-Oxylabs-Final-Url in response headers when redirects matter
Avoid adding custom unblocking headers that may interfere with the AI
Browser instruction header values must be JSON-escaped and compact; pair them with x-oxylabs-render: html

For code examples in Python, Node.js, PHP, Go, Java, and C#, see examples.md.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Web Unblocker AI skill do?

Why use Web Unblocker on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Web Unblocker is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Web Unblocker in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/oxylabs/agent-skills/tree/main/skills/web-unblocker. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Web Unblocker?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Web Unblocker?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Web Unblocker with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Web Unblocker AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by oxylabs under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
