Free Proxies API

OmniRoute ships a curated pool of free proxies in the free_proxies table, synced from external providers (1proxy, proxifly, iplocate, webshare). The dashboard surfaces these under Settings → Free Proxies. This document covers the server-side filtering, sorting, counting, and sync-error reporting that the list route exposes.

List route — GET /api/settings/free-proxies

Returns a filtered, sorted, paginated slice plus a total count. Filtering and counting happen in SQL, so the UI can show the real total (e.g. Total: 0) without loading every row into memory.

Query parameters

Param	Type	Default	Meaning
search	string	""	Case-sensitive LIKE on the host (and source) column.
protocol	string	""	type filter: http / https / socks4 / socks5. Empty = all.
country	string	""	countryCode filter (ISO-2). Empty = all.
minQuality	number	0	Only rows with qualityScore >= minQuality. 0 = no floor.
disabledSources	string	""	Comma-separated source ids to exclude (e.g. proxifly,webshare).
sortBy	quality | latency | recent	quality	quality = score desc; latency = latency asc (nulls last); recent = lastValidated desc.
offset	number	0	Pagination start.
limit	number	50	Page size (capped server-side).

Response

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "proxies": [/* FreeProxyRecord[] */],
    "total": 137,
    "hasMore": true
  },
  "stats": {
    "total": 137,
    "inPool": 12,
    "avgQuality": 64.2,
    "bySource": [{ "source": "1proxy", "count": 90 }],
    "lastSyncAt": "2026-07-11T09:30:00.000Z"
  },
  "syncErrors": {
    "proxifly": ["HTTP 429 from upstream"],
    "webshare": ["network timeout"]
  }
}

total reflects the filtered total before pagination, so the UI can render Total: N and hasMore independently. syncErrors is keyed by source id and populated only for sources that failed their last sync — a Total: 0 result is never silent.

Add-to-pool — POST /api/settings/free-proxies/[id]/add-to-pool

Promotes a free proxy into the managed proxy_registry pool. Validates the upstream first; on success returns the new pool proxy id and measured latency.

Sync — POST /api/settings/free-proxies/sync

Re-pulls all enabled sources (or the subset in { "sources": [...] }). Each source syncs independently; a failing source is recorded in syncErrors and the others still complete, so partial syncs never wipe prior good data.

Stats — GET /api/settings/free-proxies/stats

Returns the total / inPool / avgQuality / bySource / lastSyncAt aggregate without the row payload — used by the dashboard header widgets.
