## Rename, toggle auto-renew, or configure automatic rotation

`PATCH /v1/mobile/{portId}`

Rename the port, turn auto-renew on or off, or set an automatic rotation timer, from every 2 minutes to every 24 hours: `"rotation": { "mode": "interval", "intervalMinutes": 10 }` (2–1440 minutes); `"mode": "manual"` turns it off. Otherwise your port keeps its IP until you rotate it, although the carrier can change it on its own from time to time.

Authentication: API key in the `Authorization: Bearer API_KEY` header.

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `portId` | path | string | Yes | — |

**Request body**

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `label` | string | No | max. 60 characters |
| `autoRenew` | boolean | No | — |
| `rotation` | object | No | Automatic rotation timer: `{ "mode": "interval", "intervalMinutes": 2–1440 }` (from every 2 minutes to every 24 hours), or `{ "mode": "manual", "intervalMinutes": null }` to rotate only on demand. |

*Example: Auto Rotate*

```json
{
  "rotation": {
    "mode": "interval",
    "intervalMinutes": 10
  }
}
```

*Example: Manual*

```json
{
  "rotation": {
    "mode": "manual",
    "intervalMinutes": null
  }
}
```

**Response** `200 OK`

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"rotation":{"mode":"interval","intervalMinutes":10}}'
```

*Python*

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://menaproxies.com/api/v1"

r = requests.patch(f"{API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q", headers=HEADERS, json={"rotation": {"mode": "interval", "intervalMinutes": 10}}, timeout=30)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json())
```

*Node.js*

```javascript
// Node.js 18+ (built-in fetch), ES module
const API = 'https://menaproxies.com/api/v1';

const res = await fetch(`${API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q`, {
  method: 'PATCH',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
  body: JSON.stringify({ rotation: { mode: 'interval', intervalMinutes: 10 } }),
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error((await res.json()).error?.message ?? `HTTP ${res.status}`);
console.log(await res.json());
```

## Change the IP now

`POST /v1/mobile/{portId}/rotate`

Each rotation reconnects your port to the carrier to get a new IP and usually takes 5–15 seconds; the carrier may occasionally hand back the same IP: just rotate again. At most once every 30 seconds per port (`minRotationIntervalSeconds`): a rotation asked too soon returns `429 rotation_too_soon` with `Retry-After` (seconds to wait).

Authentication: API key in the `Authorization: Bearer API_KEY` header.

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `portId` | path | string | Yes | — |

**Response** `200 OK`

```json
{
  "ip": "203.0.113.201",
  "previousIp": "203.0.113.77",
  "rotatedAt": "2026-10-05T14:03:11Z",
  "nextRotationAvailableAt": "2026-10-05T14:03:41Z"
}
```

*curl*

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://menaproxies.com/api/v1/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"
```

*Python*

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://menaproxies.com/api/v1"
HEADERS = {"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['API_KEY']}"}

r = requests.post(f"{API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate", headers=HEADERS, timeout=30)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.json())
```

*Node.js*

```javascript
// Node.js 18+ (built-in fetch), ES module
const API = 'https://menaproxies.com/api/v1';

const res = await fetch(`${API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate`, {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.API_KEY}` },
});
if (!res.ok) throw new Error((await res.json()).error?.message ?? `HTTP ${res.status}`);
console.log(await res.json());
```

## Rotation link (GET with API key in the query string)

`GET /v1/mobile/{portId}/rotate`

Same as `POST`, for scripts and bookmarks: `GET https://menaproxies.com/api/v1/mobile/{portId}/rotate?key=API_KEY`. The key needs the `proxies` scope. `format=text` returns the new IP as `text/plain`.

Authentication: API key in the `key` query parameter (scope `proxies`), so the link works from a bookmark.

**Parameters**

| Name | In | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `key` | query | string | Yes | Your API key (scope `proxies`). |
| `portId` | path | string | Yes | — |
| `format` | query | `json` · `text` | No | default `json` |

**Response** `200 OK`

```json
{
  "ip": "203.0.113.201",
  "previousIp": "203.0.113.77",
  "rotatedAt": "2026-10-05T14:03:11Z",
  "nextRotationAvailableAt": "2026-10-05T14:03:41Z"
}
```

*curl*

```bash
curl -s "https://menaproxies.com/api/v1/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate?key=$API_KEY&format=text"
```

```python
import os
import requests

API = "https://menaproxies.com/api/v1"

r = requests.get(f"{API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate", params={"key": os.environ["API_KEY"], "format": "text"}, timeout=30)
r.raise_for_status()
print(r.text)
```

*Node.js*

```javascript
// Node.js 18+ (built-in fetch), ES module
const API = 'https://menaproxies.com/api/v1';

const res = await fetch(`${API}/mobile/mob_2v8k1q/rotate?key=${process.env.API_KEY}&format=text`);
if (!res.ok) throw new Error((await res.json()).error?.message ?? `HTTP ${res.status}`);
console.log(await res.text());
```

## Daily traffic through the port (for information: unlimited data, under fair use)
