How to find a reliable proxy quickly with Proxy IP Verification API
The biggest headache many people have when using proxy IPs is theI don't know if the IP in hand will workI'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this. Sometimes you just get a proxy that connects when you test it, but drops frequently when you actually use it. This time you need a professional authentication interface to help.
Taking ipipgo's IP inspection interface as an example, you only need to send a request with a proxy to the interface address to get a proxy containing theConnection speed, survival status, geolocationThe full report. A friend doing cross-border e-commerce told me that they use this interface to automatically filter out 30% unstable IPs every day, and the collection efficiency is directly doubled.
Three Steps to Detect Proxy IP Anonymity Levels
Many users do not realize that there are three levels of anonymity for proxy IPs:
| hierarchy | hallmark | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| Transparent Agent | The server reveals the real IP | Internal system testing |
| General anonymous | Hiding real IPs but exposing proxy features | Routine data collection |
| High Stash Agents | Fully simulates real equipment | Sensitive business operations |
Through ipipgo's detection interface, you can view key headers such as X-Forwarded-For to determine the anonymity level. A customer doing social media operations gave feedback that the probability of their account being blocked dropped by 80% after using a high stash proxy.
Tips for using APIs in the real world
Here are two real-life examples to share:
1. A price comparison site set up using the ipipgo interface.Dual authentication mechanism: Do basic validation when first acquiring a proxy, and then do secondary testing before actual use, kicking IPs with a timeout of more than 2 seconds directly out of the available queue.
2. there is a team of local life services, through the detection of the interface of theGeo Location Matching FunctionThe data accuracy of the crawl is improved by 40% by ensuring that each city agent is truly from the local residential network.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if I always time out when verifying the agent?
A: It is recommended to set the timeout to 3 seconds, and IPs exceeding this threshold will be eliminated directly. ipipgo's residential proxies have an average response speed of about 1.2 seconds, which is suitable for businesses that require a fast response.
Q: How do you ensure the accuracy of anonymous testing?
A: In addition to detecting standard headers, it is also important to check for hidden channels such as WebRTC leaks. ipipgo's high stash proxy uses thekernel-level traffic masquerading technology, which maintains real user characteristics across multiple detection dimensions.
Q: Does the detection interface increase the cost of use?
A: Professional service providers will provide free basic testing interface. Like ipipgo's verification API has 50,000 free calls per month quota, enough for small and medium-sized projects.
Choosing the right proxy service provider can save you a lot of trouble. As a global residential proxy service provider, ipipgo'sDynamic IP pool real-time update mechanismIt can automatically eliminate failed nodes, and used in conjunction with the verification interface, it can basically realize zero manual maintenance. In particular, their city-level positioning function is particularly practical for scenarios that require accurate geographic matching.
