Why do I need a proxy IP for domestic website data collection?
When obtaining domestic public data, many websites use technical means to recognize the real IP address of visitors. When a large number of access requests from duplicate IPs occur within a short period of time, theThe target website may directly block the IP or limit the frequency of access., resulting in interruption of the data collection task. For example, a cross-border e-commerce company needs to monitor the prices of goods in 10 countries in real time. If only a local server is used for direct connection, it is not only easy to be recognized as abnormal traffic, but also may lead to untimely data update due to network delay.
Using ipipgo's proxy IP service, you can directly call real residential IPs distributed in the target area. for example, when you need to collect data from a website in Germany, the system will automatically assign local IPs in different cities such as Frankfurt and Berlin, so that the data request will look like a normal visit by an ordinary user. This real geographical distribution characteristic can effectively reduce the risk of being intercepted during the collection process.
How to choose the right type of proxy IP?
Depending on the collection scenario, ipipgo offers two core solutions:
| Dynamic Residential IP | Static Residential IP |
|---|---|
| Suitable for high-frequency acquisition scenarios | Suitable for long-term monitoring missions |
| Automatic IP change per request | Fixed IP to maintain stable connection |
| Breaking through the frequency of visits | Maintaining Login Status Continuity |
Taking social media data collection as an example, dynamic IP is more suitable for batch operations that require fast account switching, while static IP is suitable for user behavior analysis that requires long-term login status. ipipgo's IP pool covers more than 240 countries and regions around the world, with 90 million+ real residential IPs that can be called at any time on demand.
Proxy IP configuration in three steps
Step 1: Get API access documentation
Log in to ipipgo backstage to download the corresponding language SDK, which supports Python/Java/PHP and other mainstream programming languages. Take Python as an example, the initialization can be completed by 3 lines of code:
from ipipgo import Client client = Client(api_key="your_key") print(client.get_proxy())
Step 2: Set request header parameters
Configure the X-Forwarded-For and User-Agent parameters in the collection tool. It is recommended to use the browser fingerprint library provided by ipipgo to automatically generate device information that matches the characteristics of users in the target region.
Step 3: Set up IP rotation policy
Set the switching frequency according to the protection level of the target website. It is recommended to change IPs every 50 requests for regular websites, or every 5-10 times for websites with strict protection. ipipgo's API supports two automatic switching modes: time/times.
Three major considerations for data collection
1. Request frequency control
Even if you use a proxy IP, it is important to simulate human operation intervals. It is recommended to include a 2-5 second random delay in the code to avoid triggering traffic anomaly alerts on your website.
2. IP purity verification
All of ipipgo's residential IPs are passedtriple authentication: ① Local carrier compliance certification ② Historical usage record traceability ③ Real-time blacklist detection. Before collecting sensitive data, it is recommended to verify IP availability with a test interface.
3. Principle of agreement matching
SSL encryption is mandatory for https websites, and http websites are recommended to keep plaintext transmission. ipipgo's full protocol support feature can automatically adapt to SOCKS5, HTTP and other proxy protocols to avoid connection failures due to protocol mismatch.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: What should I do if I encounter CAPTCHA when collecting?
A: It is recommended to reduce the request frequency of individual IPs and enable ipipgo's intelligent routing function. The system will automatically assign high-quality IP segments with CAPTCHA occurrence rate lower than 3%.
Q: How to choose between Dynamic IP and Static IP?
A: The scenarios that need to maintain the continuity of the session (such as maintaining the login state) choose static IP, and the routine collection tasks give priority to the use of dynamic IP. ipipgo supports the two modes of switching at any time, and does not charge extra fees.
Q: How to test the actual effect of proxy IP?
A: ipipgo provides free trial service to test IP response speed, success rate and anonymity through real collection environment. It is recommended to verify with a small-scale task first, and then gradually expand the scope of collection.
