The biggest headache of doing data collection is triggering the website anti-crawl mechanism. When doing crawling with residential IPTwo issues need to be addressed at the core: How do I make a request look like a real person's action? How to use a proxy IP to avoid associated blocking? Here we recommend using ipipgo's residential IP service, their dynamic IP library can automatically change the export IP, with the following parameter settings, can effectively reduce the risk of being blocked.
The Golden Rule of Dynamic IP Rotation
It is recommended that each completed50-100 requestsJust replace the IP address, the specific value according to the target site's anti-climbing strength adjustment. In ipipgo background you can set the automatic rotation interval, it is recommended to turn on the"Rotation by number of requests"Function. Pay attention to the responsiveness of the target website, if you find that the response slows down or CAPTCHA appears, shorten the rotation cycle immediately.
| Scene Type | Recommended number of rotations | IP Survival Time |
|---|---|---|
| High Frequency Data Acquisition | 50 times/pc | 10-15 minutes |
| General Content Crawl | 100 times/pc | 30-60 minutes |
Three key points for request interval settings
1. base interval: 3-5 seconds is recommended for ordinary websites, and 8-12 seconds for websites with strict anti-climbing.
2. random jitter: add ±30% to the base interval for randomization time
3. time interval control: Mimic the user's work routine and set 6:00-24:00 as the active time every day
With ipipgo's API you can get the timestamp interval parameter directly, and their residential IPs come with geolocation rest and recuperation characteristics, such as automatically lengthening the request interval for US IPs in the early morning hours of US West Time.
Automatic fusing mechanism for abnormal traffic
It is recommended to set up a three-level protection policy:
1. Automatic IP switching when 3 consecutive requests return 403/429 status codes
2. Suspend the task for 1 hour if the CAPTCHA is triggered more than 5 times per hour
3. If the number of blocked IPs exceeds 10 per day, a warning notice will be sent automatically.
ipipgo's API returns data containingCurrent IP health status score, which can be used in conjunction with the meltdown mechanism. They have 90 million + resources in their residential IP pool, and a single IP being blocked will not affect the overall mission.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will frequent IP changes affect the collection speed?
A: with ipipgo's dynamic residential IP, each switch takes only 0.8-1.2 seconds, their API supports batch prefetching IP, the actual speed loss is no more than 3%
Q: How can I tell if my IP is blocked by a website?
A: Pay attention to three signals: sudden appearance of a large number of verification codes, return status code anomalies, continuous request for no data return. It is recommended to use ipipgo's IP health monitoring interface to query in real time
Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?
A: Using ipipgo's dynamic residential IP service is not required, their system will automatically eliminate abnormal IPs and replenish new resources, and the API returns pre-screened available IPs!
