Selenium Automated IP Switching | Browser Automated IP Rotation Scripts

Automated IP switching solution for browsers in real scenarios

In daily network operations, often encounter the need to batch processing of multi-account operations or repeated access scenarios. Traditional single-IP access is easily restricted by the target website identification, which can be effectively solved by proxy IP rotation mechanism. We take e-commerce platform product monitoring as an example to demonstrate how to realize browser automated IP switching through ipipgo's proxy service.

Set up an IP rotation environment in three minutes

The environment is prepared in just three steps:

1. Install Python environment and selenium library (recommended version 4.x or above)

2. Download the corresponding browser driver (Chrome/Firefox are available)

3. Get proxy interface for ipipgo (supports HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 protocols)

 Example of Basic Configuration
from selenium import webdriver

proxy = "123.45.67.89:8080" proxy provided by ipipgo
chrome_options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
chrome_options.add_argument(f'--proxy-server=http://{proxy}')

Practical application of dynamic IP pools

Individual proxy IPs are prone to failure, so it is recommended to use ipipgo's Dynamic Residential IP Pool. Their API interface allows for real-time access to the latest available IPs:

Combine timed tasks for smart switching:

import requests

def get_new_ip():
    api_url = "API address for ipipgo"
    return requests.get(api_url).text

 Change IP every 10 minutes
driver.quit() closes the old instance
new_proxy = get_new_ip()
 Reinitialize the browser...

Five key points for operational maintenance

1. Anomaly Detection Mechanism: Automatically switch IP when CAPTCHA appears on the page

2. flow control: The frequency of requests from a single IP does not exceed the target site limit.

3. protocol matching

: Select HTTP/HTTPS proxy according to the characteristics of the target website
