Agent API Integration Development Best Practices

First, proxy API in the end can do what? After reading this you will understand

The technical brothers know that many business scenarios now have to use proxy IP. for example, to do e-commerce price monitoring, you directly take their own IP to climb the data, minutes to be blocked. This time you need to find a reliable proxy service provider, such as ouripipgo, integrate the API into the system to automatically change IPs.

Let's take a real example: a friend doing overseas e-commerce has to compare 20 platforms in real time. At first, he used a fixed IP address, which was blocked every three days. Later changed to ipipgo's dynamic residential agent, set every 5 minutes to automatically replace the IP address, and now the data grabbed a steady.

Second, the choice of agent service providers do not step on these pits

There are many proxy service providers on the market, but there are also many pits. Here to teach you a few tricks to avoid the pit:

Special Note: Don't try to use shared proxies for cheap, those IPs have been used for a long time. ipipgo's exclusive proxies are more expensive, but each session is a clean IP, a must for the crawler business.

Third, hand to teach you to access the API

Here's an example in Python to show how to quickly access ipipgo's proxy API:

import requests

def get_proxy().
     Replace with your own api_key
    api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy?key=YOUR_API_KEY"
    resp = requests.get(api_url)
    return f "http://{resp.json()['proxy']}"

 Example of use
proxy = get_proxy()
resp = requests.get("Target site", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy})
print(resp.text)

Focused attention:Remember to set up a timeout retry mechanism! It is recommended to configure at least 3 retries, and the timeout should not exceed 15 seconds. ipipgo's API usually responds within 200ms, so if it times out, it's most likely a network problem.

Fourth, these error handling positions must be able to

I've seen too many people integrating proxy APIs and then scratching their heads when they run into problems. Share a few real-world experiences:

1. Don't panic if your IP lapses: When the target site returns 403, immediately call ipipgo's replacement interface to change the IP address.
2. Concurrency control should be done properly: Don't open 1000 threads at once, it is recommended to try 5 concurrency first and increase gradually.
3. Logging can't be understated: Record the usage of each IP for easy troubleshooting

There is a customer who does data collection and often encountered CAPTCHA before. Later, using ipipgo's rotating proxy function, set every request 50 times to automatically change IP, the rate of CAPTCHA directly dropped by 80%.

V. Performance optimization has a trick

Agents used well, efficiency doubles. Three top tips for boosting performance:

• IP warm-up tips: bulk get 10 IPs to spare before starting the task
• Geographic location matching: collect U.S. websites with ipipgo's U.S. residential IPs
• Connection multiplexing: maintains long connections for successive requests from the same IP address

VI. Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What should I do if my proxy IP is always blocked?
A: First check if you are using the data center IP, change to ipipgo's residential proxy. Then adjust the request frequency, don't send too many requests in a short time.

Q: How do I test the actual speed of the proxy?
A: Test with the curl command:curl -x http://代理IP:端口 -o /dev/null -s -w '%{speed_download}' Destination URL

Q: Which one should I choose if I need a highly anonymous proxy?
A: Just go with ipipgo'sPremium Anonymous PackageThe X-Forwarded-For header is automatically erased, completely hiding the real IP.

Finally, to be honest, the choice of proxy service is like looking for a partner, just look at the price can not also look at the long-term stability. With ipipgo more than three years of old customers said that the quality of their IP is really stable, the technical response is also fast, the key time does not fall off the chain than what is strong.
