Korea Proxy Test Report: K-pop Data Collection

Korea proxy real test: why K-pop data collection must use local IP?

Recently, I've been helping my friends with K-pop artist heat monitoring, and I found that Melon and Genie are particularly sneaky audio platforms. When I used a domestic server to capture data, I received a 403 error after just two days of running, and it was useless to change the IP of the cloud host - only later did I realize that they specifically blocked foreign IP segments. At this time I remembered to use the Korean proxy IP, the results of ipipgo's residential proxy tried for three days, the amount of data collection directly doubled.

Here's one.Key findings: Korean websites are particularly sensitive to the geographical location of IPs. For example, if you use a non-local IP to access the real-time update data of Melon's list, either the latency will become high, or it will directly give you fake data. We have tested and compared, with ipipgo's Korean proxy can getReal airplayThe common agent can only get the basic information.

The three pits of choosing a Korean proxy: server room IP/protocol type/rotation strategy

At first, I bought a certain server room IP for a cheap price, and 7 out of 10 IPs were banned when I collected Melon's comments, and then I switched to ipipgo.Residential Dynamic Agents, the problem was only solved. The experience of stepping through the pits is summarized in a table here:

Focusing on protocol selection: a site like Naver News, which is a strict anti-climbing site, must use theSocks5 protocolIn conjunction with UA camouflage. Tested with ipipgo's smart routing feature, automatically switching the request protocol, which improves the success rate over manual configuration by more than 40%.

Hands-On: Building a K-pop Data Pipeline with ipipgo

Here we share a real-world configuration scenario (using Python crawler as an example):

 Proxy authentication settings
proxy = "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"

 Be sure to add these two parameters to the request headers
headers = {
    "Accept-Language": "ko-KR,ko;q=0.9",
    "X-Forwarded-For": ipipgo.get_current_ip() Dynamically get the real export IP
}

Be careful to set theRandomized sleep intervalIt is recommended to float between 3-8 seconds. If you collect high frequency data such as video plays, remember to turn on the ipipgo console'sIntelligent Rotation ModelIf you want to change your IP address, set the IP address to change automatically every 50 requests.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Why does it slow down after using a proxy?
A: Check if you choose the wrong node type, the latency of Seoul server room is usually around 120ms. If the latency is more than 300ms, it is recommended to switch the carrier line in ipipgo background, SK Telecom's line is more friendly to music websites.

Q: How can I prevent my account from being blocked?
A: Remember this formula: 1 IP = 1 platform account = no more than 500 requests per day. Use ipipgo'ssession hold functionIt is possible to have specific IPs bound to accounts to avoid login anomalies.

Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?
A: Not at all! ipipgo'sDynamic resource poolsEvery day to update 20% or more IP, the actual test continuous collection of 30 days did not trigger the blocking mechanism. Their technical customer service can also help configure the whitelist, especially suitable for the need to 7 × 24 hours collection of the scene.

Guide to avoiding pitfalls: these details determine success or failure

A few last words.lesson learned through blood and tears::

1. Never harvest Melon real-time lists on the weekend, their anti-crawl system upgrades the rules Friday afternoon!
2. Don't panic when it comes to CAPTCHA, ipipgo'sautomatic retry mechanismWill switch IPs and re-request
3. To capture video data to simulate viewing behavior, it is recommended to use playwright+proxy combination

I recently found out that ipipgo is outK-pop special packageThe data integrity rate of Naver's hot words can reach 98%. If you need to monitor artists' data for a long time, you can go to their official website to find customer service to test the quota, and new users will be sent 5GB of traffic to try out.
