How can Kuwaiti IP proxies help businesses mine Middle East data?
Anyone who wants to do market research in Kuwait knows that local websites are often blocked by foreign IPs. Last week, a friend of mine who is a lamp wholesaler complained that they wanted to check the pricing of their competitors, but just after grabbing 20 pieces of data, they were blocked from the IP, and if they had used a local proxy IP in Kuwait, it would have been a success.
The Three Strange Middle Eastern Networks
You have to feel your way around doing data collection over here:
I. IP geolocking is strict
Like the largest local e-commerce platform Noon, foreign IP access to the product details page directly jumped 404. last year, there is a mother and baby products company, using ordinary agents to try for three days did not catch the complete inventory data.
II. Access to rhythmic metaphysics
Some government websites will count the number of times you visit them, and if you visit them more than 5 times/minute, they will be blocked. But exactly when to seal all depends on luck, a logistics company's technician tried to use 2-second intervals are still blocked, changed to Kuwait IP before stabilizing.
| Type of website | Field IP survival time | Local IP Survival Time |
|---|---|---|
| E-commerce platform | 10-30 minutes | 8 hours + |
| Publicly available government data | Instant Ban | continuous availability |
ipipgo live program
We did a program for an auto parts vendor that captured 200,000 pieces of data in three months:
Step 1: Mix and match IP pools
Use ipipgo's residential IP for head start and commercial IP for backup. Cut to 4G mobile IP for sites with lots of captchas, success rate mentioned from 37% to 82%.
Step 2: Mimic a real person
Don't be silly with timed crawling, add random scrolling (sliding the page up and down) and interval pauses (0.5-3 seconds randomly) to the program. One trick is that every Thursday at 3pm locals visit shopping sites in large numbers, which is when the capture is most efficient.
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Is it okay to use a free proxy?
A: Last year, a customer figure cheap, the results collected all the fake data, and then use ipipgo's exclusive IP to get the real offer, the calculation of the shipping costs to save 15% cost.
Q: Does the IP need to be changed often?
A: Look at the type of site. Government-type sites are recommended to change every visit, the e-commerce platform can be maintained for 2 hours. ipipgo background can be set to automatically change the rules, remember to open theIntelligent switching modeThe
Q: What should I do if I encounter a CAPTCHA?
A: Don't be rigid, ipipgo's IP pool with real human behavior simulation function. Last time a customer picking logistics information, open this function after the CAPTCHA trigger rate dropped by 6%.
What to look for in a service provider?
Don't just look at the price when picking a proxy IP, focus on:
- IP survival (to be >92%)
- Local carrier coverage (things like Zain, Ooredoo have to be there)
- Whether to support instant switching
Previously, a customer bought a cheap one from another company, and as a result, the IP of 40% could not be connected. Later changed ipipgo, not only the IP availability rate up to standard, encountered problems with their technical brother can also use Arabic to communicate directly with the local operator, this is the real skill.
Engaging in the Middle East market data is like digging a well in the desert, you have to find the right tool in order to get the water out. The next time you encounter a website blocking IP, do not rush to add servers, first change a serious Kuwaiti local agent to try, maybe the morning stuck in the problem, noon will be solved.
