Compliance Access Guide for Financial Data Providers

How to choose a proxy IP for a financial data provider?Look at these three pitfalls first

Do financial data in this line know, now the platform wind control is getting more and more strict. Last week, a friend doing analysis of U.S. stocks and I complained that their self-built server IP was suddenly blocked, resulting in real-time market data out of gear for two hours, the customer almost lifted the table. This situation with ordinary proxy IP simply can not carry, have to look for specializing in enterprise-level services.

Three pits are common on the market:Shared IP pool reuse,IP survival time is too short,geographic driftThe first time I've seen this is when I've been in the market for a long time. Last year, a quantitative team has been planted, they use the proxy IP in the morning shows in New York, suddenly jumped to Brazil in the afternoon, the trading system directly triggered anomaly alarm.

Compliance access is centered on two things: acting like a real person + not leaving a trace

How sick are financial platforms' anti-crawl strategies now? Don't talk about high frequency requests, even the mouse movement track is monitored. Last month a data provider was found to use the IP of the engine room, and all data interfaces were permanently blacked out. At this time it is necessary toResidential Proxy IP, especially one like ipipgo with real-life behavioral simulations.

Focus on these two parameters:
- Session hold time > 8 hours (to prevent dropping out in the middle of a session)
- IP purity > 99% (to avoid blacklisting)
ipipgo's unique technology enables each proxy IP to bind a fixed device fingerprint, and the access mode completely simulates human operation. There is a customer to do financial report capture test, 7 consecutive days every day request 200,000 times did not trigger the verification.

Hands on configuration of ipipgo proxy

Don't be intimidated by the technical documentation, it's really just three steps:

1. Selection of regional poolsFor example, if you want to pick up Nasdaq data, pick ipipgo's US East Coast node.
2. Setting up a rotation strategy: It is recommended to change IP once every 30 minutes and use fixed IP for important services.
3. Failure to add retry: Automatically switch to alternate channel when status code returns 403

This is a sample of a real configuration from one of our customers:

Go directly to customer service when you encounter these five problems

Q: Why do I get a 403 error for an IP I just bought?
A: 80% of the IP library is not updated in time, ipipgo background every 15 minutes to refresh the list of available IP, remember to open the automatic synchronization

Q: What if I need to access both Chinese and American data sources?
A: Create two channel groups in the ipipgo console, it is recommended to use their intelligent routing function to automatically match the optimal line

Q: Will I get a speed limit for sudden traffic spikes?
A: enterprise version of the user has exclusive bandwidth protection, last week there is a double eleven to do consumer data customers, instantaneous concurrency from 800 to 5000 are not lagging!

Q: How do I prove that a proxy IP is GDPR compliant?
A: ipipgo provides complete proof of compliance documents, including data source authorization and privacy protection agreement, which is an exclusive advantage of their family

Q: How to troubleshoot the sudden instability of API interface?
A: First look at ipipgo background real-time health monitoring graph, the red area indicates that the current abnormal nodes, a key to switch to the backup cluster on the line!

Tell me something your peers won't tell you.

Last year, a well-known data vendor was fined by the SEC, the surface said that the data is fake, the actual proxy IP exposed the crawler behavior. Now the regulator will reverse track the source of the IP, using ordinary server room IP is looking for death.

There's a tricky way to do it:Mixed use of 4 proxy types(Residential IP + Data Center IP + Mobile IP + ISP Static IP). However, the cost of building your own is too high, it is recommended to directly use ipipgo's hybrid proxy solution, they automatically assign the optimal combination, which improves the success rate by more than 40% over a single IP type.

As a final reminder, don't buy low-cost packages on the market for cheap. Last year, a company because of IP pollution caused data errors, lost customers more than three million dollars. Professional things still have to give ipipgo this old brand, after all, financial data can not tolerate a little error.
