Selenium always gets blocked for grabbing data? Try this life-saving trick
Brothers engaged in automation testing should understand that the use of Selenium to capture the data of the most afraid of what? Just run a couple of times and then the target website will block the IP! This time we have to move out of our life preserving weapon - proxy IP, like playing a game to open a small number, a number is blocked immediately change to a new number to continue to do.
How exactly does a proxy IP renew Selenium's life?
Simply put, it's a "vest" for your browser, so that every time you visit, you'll have a different web identity. Here is the highlight of our own productExclusive IP Pool for ipipgoThe actual test has been a single day to change 500 + IP will not fall off the line. The specific operation is divided into three steps:
1. Install the ipipgo SDK.
pip install ipipgo-selenium
2. Configuring agent parameters
| parameters | example value |
|---|---|
| API_KEY | Your own key |
| IP Type | Residential/Engine Room |
| session length | Recommended 5-10 minutes |
3. Launching a browser with a proxy
from ipipgo_selenium import WebDriver
driver = WebDriver().chrome(proxy_mode='smart')
Avoid these potholes and catch data steady as an old dog
I've seen too many people get blocked even though they've clearly used proxies, and most of them are planted in these places:
① IP switching too often → Website found in 1 second to change 3 IP, fools know there is a problem
② Server room IP bunching → all AWS/GCP IP segments, recognized in minutes
(iii) Forgot to clear browser fingerprints
→ Even if you change your IP address, the website will still recognize you by your canvas fingerprints. Recently helped a friend get a price comparison script with ipipgo'sDynamic Residential IP+ Random UA that ran for 72 hours straight without flipping. The key configuration looks like this: Q: Is it okay to use a free proxy? Q: What can I do if I encounter human verification? Q: Why do you recommend ipipgo? As a final rant, doing data collection is about afig. economy will get you a long wayThe first thing you need to do is to keep the request frequency within the range of normal human operation. Don't be greedy for fast, control the request frequency within the normal human operation range, with quality proxy IP service, this is the way to last. Just into the pit is recommended to use ipipgo's intelligent scheduling mode first, the system will automatically match the best IP strategy, save your heart!Practical skills: the case of e-commerce price monitoring
driver = WebDriver().firefox(
proxy_region='us', specify US IP
ua_type='mobile', UA for cell phones
headless=True headless mode is more stealthy
)
question-and-answer session
A: Brother, free is the most expensive! Those public proxy pools have long been reptiles play bad, with ipipgo exclusive IP pool is reliable, new users free 1G traffic to try it.
A: This has to match the IP quality, with ipipgo's high stash of IP can reduce the 80% verification probability. If you really encounter CAPTCHA, it is recommended to reduce the collection frequency appropriately.
A: Of course, we have to blow up our own products! Measured concurrency 200 threads, other IP survival rate less than 60%, ipipgo can maintain more than 95%, andNationwide unique per-request billing modelYou can use as much as you want without wasting it.
