HTTP Cookie: Session Management Mechanisms and Crawler Handling Strategies

When the Crawler Meets the Cookie Jar: The Offense and Defense of Session Tracking

Brothers who do data collection all understand that the small cookie called Cookie on the website is like a dog skin plaster that can't be shaken off. If you log in with a different IP address, the server will still recognize you.Because the cookie hides your ID number.This thing automatically logs login status, browsing history, and makes the crawler dance in shackles. This thing automatically logs login status, browsing tracks, and makes the crawler program look like it's dancing in shackles.

Three Tough Tips for Shredding Tracking Labels

Here are three tricks to teach you how to break the game, starting with the most tangible:

1. Regular cleaning of cookie crumbs: Starting the browser in untraceable mode before each request is like getting new clothes every time you go out. With Python's requests library you can mess with this:

session = requests.Session()
session.cookies.clear()

2. Mixing real and fake cookies: Collect cookie samples from real users and mix them randomly like a cocktail. Be careful to match the geographic location of the IP, for example, use the IP of Hangzhou to match the cookies of Zhejiang users.

3. Invisibility + Diversion package: This is where our ipipgo Dynamic Residential Proxy comes in. TheirMega IP PoolComes with browser fingerprinting disguise, each connection automatically changes the cookie storage environment, the server can not tell whether it is a real person or a program.

The details of the tawdry operation in the actual battle

Ever encountered an e-commerce platform's anti-crawl? Their home cookies will secretly poke and prod to record the mouse movement track. This time have to usedual insurance strategy::

① First, use ipipgo's short-lived proxy (5-minute change) to log in.
② Change the long-lasting proxy (2 hours) to perform data capture.
③ Insert random intervals between key actions to disguise the rhythm of human operations.

There is a price comparison system customer feedback, with this method after the collection of success rate from 37% directly soared to 89%, but also by the platform misjudged as a high-quality user to give accelerated access, you say angry people?

A guide to avoiding the pitfalls of the white man

Q：Why do I still get blocked even if I use a proxy IP?
A: Ninety percent of the reason is that cookies are not cleaned up, remember to empty the local storage at the same time every time you change the IP. ipipgo client comes with aEnvironment reset functionIt saves a lot of work to check this box.

Q: How to choose between dynamic and static proxies?
A: do registration login choose static (keep session), data collection with dynamic (anti-tracking). ipipgo's backend can be set upIntelligent switching mode, which is automatically provisioned based on the type of business.

Q: What should I do if I encounter a CAPTCHA storm?
A: Enable in proxy settingsgeofenceFunction to lock the IP to the city where the target server is located. ipipgo supports precise location to the district and county, which can effectively reduce the CAPTCHA trigger rate.

Putting a cloak of invisibility on the code

Finally, I'll share a Python configuration template, remember to replace it with your ipipgo account information:

proxies = {
  "http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口",
  "https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
}

headers = {
  "Cookie": "Random value grabbed from a real person's environment",
  "User-Agent": "Match the device model where the IP is located"
}

resp = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, headers=headers, timeout=30)

This set of combination punches down, even Ali Tencent's anti-climbing system must be confused. But be careful.Don't be greedy.The frequency of requests is controlled, after all, it's good to see each other in the future.
