Free Proxy List: Daily updated pool of available IPs

Teach you to play the free agent these pitfalls must not step on

Recently, some friends who do data collection have complained to me that nine out of ten free proxies found on the Internet don't work. This is something I know too well, last year to do the crawler project, the light test proxy IP will be tossed off half a month. Today with the gang nagging how to free agents in the mire of gold, by the way, Amway a reliable paid program.

Free Agent Survival Guide

Let's start with the cold fact that the average survival time of a free agent is only2-7 hours. My common method is to go to GitHub at 8:00 am, 3:00 pm, and 11:00 pm to pick up the latest list. Remember to bring the port number together to grab, last time a buddy just copy the IP did not bring the port, white toss all day.

Verify that the proxy is available gender silly to measure with a browser, recommend a wild card:

import requests
proxies = {'http': '123.45.67.89:8080'}
try.
    r = requests.get('http://httpbin.org/ip', proxies=proxies, timeout=5)
    print(f "Available IP: {r.json()['origin']}")
except.
    print("This IP is cool.")

Proxy IP Care Tips

Free agents are like keeping a cactus, you have to pace your watering:

1. rotation frequency: Force IP change every 20 minutes, don't wait until you get blocked!
2. Geographic selection：做国内业务尽量选本省IP，能降40%
3. anomaly monitoring: Set up automatic alarms and immediately pull the plug on 3 consecutive failed requests.

QA time

Q: Why can't I use any of the agents I found?
A: Normal phenomenon! Free proxy survival rate would have been less than 10%, it is recommended to use our ipipgo's real-time verification interface to automatically update the available IP library every hour.

Q: What if I need to manage multiple agents at the same time?
A: We recommend trying ipipgo'sIntelligent Routing FunctionIt can automatically assign proxies according to the type of business. For example, crawling pictures with a low anonymous proxy and grabbing data with a high stash of IPs saves a lot of work compared to switching manually.

The Ultimate Solution

Honestly, you really need to use a professional service for serious projects. Like ipipgo they have aDynamic Residential IP PoolIt can be used for up to 6 hours per IP, which is especially suitable for the business that requires long-term stable connection. The last time I helped a customer to do public opinion monitoring, it ran for 72 hours without dropping the line, so it really has two brushes.
