Brazilian Agent: Localized Access to MercadoLibre

What do Brazilian proxies really do? Let's take a real-life scenario

Lao Zhang in Yiwu to do small commodity wholesale business, recently wanted to develop the South American market. I heard that MercadoLibre (Mercado) is the largest e-commerce platform in Latin America, the results after registering an account to find a strange thing - with the domestic network login backstage, the product details page to load half a minute, upload product images eight times out of ten failed.

It's like when you try to do local business with a foreign cell phone number, and the business office system always treats you as a suspicious person. At this time if there is aBrazilian local IP addressThis is equivalent to handing the website system a "local resident identity card", and the data loading speed immediately goes up.

Localized Access in Three Steps (Hands-On Tutorial)

Step 1: Choose the right type of agent

 Example of setting up a proxy with Python (ipipgo-specific format)
import requests
proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@br.ipipgo.com:31000',
    'https': 'http://username:password@br.ipipgo.com:31000'
}
response = requests.get('https://www.mercadolivre.com.br', proxies=proxies)

Step 2: Pay attention to IP purity

Like ipipgo's.Residential Agent PackageThis parameter is especially critical, so don't be cheap and choose those that are not labeled.

Step 3: Simulate the rhythm of real operations

Don't use the program to swipe the interface, MercadoLibre's anti-crawl mechanism is very clever. It is recommended to set a random delay between operations, with reference to the speed of human operations:

• Page view: 3-8 seconds/page
• Image uploading: more than 15 seconds between individual pictures
• Price modification: no more than 5 per hour

A guide to avoiding lightning in common potholes

Recently, a customer used a certain proxy and the IP showed up in São Paulo but couldn't access the website. Later, he used ipipgo'sCity-level location agentsOnly then it was resolved and it turned out that MercadoLibre has a special traffic preference for IPs from Rio de Janeiro. Here are two tricks to teach you how to detect it:

1. Visit whoer.net to see if the DNS address matches Brazil
2. Use https://ipinfo.io/json查经纬度坐标

Practical Case: A Day in the Life of a Cross-Border Seller

A luggage seller in Hangzhou organizes his work in this way:

09:00 Switch St. Paul Residential IP (ipipgo node BR-003)
09:30 Batch upload new products (25 seconds between each)
14:00 Switch Rio Commercial IP (ipipgo node BR-017)
14:30 Check the effect of promotions
17:00 Respond to customer inquiries with Belo Horizonte IP (BR-009)

They use ipipgo'sMulti-city rotation strategyThe key to this is that the store is 40% more active than its peers, and the key to this is that it does not trigger the platform's wind control mechanism.

QA time (a selection of real user questions)

Q: What should I do if my account is still blocked after using a proxy?
A: Check three places: 1. Whether the browser location function is open 2. Computer time zone is Brazilian time 3. Payment method of the country settings (it is recommended to bind the Nubank virtual card)

Q: Do I need to buy more than one proxy package?
A: If it is a team operation, it is recommended to use ipipgo'sSub Account FunctionsA main account can be divided into 5 sub-numbers, each operator independent IP not serial number.

Q: How do I set up my cell phone?
A: Android users use the L2TP protocol (there is a tutorial in the backend of ipipgo), Apple phones are recommended to use Shadowrocket (remember to turn off the iCloud private relay)

Q: Why do you recommend ipipgo?
A: They have a self-built server room in Brazil, unlike others who are reselling AWS hosting. Measured in the evening peak (20:00 Brazilian time) access latency can be controlled within 150ms, which is especially important for grabbing promotional seats.
