Temu Price Tracker: real-time discount monitoring tool

Why do I have to use a proxy IP for price monitoring?

Recently, a lot of friends doing cross-border are tossing Temu price monitoring, the results just grabbed two days of data account was blocked. This thing is like a gopher, you just find out the law platform to plug the hole. In fact, the fundamental problem isFrequent visits from fixed IPsThe platform is not stupid, see the same address every day to check the price of hundreds of times, not block you block who?

At this time it is necessary to rely on proxy IP to play guerrilla warfare. It's as if you've planted countless eyes in different cities, each of which helps you check the price once, and the platform simply can't tell if it's a real user or a monitoring program. In particular, like ipipgo, a service provider specializing in dynamic residential IP, their IP pools haveMillions of real home broadband addresses, grabbing data is the same as a real person swiping their cell phone.

Hands-on price tracker

Let's start with the simplest option, writing a monitoring script in Python. The point is toDifferent IP for each requestHere is a demonstration of how to automatically change IPs using ipipgo's API:

import requests
from time import sleep

def get_proxy().
     Get dynamic residential proxy from ipipgo
    return {
        'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
        'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
    }

while True.
    try: resp = requests.get('', 'https', '')
        resp = requests.get('https://www.temu.com/api/prices', proxies=get_proxy(,), proxies=get_proxy(,))
                          proxies=get_proxy(), timeout=10))
                          timeout=10)
         Parsing price data...
        print('Caught the latest price!')
        sleep(300) check every 5 minutes
    except Exception as e.
        print(f'Error: {e}')
        sleep(60)

The key points are in these places:

1. Choose the right type of agentDon't use data center IPs, use residential IPs. ipipgo's residential proxies are real home broadband, much more reliable than those server room IPs.
2. Reasonable switching frequency: Don't be silly to cut the IP every second, according to the target site's anti-climbing strategy to adjust, generally 5-10 minutes to change a safer!
3. Timeout settings are important: Set a 10-second timeout, retry immediately when you get stuck, don't let the program die!

The Three Pitfalls of Choosing a Proxy Service Provider

There are many proxy service providers on the market, but 90% are not suitable for price monitoring. According to our real test experience, pay attention to these doorways:

Special Note: Many agents will putData Center IP Sold as Residential IPThe ASN type of true residential IPs are all ISPs (Internet Service Providers), while the ASN type of data centers is DCH (Data Center Hosting).

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Recently, a customer made a typical mistake when using our service: he set 1 IP switch per second, which triggered the platform's risk control. The correct posture should be:

1. Simulation of real-life operating rhythms: Add random wait times to the visit intervals, don't be punctual like a robot!
2. Fake browser fingerprints: Randomly switching User-Agents with a tool like selenium
3. Classified monitoring strategy: Hourly checks on key commodities, daily checks on general commodities, don't just take it one way or the other.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if my proxy IP is slow?
A: Choose a geographic location close to the target server, for example, to monitor Temu's U.S. site, choose the U.S. West IP. ipipgo's intelligent routing function can automatically match the best node

Q: What should I do if I encounter CAPTCHA?
A: Residential IP + real person operation mode can reduce 90% CAPTCHA, the rest can use ipipgo's automatic CAPTCHA cracking service (need to buy extra)

Q: How can I verify if the agent is in effect?
A: Visit https://ip.ipipgo.com/checkip to see the currently used exit IP and geographic location

Tell the truth.

It's like a cat and mouse game when it comes to price monitoring. Last year, a customer with an ordinary proxy, three days and two days was blocked, and then changed the ipipgo dynamic residential IP, with ourIntelligent Rotation Strategy, more than half a year without a problem. This line of work is to fight is whose agent resources are better quality, whose strategy is closer to the real user behavior.

Lastly, I would like to remind newbies: don't buy those 0.1 knife/IP garbage proxies on the cheap, the loss of being blocked can be much higher than the proxy fee. It is better to find an agent like ipipgo that can provide you withReal Residential IPThe service provider that is really a money-saving program.
