Why are Peruvian agents the meat and potatoes of the South American e-commerce scene?
In the last two years, a lot of cross-border e-commerce iron found a strange phenomenon - obviously store decoration is quite beautiful, advertising costs also smashed a lot, but the actual turnover is not up. Later peeled open the data and found that the shopping habits of the local people and we think completely two different things. This time to use the Peruvian local proxy IP toRealistic simulation of local user behaviorIt's much more reliable to see the real product sorting and promotions just like the locals do when they go shopping.
To cite a chestnut, a mother and baby store in Lima last year with ordinary IP to capture data, get out of the pricing than the local supermarkets expensive 30%, and then replaced with dynamic residential IP to re-capture, only to find that people offline stores often engage in the "buy three cans of milk powder to send diapers" fancy promotions, these hidden play web page side simply can not see all.
There are three major pitfalls to avoid when choosing a proxy IP
The market is full of agency service providers, but if you really want to do business in Peru, you have to keep your eyes peeled:
Typical characteristics of a bad proxy (don't touch it)
1. IP segments are all data center numbers (such as 190.12.xxx.xxx)
2. check whois information shows that in the United States or the Netherlands registration
3. access to the local site loaded more than 8 seconds
Last year, a Chilean market dude bought a batch of shared IPs on the cheap, and the collection triggered MercadoLibre's anti-climbing mechanism, and the store was directly blocked for three months, and the loss was enough to buy ten years of high-quality proxies.
| Agent Type | Applicable Scenarios | price range |
|---|---|---|
| Static homes | Long-term store operations | $$$ |
| Dynamic Residential | Data acquisition/comparison | $$ |
| Server Room IP | ad hoc test | $ |
Hands on data messing with ipipgo
Here's a chestnut with ipipgo's Peruvian Dynamic Residential Proxy, whose IP pool understands the South American market better:
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:24000',
'https': 'http://user:pass@proxy.ipipgo.com:24000'
}
resp = requests.get('https://www.mercadolibre.com.pe', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
Remember to set the random UA header, not the default requests header
test sth.IP Survival CycleIt's important that some agents claim to be dynamic but drop out in half an hour, ipipgo's can run stably for 4-6 hours, which is critical for businesses that need to monitor price fluctuations over a long period of time.
Old driver common overturn scene QA
Q: Will my account be blocked if I collect with a proxy?
A: focus on IP quality, ipipgo's proxy pool with automatic rotation, with a reasonable request interval (recommended 15-30 seconds), we have a customer to collect three consecutive months did not trigger the wind control
Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?
A: Never! Raising your own IP pool can drive you crazy with just the renewal and maintenance, but using a ready-made dynamic service saves you a lot of heartache. Last time I saw a team build their own proxy server, the result is that Peruvian operators suddenly recovered IP segments, the whole project directly stopped for two weeks!
Q: How can I verify if the proxy is a real Peruvian IP?
A: Don't believe the service provider's boasts, use maxmind database to check the geographic location yourself, or visit thewww.whatismyip.com.peThis local testing station
Why do you recommend ipipgo?
The Peruvian node in this house has three great things going for it:
1. Coverage of 15 cities from Lima to Arequipa
2. Supports seamless switching between SOCKS5 and HTTP protocols
3. Exclusive IP health monitoring system (automatically rejects flagged IPs)
Last month to help customers do Falabella platform data migration, with other agents always card CAPTCHA, change ipipgo after the success rate from 47% directly soared to 92%. more cattle is theirIP Positioning AccuracyIt can be done at the community level, and the collection of home furnishing categories can accurately obtain data on popular styles in different regions.
Finally, a big truth: do not believe that those 9.9 monthly proxy, Peru local bandwidth costs there, reliable service at least $0.5/IP from. ipipipgo is not the cheapest, but the victory in the ability toRealistic simulation of local network environmentAfter all, bad decisions caused by inaccurate data can be much more expensive than agency fees.
