TikTok Data Grabber: Video Metadata Collection

Hands-On Tutorial to Catch TikTok Video Data with Proxy IPs

The old iron who has engaged in data collection understands that if you directly use your own IP to glean platform data, you will be blocked in minutes and not recognize your own mother. Especially for platforms like TikTok, which are as sensitive as radar to abnormal access. Recently, I helped a friend get a video metadata collector and found that using proxy IP is the law of true fragrance.

Why is your collector always blocked?

Platform risk control looks at three main indicators:Request frequency, IP anomalies, device fingerprintsThis is the most important thing for the newbie. A lot of newbies are most likely to fall on the IP problem - using a fixed IP to continuously send requests, not half an hour quasi-break. Once I used my own home broadband IP test, just grabbed 200 pieces of data on the 403 error, change 4G network and continue, this is a typical symptom of IP blocked.

Proxy IP Configuration

Take the Python requests library as an example, and use the ipipgo proxy service as a demo. The key is to set up theproxiesparameters, remember to replace the account password with your own:

import requests

def get_video_info(video_id):
    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 = {
        "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36..."
    }
    url = f "https://api.tiktok.com/item/detail/?itemId={video_id}"
    response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, headers=headers)
    return response.json()

 Example of use
print(get_video_info("7185834567891234567"))

Focused attention:

1. Randomly switch proxy IPs before each request (recommended to use ipipgo's auto-switching API)
2. Set a random delay of 3-5 seconds, don't send requests continuously like a machine gun!
3. Different country IPs should be paired with the corresponding language version of the request header

Proxy IP Selection Guide to Avoid Pitfalls

There are all sorts of proxy services on the market, and the real test down these parameters must be dead on:

• ✔️ Anonymous Rank: MandatoryHigh Stash Agents(Don't use transparent proxies.)
• ✔️ Response rate: less than 800ms to be used
• ❌ Avoiding shared IP pools: easy to run into contaminated IP segments

Here's an encore of ipipgo'sDynamic Residential AgentsThe success rate of the capture can be 98%. Their IP pool is updated every day with 200,000+ residential IPs, and each session automatically changes IPs, which simply does not give the platform a chance to ban them. In particular, the intelligent routing function can automatically match the export IP of the region where the target server is located, and the collection efficiency is directly doubled.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Why is it still blocked after using a proxy?
A: 80% of the time, it doesn't deal with cookies and device fingerprints. It is recommended to clear cookies synchronously every time you change IP, and use different browser fingerprints to disguise.

Q: What is the appropriate acquisition frequency control?
A: Don't make more than 150 requests per hour from a single IP. It's best to work with ipipgo's concurrency interface to divert requests from multiple IPs at the same time.

Q: How do I break the CAPTCHA when I encounter it?
A: Immediately stop the collection of the current IP and reduce the collection frequency after switching to a new IP. In case of emergency, you can use ipipgo's CAPTCHA dedicated IP, the success rate will be higher.

Q: Do I need to maintain the proxy IP myself?
A: Never use a free proxy! Leave the professional things to the professionals, like ipipgo commercial services with automatic IP detection and replacement mechanism, than to maintain their own much more efficient.

As a final rant, data collection is about"Slow work makes perfect work."I have a customer who wants data urgently. Before a customer in a hurry to data, open 10 threads fierce grip, the results of half an hour waste of 30 IP. later changed to use ipipgo intelligent rate control, with 2 seconds of random delay, steady running for three days are not blocked. Remember: the platform wind control is not faster than anyone's hand speed, but more like a real person than anyone else.
