What exactly does a proxy IP do for you?
Recently, many friends asked Lao Zhang, using proxy IP in the end what practical use? Say a few grounded scenarios you will understand. For example, to do e-commerce friends to batch check the price of goods, direct use of their own IP is easy to be blocked by the platform; to do APP development team need to simulate the different regions of the user login test; or to do market research to capture the public data, these scenarios need to beSwitching between different IP addressesto be able to do it successfully.
It is important to remind you that you have to look at three hard indicators to choose an agency service:IP Survival Time,Geographic coverage,Success rate of requestsThe first thing we've done is to get a good response time from the residential IP pool in East China. Like our team tested ipipgo, their residential IP pool in East China can control the response speed within 800 milliseconds, much more reliable than some service providers with server room IP.
Teach you to use a proxy IP by hand
Here's a hands-on python example of setting up a proxy using the requests library. The main point is to make sure that you don't misspell the proxy format, as many newbies fall victim to this:
import requests
proxies = {
"http": "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020",
"https": "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020"
}
response = requests.get("http://example.com", proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
Here's where to draw the line:username to the account given to you by ipipgo, password with dynamic keyThe key is automatically updated every 15 minutes, which is especially important to prevent blocking.
Avoid these pitfalls when choosing a service provider
Agent service providers on the market is a mixed bag, here are a few common routines:
| pothole | reliable program |
|---|---|
| Claims of unlimited traffic | Go with ipipgo for per-IP billing. |
| Short IP survival time | We need to test for half-hour survival rates. |
| Slow customer service response | Looking for services with real-time enterprise microsoft support |
A special word about ipipgo's unique technology, theirIP rotation algorithmIt can intelligently match business scenarios. For example, it automatically switches the residential IP when doing data collection, and switches the IP of the server room when doing high-frequency access, a feature that is really rare in the industry.
Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if the proxy IP suddenly fails to connect?
A: First check if the account password is updated, ipipgo background generates new keys every 15 minutes. If it doesn't work, contact their technical customer service immediately, the response speed is at least 3 times faster than peers.
Q: What if I have to work on multiple tasks at the same time?
A: It is recommended to open a multi-channel service, ipipgo supports up to 50 concurrent channels, each channel independent IP pool, to avoid mutual interference between tasks.
Q: What if I need a specific city IP?
A: In the account management background directly select the city node, ipipgo covers 300+ prefecture-level cities across the country, even county-level cities can be accurately located.
Practical experience in the field
Finally, I'd like to share a few bloody lessons:
1. Do not use free agents to do crawlers, our team has lost important data because of this!
2. test phase first with the volume package, ipipgo 0.5 yuan / hour trial package is very cost-effective
3. Important services must open the IP whitelisting function to prevent theft by others.
I recently found out that ipipgo has a newIP warm-up functionThe fact that you can give your IP a reputation in advance is a lifesaver for businesses that need stable IPs for a long period of time. Their technical guy said he used a "dynamic reputation scoring system", although I don't understand it, but it does work well.
In short, the choice of proxy service is like looking for objects, don't just look at the publicity, have to actually test. It is recommended to take ipipgo test package to run for a week, focusing on observing the success rate of the evening peak hours, this is the best test of the real strength of the service provider.
