Proxy Rotation: Automatic IP Switching Technology

What does proxy rotation really do?

Engaged in data collection friends understand that the same IP repeatedly access the site is like wearing the same clothes every day to the neighbor's house, sooner or later be recognized. Proxy rotation is to allow the program to automatically change the "clothes" technology, here the "clothes" is ipipgo provides a proxy IP pool. For example, e-commerce price comparison software to check the price of goods thousands of times an hour, with a fixed IP two minutes to be blocked, but with ipipgo's automatic rotation function, each request for a new IP, the site can not be found abnormal.

Three tricks to teach you to play the IP automatic switching

Tip #1: Timed switching is easiest, like setting an alarm for the program. For example, set the IP to change every 5 minutes, and use ipipgo's API to get the latest proxy at any time. This is suitable for timed tasks, but be careful not to change IP in the middle of the task, easy to lose data.

import requests
from ipipgo import get_proxy The SDK for ipipgo is called here.

def auto_switch().
    while True: proxy = get_proxy(type='https')
        proxy = get_proxy(type='https') get residential proxy
        get_proxy: while True: proxy = get_proxy(type='https')
             Here we perform the task with the new IP
            resp = requests.get('destination URL', proxies={'https': proxy})
            print('Current IP:', proxy, 'Capture successful')
        except.
            print('This IP may be blocked, change it now')

Tip #2: Switching by number of requests is more flexibleIt is suitable for high-frequency access scenarios. For example, set up every 50 requests to change IP, with ipipgo's concurrency package, can work with multiple IP alternately at the same time. Remember to set up the failure retry mechanism, encounter CAPTCHA automatically cut IP.

Tip #3: Smart switching saves you the most, ipipgo's unique technology. Their proxy pool automatically monitors IP quality, and when they notice a slow response or CAPTCHA, they automatically switch to a premium line within 0.5 seconds, which is 10 times faster than manual switching.

QA time: what you might want to ask

Q: Is it okay to use a free proxy? Why should I buy ipipgo?
A: The survival rate of free proxies in the market is less than 20%, and the survival rate of ipipgo's exclusive IP is 98.7%. Last week's test found that the free proxies failed after 10 requests on average, and ipipgo's IP can be used stably for more than 2 hours.

Q: What should I do if my account is blocked after switching IPs?
A: In this case, you need to use ipipgo's "session hold" function to use a fixed IP for important operations and a rotating IP for other operations, which is safe and does not affect the efficiency.

Q: How can I tell when it's time to change my IP?
A: These three signals appear to be changed: 1. page loading more than 8 seconds 2. the emergence of verification code 3. return 403 error code. ipipgo client comes with these monitoring functions, will be automatically processed.

Real-world tips: use this way to save the most money

Split ipipgo's IPs into three groups:
1. core groupSensitive operations such as logging in are handled by static residential IPs.
2. rotation scheme: General acquisition with dynamic data center IP
3. backup group: Retain 5 high-quality IP contingency
With this configuration, the monthly agent cost can be reduced by 40% and the stability is doubled.

Last reminder: don't write dead IP addresses in your code! Use ipipgo's API to get them dynamically, and their IP pool is updated every 5 minutes with 30% IPs so that websites don't catch the pattern.
