Instagram Post Capture Tool: Social Media Capture

A. Why is catching Ins posts always blocked?

Anyone who has done Ins data crawling understands that the biggest headache is theThe account was somehow blockedThe first thing I'd like to say is that I don't know how to do this. Last week, a friend who did the analysis of the tide with me to complain: just run two days of scripts, the studio to raise the 20 numbers all hung up. In fact, this thing is not to blame for the collection tool, the root cause isPlatforms monitor fixed IPs too hardThe

Imagine you're stalking the same person at the mall for more than 3 hours, who will the security guards call if not you?The same reasoning goes for Ins's wind control system. The solution is simple--Make each request look like a real user in a different region and on a different deviceI'm sorry. And here comes our savior.ipipgo Dynamic Residential Proxy, and will teach exactly how to use it later.

Second, the white can handle the agent configuration

Let's start with a counterintuitive conclusion:It's better to use free proxies than no proxies at all.I've tested 17 free proxies in the market last year. After testing 17 free proxies on the market last year, 90% couldn't even hold up to the Ins login page. Recommended to go directly toipipgoThe residential proxy package, their IP pool is updated with 200,000+ addresses per day, pro-tested for 48 hours of continuous collection without triggering verification.

import requests
from itertools import cycle

 List of proxies from the ipipgo backend
proxies = [
    "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.io:3000",
    "http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.io:3001".
     ... Prepare at least 10 proxies
]

proxy_pool = cycle(proxies)

for _ in range(100):
    current_proxy = next(proxy_pool)
    try: current_proxy = next(proxy_pool)
        response = requests.get(
            'https://www.instagram.com/api/v1/feed/user/username/', proxies={"http": current_proxy}, current_proxy_pool
            proxies={"http": current_proxy},
            timeout=10
        )
         Processing data logic...
    except Exception as e.
        print(f "Rollover with {current_proxy}, automatically switching to next IP")

Note three key points:
1. Proxy address with account password (ipipgo can generate it in the background)
2. Set the timeout to no more than 15 seconds.
3. Randomly sleep for 1-3 seconds after each request

Third, the collection of tools how to choose not to step on the pit

There are two types of tools on the market:
Browser Automation Pie(like Selenium/Puppeteer): suitable for scenarios where scrolling needs to be simulated, but eats configuration
Direct Transfer API Pie(e.g. the requests library): fast but easily blocked

It is recommended that newcomers first practice with ready-made tools, here are the recommendationsInsDataCrawler(Free for non-commercial use). Ways to configure the ipipgo proxy:

Fourth, anti-blocking practical skills

Name a few details that are easy to overlook:
1. Don't use Chinese IP.(Even if you are in China), give priority to European and American residential IPs.
2. Maximum of 50 requests per proxy IP
3. Higher success rate of collection between 3 and 6 a.m. (time zone of target area)
4. In conjunction with ipipgo'sIP Rotation ModelAutomatic switching of exit nodes

The strangest case I've encountered: someone was recognized because all requests came from Windows, and later turned on the ipipgo backend toDevice fingerprint randomizationThe function is only resolved.

V. First aid kits for common problems

Q: Obviously I used a proxy and still got blocked?
A: Check to see if WebRTC leaks are turned on in your browser (use the detection tool provided by ipipgo to find out)

Q: What should I do if the agent is too slow?
A: In the ipipgo console to change the protocol from HTTP to SOCKS5, the speed can be faster 40%

Q: What if I need to capture video?
A: Use their homeVideo Dedicated ChannelIf the bandwidth is 100Mbps, remember to download in segments.

VI. Speak the truth

I've seen too many people spend a lot of money on acquisition tools but can't be bothered to invest in an agent. In factQuality of representation directly determines the success or failure of a project, instead of tossing the free plan and wasting time, why not just go on ipipgo's monthly subscription? Recently they had an event where they gave 5GB of traffic to new users, enough to test small projects.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that you should follow the rules of the platform to collect data, and don't touch the users' private content. Encounter technical problems can be directly knocked ipipgo customer service, reply speed than some big manufacturers faster than the last time I asked a question at two o'clock in the morning actually seconds back...
