How Proxy IPs Can Help You Mine Keyword Gold in Google Trends?

SEO know, Google Trends data is like a weather forecast, can tell you in advance which keywords to fire. But the official API will give you 500 requests per day, and you want to monitor hundreds of keywords in bulk? There is no door! This time to rely on proxy IP to break the game.

Last year, there is a do pet supplies old brother, with ordinary crawler to catch the trend data, the results of three days on the blocked more than 20 IP. later changed to useDynamic Residential Proxy for ipipgo, equipped with an automatic switching mechanism, ran for two months straight without flipping. Here's the point:Choosing the right type of agent is more important than the technical meansThe

 Python Example - Basic Request Configuration

Four tips to teach you to use proxy IP without stepping on the pitfalls

1. Don't use the data center IPGoogle is particularly sensitive to the IP of the server room, the success rate of residential agents is at least 3 times higher!
2. The switching frequency should be like a heartbeat: It is recommended to switch IPs every 5-10 requests. ipipgo's API supports switching by second.
3. The location has to be realistic.: Use US IP to monitor US trends, don't use the whole Vietnam IP to check English keywords.
4. Failure to retry. Don't fight it.The 429 status code is dormant for 15 minutes, so don't hit it with your head in a row.

The tawdry operation summarized in the actual battle

- Adding a "Referer: https://www.google.com" in the request header can reduce the probability of a ban.
