Why is Google Trends data always jerky? Try a New Approach for Residential Agents
The old iron engaged in data analysis must have encountered this situation: using Google Trends to check the heat of keywords, today it shows that the United States users love to search for "hot pot", and tomorrow the data will become more concerned about the Brazilian "barbecue meat". This kind ofdata driftIt's not Google jerking around, it's your network environment being recognized as a data center IP.
Ordinary proxies are like packaged goods in a wholesale market, with hundreds of IP addresses all crammed into the same server room. Google Trends' anti-crawler mechanism sees this kind ofServer Room IP Cluster Access, immediately watering down the data or just blocking it. That's when it's time toResidential AgentsThis "private customization" service, each IP corresponds to the real home broadband, the success rate of data collection directly pull full.
Hands on with loading ipipgo proxies into code
Using Python as an example, it's actually super easy to interface with the Google Trends API using ipipgo's residential proxy. The point is to bury the request header inFingerprint CamouflageHere's a tip: remember to add an 'Accept-Language' parameter to the headers to make the server think you're operating as a local user.
import requests
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 = {
'Accept-Language': 'en-US,en;q=0.9'
}
response = requests.get(
'https://trends.google.com/trends/api/your-endpoint'.
proxies=proxies,
headers=headers
)
Note that putting the code in theUsername/PasswordReplace it with your own key generated in the ipipgo backend, and it is recommended to select theStatic Residential Agentspackage, the same IP can be kept for 7 days without changing, to avoid frequent replacement of IP triggers wind control.
A guide to avoiding the pitfalls of data collection (table comparison version)
| General Agent | ipipgo residential agent | |
|---|---|---|
| IP Type | Server room bulk IP | Real Home Broadband |
| Success rate of requests | 40%-60% | 95%+ |
| Data Stability | constant fluctuation | Continuous Precision |
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Can't I use a free agent? Why should I pay for it?
A: Free agents have long been blacked out by major platforms, and may steal data. ipipgo's agent poolHourly update 20%IP, which ensures freshness without a wholesale change.
Q: How to control the frequency of API calls?
A: Recommendations5-10 seconds/repeatRequest intervals with ipipgo'sIntelligent Rotationfunction, the system will automatically switch the optimal IP, which is much more hassle-free than manual adjustment.
Q: How big a traffic package do I need to buy?
A: If you are doing keyword monitoring, pick10GB/Month Basic Packenough; if you do industry big data analysis, go straight to the100GB Enterprise EditionThe large volume also has a dedicated customer service interface.
Finally, a piece of cold industry knowledge: Google Trends for the same keywords in different regions.Data Sampling AlgorithmIt will be different. Use ipipgo'sCity-level location agentsIt can accurately obtain the raw data of the target area, which is more than one level more reliable than the data grabbed from the whole network.
