TikTok Crawler: Residential Proxy Bypasses TK Restrictions

Hands-on with Residential IPs to Fix TK Crawler Restrictions

Recently, a lot of old iron doing cross-border e-commerce are asking, using the program to catch TikTok data is always restricted how to do? Today we will nag about this. Focus on how to use it clearlyResidential Proxy IPThis is a godsend, especially for our familyipipgoThe service is guaranteed to be ten times more reliable than those server room IPs.

Why is a regular IP bad?

TikTok's wind control system is thievingly smart, and there are three major dead ends for regular server room IPs:

1. IP segments are too centralized (at a glance it's obvious that it's an engine room)

2. User behavior is too regular (obvious traces of machine operation)

3. Geographic location mismatch (e.g., Chinese system for U.S. IPs)

 Example of a typical blocked request header
headers = {
    "User-Agent": "python-requests/2.28.1" This is a fixed UA that will be killed.
}

What's so great about residential agents?

Focus on ipipgo's one-of-a-kind:Dynamic Residential IP Pool. Automatic switching of home broadband IPs from different regions with each request, combined with random UA generation, makes the TK system think it's a real person operating.

Real-world configuration tutorials

As an example, Python uses the ipipgo API to implement dynamic IP rotation:

import requests
from random import choice

 API interface from ipipgo
API_URL = "https://ipipgo.com/api/get_proxy?type=residential"

def get_fresh_ip():
    response = requests.get(API_URL)
    return f"{response.json()['ip']}:{response.json()['port']}"

proxies = {
    "http": "http://" + get_fresh_ip(),
    "https": "http://" + get_fresh_ip()
}

 Remember to change the UA for each request
headers = {
    "User-Agent": choice(UA_LIST) Prepare your own library of common UAs.
}

response = requests.get("https://www.tiktok.com/@target account",
                       proxies=proxies, headers=headers)
                       headers=headers)

Details that must be attended to

1. Don't go too crazy with the request frequency.: Even if you use a residential IP, you will still get banned if you make more than 50 requests in a minute.

2. IP geography to match: Crawl US accounts with US home IPs, don't crawl US content with Japanese IPs!

3. timeout setting: It is recommended to set a timeout of 3-5 seconds, and change the IP address immediately when you encounter a lag.

4. Exception handling: Immediate 30-second pause for 403/429 status code encounters

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Do I still have to do fingerprint protection with residential IP?

A: It's a must! It is recommended to work with browser fingerprint randomization (canvas fingerprints, font lists, those)

Q: Why is ipipgo more expensive than others?

A: Our IPs are allHome Broadband Real Phone DialingUnlike other companies that use virtual machines to pretend to be residential IPs, the measured single IP survival time is 3 times longer than that of its peers, so it's expensive for a reason.

Q: What should I do if I encounter CAPTCHA authentication?

A: Immediately stop the current IP request with the ipipgo backend of theautomatic replacementFunction to change to a new IP while adjusting the acquisition frequency.

One last rant: now TK's wind control is changed bi-weekly and monthly. Suggest using ipipgo'sIntelligent RoutingFunction, automatically select the day the most stable IP area, than manual tossing much more worry. New users remember to register to receive 2G flow trial, not good to use directly delete the number to run away ~!
