Financial Data Corporation: Residential Agents Access to Stock Market Information

The Hidden Benefits of Residential Proxies in Stock Market Data Scraping

The brothers who engage in financial data understand, directly with their own servers to glean exchange data, a minute will be blocked IP. this time residential agent is like a cross-dresser, each request is changed into a different "clothes", so that the target site thought it was an ordinary user in the market. ipipgo home residential agent pool is ridiculously large, especially the compatibility of the world's major exchanges, the real test is much more stable than those small workshop agent. The compatibility of ipipgo with major exchanges around the world has been tested to be much more stable than those of the smaller proxies.

To cite a real case: last year there was a quantitative team with a common server room IP to catch the U.S. stock data, the results of 3 hours was blocked 23 times. After switching to ipipgo's Dynamic Residential Proxy, the team was blocked 23 times in 3 hours.Success rate of 98% for 48 consecutive hours of requestsThe key is that their IP switching rhythm is particularly natural, unlike some agents who change their IPs as if they were jerking off, which is easy to be targeted by the wind control.

Three Tips to Fix Your Proxy Configuration

Don't be intimidated by the technical documentation, it's really just three steps to configure the proxy:

 Python example (remember to change to your own ipipgo key)
import requests

proxy = {
    "http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口",
    "https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
}

response = requests.get("target data interface", proxies=proxy, timeout=10)

Watch out for two potholes: 1.Don't set the timeout for more than 15 secondsThe frequency of requests from different exchanges should be controlled separately, for example, the A-share interface should not exceed 3 times per second, and the U.S. stock market can be appropriately relaxed to 5 times.

Guide to selecting a proxy service provider to avoid the pitfalls

Q: How are agents assigned to collect data from multiple markets at the same time?
A: Remember this principle:Different exchanges go to different geographic nodesFor example, picking Hong Kong stocks with Hong Kong residential IP, catching U.S. stocks with Texas/New York IP. ipipgo backend can be directly automatically assigned by the location of the exchange, no need to manually cut.

Q: Instead of collecting data in the early morning, the success rate decreases?
A: This is a typical timestamp trap! Many risk control systems will detect unusual requests during non-trading hours. It is recommended to set this in ipipgoIntelligent Work and Rest ModeThe request frequency is automatically reduced during non-trading hours to keep pace with the human investor's operations.
