Airbnb Review Dataset: Residential Agents Collect Rental Data

What to do with rental data when crawlers hit anti-crawlers?

Recently, a friend doing B&B analysis approached me to complain, saying that the use of ordinary crawlers to catch Airbnb listing data, just run two days on the account was blocked. We all understand this situation, now the platform anti-reptile mechanism with a security door like, ordinary means simply can not play. At this time, we have to offer our killer -Residential Proxy IPThe

Why Residential Agents Are the Key to Breaking the Mold

Proxy IPs on the market are mainly divided into three categories: server room IPs, data center IPs, and residential IPs, the first two of which are just like the plastic bags in the wholesale market, and the platforms are just as good as each other. Residential IP is assigned to real users by the operator, just like a cloak for the crawler. With ipipgo's residential proxy service, the success rate of the same target website request can soar from 30% to more than 95%.

import requests
from itertools import cycle

proxy_pool = cycle(ipipgo.get_proxy_list(type='residential')) Dynamically get residential IP pools

def get_listings(page):
    proxy = next(proxy_pool)
    try.
        res = requests.get(
            url=f'https://airbnb.com/listings?page={page}',
            proxies={'http': proxy, 'https': proxy}, timeout=10
            timeout=10
        )
        return res.json()
    except Exception as e.
        print(f "Request with {proxy} failed: {str(e)}")
        return None

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Engaging in data collection is like fighting a guerrilla war, you have to be strategic. Three points of blood and tears experience:

1. Rhythm of requests should be natural: Don't blitz like a machine gun, randomized intervals of 1-5 seconds, mimic real life browsing
2. User agents to be rotated: fingerprinting with different browsers, don't let the platform see that it's the same machine
3. Failure to handle intelligentlyDon't die when you encounter CAPTCHA, automatic IP cut is the way to go!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Demining Areas

Q: Why is the ipipgo proxy always more stable than others?
A: His family specializes in residential IP, IP pool are real home broadband, unlike some service providers to take the server room IP impersonation. Last time I measured five service providers at the same time, ipipgo's request success rate has remained above 90% for a long time.

Q: How exactly is the acquisition frequency controlled?
A: This depends on the strength of the platform's anti-climbing. It is recommended that newbies start with a "5 seconds/times" rhythm with ipipgo's smart switching strategy. If you find that the CAPTCHA is triggered, immediately cut the IP and reduce it to 10 seconds/times.

Q: How do I break the CAPTCHA when I encounter it?
A: Do not head iron hard just, immediately do three things: 1. clear cookies 2. replace UserAgent 3. switch ipipgo new IP. this set of combinations down, 90% authentication code can be bypassed.

Data security to be aware of

Lastly, it's good to use proxy IPs to collect data, but don't touch users' private information. Let's just be honest and collect publicly available listing features and reviews, which is both compliant and safe. ipipgo's service agreement also clearly states that it is forbidden to use it for illegal data collection, which is important to keep in mind.
