How proxy IPs can help you pull the wool over LinkedIn's data?
Old drivers who engage in data collection understand that LinkedIn is like a gold mine, but digging directly is blocked in minutes. This is the time to rely onResidential Proxy IPto cover up - the equivalent of cloaking you in a cloak of invisibility so that the site thinks you're a normal user slipping in.
For example, if you use the IP of the server room to scan the data, LinkedIn's security system (anti-climbing mechanism) will immediately turn on the red light. But with ipipgo's residential proxy, the IPs are real home broadband, so it's like mixing in a crowd of shoppers, and the security guards won't even notice.
Why does it have to be a residential agent?
There are three types of common agents in the market, let's go directly to the comparison table:
| typology | tempo | covert | Applicable Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|
| Server Room Agents | lightning fast | weakling | vote rigging |
| Mobile Agent | fleeting (of quick passage time) | moderate | APP Data Capture |
| Residential Agents | steady as a dog | King level | Long-term data acquisition |
ipipgo's pool of residential agents is particularly large, with nodes in 200+ countries around the world, and when collecting remember toIP change every 5-10 minutes, don't catch an IP and use it to death.
Hands on teaching you to match ip ipgo proxy
Here's a Python example, note the comments section:
import requests
API information copied from ipipgo backend
proxy = "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口号"
Masquerade as a proper browser
headers = {
'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0) AppleWebKit/537.36...'
}
Here's the kicker! Setting up the proxy
response = requests.get(
'https://www.linkedin.com/company/microsoft',
proxies={'http': proxy, 'https': proxy},
headers=headers,
timeout=30
)
Be careful to set the timeout longer... Residential agents occasionally jerk around...Don't go below 30 seconds.If you encounter a CAPTCHA, it is recommended to stop for 10 minutes and try again. If you encounter a CAPTCHA, we recommend stopping for 10 minutes or so and trying again.
Collection of practical guide to avoid pitfalls
1. Don't bite off more than you can chew.: Don't collect more than 50 pages at a time, clear cookies before changing IPs
2. You have to work and rest regularly.: Set random interval time, fluctuating between 0.5 and 3 seconds
3. The disguise has to be complete.: User-Agent, resolution, and time zone should follow the IP location.
4. Don't fight the validation.: with ipipgo'sautomatic switchingFunction, automatic IP change when CAPTCHA is detected
Data Cleaning Tips
The raw data captured looks like a stew. It needs to be processed:
- Filtering Special Symbols with Regular Expressions
- Remember to harmonize units in the company size field (e.g., convert "10,000+" to 10,000).
- Job locations are second-checked with IP attributes from ipipgo
