Social Media Crawling Proxy: Social Media Platform Data Collection Proxy IPs

Why do I have to use a proxy IP for social media data capture?

Engaged in social media data collection know that the platform anti-climbing mechanism is stricter than the cell access control. Take a blue bird platform, 20 consecutive requests for the same interface, minutes for you to play the verification code. This time the proxy IP is likeA magician who changes faces.The platform does not recognize the same collector when it changes its "face" every time a request is made.

Recently, a friend who does data analysis for Netflix complained to me that their team used local IP to grab data, and the account was blocked for three months. Then they changed to use ipipgo's dynamic residential proxy.Survival rate directly doubled. How does it work? It's really quite simple:

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
    'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}

response = requests.get('https://api.twitter.com/v2/tweets', proxies=proxies)

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Five common mistakes newbies make:

2. Forget to set the request interval (3-8 seconds randomly is recommended)
3. Use free proxies (99% are used badly by others)
4. No request header masquerading (remember to bring User-Agent)
5. Single-threaded acquisition (concurrency controlled to less than 5)

Here's a recommendation from ipipgoIntelligent Routing FunctionThe first one is that it can automatically match the optimal exit node. Last week, when helping customers debugging, found that they use the default configuration to collect INS, the success rate is only 40%, after turning on the intelligent route directly soared to 92%, the effect is immediately visible.
