Proxy api: proxy IP API access service

Hands-on with proxy APIs to avoid network chokepoints

Now do data collection of friends understand, the site anti-crawler more and more strict. Last week, an e-commerce price comparison brother and I complained, just run two minutes script was blocked IP. this time to rely on the proxy IP API toDynamic switching of export IPs, to put it bluntly, is to make the site think that it is being operated by a different person each time it is accessed.

Take the ipipgo home service for example, they have a smart scheduling system. Sign up and get an API link like this:

https://api.ipipgo.com/get?key=你的密钥&count=5

This interface spits out 5 available proxies in a format that looks like this:

Code Practice: Python how to connect to the proxy pool

Don't be intimidated by the jargon, access is actually just three steps:

1. first install a requests library (will not install the Baidu search)
2. Write a function to get the proxy
3. Plugging proxies into request headers

Look at this sample code:

import requests

def get_proxy(): api_url =
    api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?key=你的密钥"
    resp = requests.get(api_url).json()
    return f"{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"

proxy = get_proxy()
response = requests.get("target site", proxies={"http": proxy})

pay attention toRegular change of agentsIt is recommended that you reacquire them every 5-10 requests. ipipgo's backend will automatically filter invalid IPs, which saves you a lot of effort compared to maintaining a proxy pool on your own.

Five must-know guidelines for avoiding pitfalls

I've compiled a list of common mistakes newbies make:

1. Don't reuse IPs: consecutive accesses from the same IP will be recognized
2. Note the protocol type: http and https proxies should be configured separately
3. timeout setting: It is recommended to set a timeout of 3-5 seconds, and change the IP address if it gets stuck.
4. Geographic selection: ipipgo supports selecting IPs by city, which is very useful when collecting local information.
5. usage forecast: Calculate in advance how many IPs you need per day and choose the right package!

QA Session: Frequently Asked Questions in One Place

Q: What should I do if my proxy IP suddenly fails?
A: ipipgo's API will automatically exclude the failed nodes, and reacquire them. It is recommended to work with the retry mechanism, which fails 3 times to change IP automatically.

Q: How do I break the CAPTCHA when I encounter it?
A: This is the time toReduced acquisition frequency, switching IPs from different regions at the same time. ipipgo's residential proxies have a higher pass rate for this scenario.

Q: How do I judge the quality of the agent?
A: Focus on three indicators: response speed (best within 200ms), survival rate (90% or more), and degree of anonymity. ipipgo has a real-time monitoring panel in the background, which allows you to see these data directly.

Why ipipgo?

There are a plethora of proxy service providers on the market, but those who have used them know that:
- exclusiveIP warm-up mechanism: New IPs will be tested for compliance before being warehoused
- Dynamic Intelligent Routing: Automatic selection of the fastest route
- 7×24 hours operation and maintenanceLast time I raised a work order at 2:00 in the middle of the night, it was resolved in 5 minutes.
- volumetric billing: How much you use, unlike some platforms that force you to sell packages.

Recently, they engaged in a new user free trial activity, register to send 500 quality IP. recommended that the first free quota test, the effect of satisfaction and then on the volume. After all, the agent of this thing, just look at the parameters are useless, the actual run up to know the fit is not useful.
