api proxy: proxy API interface service

Hands-on with API proxies to bypass network restrictions

Partners engaged in development should have encountered this situation: their own writing of the crawl program is suddenly the target site black, or call the third-party API speed limit. At this timeProxy API interface serviceIt's your saving grace, to put it bluntly this thing is a little helper to help you forward requests so that the target site doesn't recognize you for who you really are.

What can API proxies actually do?

For example, you are developing a price comparison software, you need to capture the data of a shopping site. If you use your own server to request data directly, you will be blocked by the other party's IP in minutes, so you just need to add a proxy relay in the request:

import requests

proxies = {
  'http': 'http://username:password@proxy.ipipgo.cc:3000',
  'https': 'http://username:password@proxy.ipipgo.cc:3000'
}

response = requests.get('Target website address', proxies=proxies)

So that the target site to see is ipipgo proxy IP, and their family IP pool has millions of addresses, blocked a immediately change the next one, faster than the gopher.

Choose a service provider based on these 3 hits

There are many proxy service providers on the market, but there are also many potholes. Focus on these three indicators:

In particular.Highly anonymous agentsThis kind of proxy even the webmaster can't tell you are using a proxy. ipipgo defaults to this mode, which is suitable for projects that need to run stably for a long period of time.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

The easiest thing for a newbie to plant is a misconfiguration. Remember to check these three points:

1. whether the proxy address has a port number (ipipgo defaults to port 3000)
2. Authentication information is up to date (their system updates passwords hourly)
3. Is the whitelisting set up correctly (binding your own server IP in the backend)?

If you get a connection timeout, don't be so quick to curse. Use this command to see if the proxy channel is open:

curl -x http://代理IP:端口 http://ipipgo.cc/check

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What should I do if my proxy IP is not working?
A: ipipgo's dynamic IP pool will be automatically replaced, it is recommended to add an exception retry mechanism in the code, to detect the connection failure to re-acquire the proxy

Q: How do I test the actual speed of the proxy?
A: There is a speed measurement tool in the background of their website, enter the target website address to see the delay of each node

Q: What if I want to call multiple APIs at the same time?
A: You can apply for multiple proxy channels to assign different services to different IPs. ipipgo's enterprise package supports the creation of 50 independent channels.

The last thing I want to say is that you should never try to get a cheap proxy service. I've seen people use free proxies before, and as a result, the data was intercepted by the intermediary, and lost a wife and a soldier. ipipgo all the traffic is AES256 encrypted, with the heart of the solid. Recently, their double eleven activities, new users 50% off the first month, want to test the water tightly.
