What the hell is a proxy pool?
Guys may have encountered this situation: crawler program just run a few minutes on the site blocked IP, registered trumpet always prompted "frequent operations", the e-commerce price comparison tool suddenly failed ... ... At this time it should be a proxy pool on the field. Simply put, the proxy pool is like an oversized faucet, which is loaded with thousands of IP addresses ready to standby, which IP was pulled by the site black, immediately change the next continue to use.
Here's what to focus onDynamic switching mechanismThe first thing you need to do is to get your hands on a good proxy pool. A good proxy pool is never a simple pile of IP numbers, just like stir-frying vegetables have to pay attention to the fire, when to change the IP, how to change all the way. For example, when visiting a shopping site, five consecutive request failures automatically switch; encountered a CAPTCHA pop-up window immediately "cicada shell", these details directly determine whether the business can run smoothly.
The right posture for whoring out a 10 million dollar agent pool
Many service providers on the market now offer free trials, but there are a lot of pitfalls. Some give "old IPs" and some limit the use to 3 times per minute. Recently, I tested ipipgo's free package, and found that they give theReal Available IP PoolThe key is to achieve an IP survival rate of 80% or more with 500 request credits per day.
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
'https': 'http://user:pass@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}
resp = requests.get('https://目标网站', proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
With this Python code you can directly call ipipgo's proxy pool, note that the user and pass should be replaced with their account information. Test this access than some platforms need to install the SDK is much more convenient, especially for rapid testing.
What are the hard indicators to look for when choosing a proxy service provider?
| norm | shoddy service provider | ipipgo real test |
|---|---|---|
| responsiveness | >800ms | 200-400ms |
| IP Survival Rate | <50% | 85%+ |
| Concurrency support | single-threaded | 50+ requests per second |
| Protocol Support | HTTP only | HTTP/HTTPS/Socks5 |
Last month to help friends do e-commerce data collection, with a free agent toss three days did not catch the data, change ip ipgo after two hours to get. The key is that their proxy IPGeographic coverageIt can switch city nodes accurately when doing localization business.
A guide to avoiding the pitfalls of the white man
Brothers who are just starting out are prone to make these mistakes:
- Write a dead IP in the code and it gets blocked in half an hour!
- I didn't set a timeout to retry, and when I encountered a lag I just crashed the program.
- Forgot to do request intervals, knocked the web server offline
Here's a trick to teach you: use a random hibernation + auto-switching combo. For example, write it like this:
import time
import random
def safe_request(url): for _ in range(3): at most 3 retries
for _ in range(3): retry at most 3 times
time.sleep(random.uniform(1,3))
time.sleep(random.uniform(1,3)) wait 1-3 seconds randomly
return requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=8)
except.
change_proxy() call the IP switch function
return None
Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: Does the free trial secretly limit speed?
A: ipipgo's trial packages are clearly labeled with bandwidth caps, so they don't do anything underhanded. However, commercial-grade business is still recommended on the paid version, after all, stability is more important.
Q: How long does a proxy IP last?
A: This depends on the situation. Dynamic residential proxies are usually refreshed in 15 minutes, while data center proxies may last for several hours. ipipgo can see the remaining validity period of each IP in the background.
Q: How can I prevent my proxy IP from being blocked?
A: Three tricks: ① Bring a different User-Agent for each request ② Mix residential + data center proxies for important services ③ Regularly check IP availability. ipipgo's smart routing feature can perform these operations automatically.
Let's get real.
I've used 7 or 8 proxy services, and I've used ipipgo for a long time, just for the sake of practicality. Others always put "millions of IP pools" on the lips, but half of the results can not be used. His background can be seen in real timeNumber of online IPsThe company also has 900,000+ available nodes at peak times. Recently found that they have added the function of intelligent IP recommendation by business type, do cross-border e-commerce friends used straight said really good.
Recently, double 11 is coming, brothers who need to grab data may wish to glean a free trial. Anyway, it is not a matter of money, try and will not lose a piece of meat, in case it can really solve your headache of IP blocking problem?
