Social Media Dataset: Social Media Agent Dataset

Blocked? Data collection always fails? Teach you how to use proxy IP to solve the problem

Friends who engage in social media data understand that the number is blocked, IP is pulled black is simply a daily routine. Last month, a friend doing e-commerce, just climbed 200 comments, the account directly permanently banned - blood loss! Today we will nag how to use the proxy IP to get the data firmly in hand.

I. Three major potholes in data collection rollovers

1. IP blocking in seconds is uselessThe platform is now very fine, the same IP continuous operation directly triggers the wind control
2. The speed is as slow as a snail: it takes 5 minutes to manually switch IPs, and you can't pick a few items a day.
3. Data lack of arms and legs: a lot of content is geographically restricted, the local IP simply can not brush it out!

II. Hands-on! Build a collection system with ipipgo proxy

Let's take the Python crawler as an example, and let's configure it with ipipgo's residential proxy:

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}

 Automatically switch IPs with each request
for _ in range(100):
    response = requests.get(
        'Destination link',
        proxies=proxies,
        timeout=10
    )
     Here the collected data is processed...

Here's the point! Remember to add in the codeRandom Waiting Time(0.5-3 seconds), don't let the platform see that it is a machine operation.

Third, the white must see the use of proxy IP know-how

- Dynamic residential IPs are suitable for long-term collection (recommend ipipgo's mixed dialing packages)
- After each collectionEmpty browser fingerprints
- Don't fight with CAPTCHA, change IP and try again.
- Higher success rate for collection from 2-5 a.m. (personally tested)

Fourth, the real case: 3 days to collect 100,000 + comments

A beauty brand used ipipgo's proxy pool for these configurations:

1. Automatically switch IP for every 50 items collected
2. Set the ratio of IP in different cities:
   Beijing 30% | Shanghai 20% | Guangzhou 20% | Other 30%
3. With UA randomizer

The result: 40x increase in collection efficiency, 0 account bans, and digging into competitors' hidden promotional strategies.

V. QA Time: Frequently Asked Questions for Beginners

Q: Is it okay to use a free proxy?
A: Never! Free IPs have been blacklisted for a long time, and their numbers are blocked once they are used. Our team has tested that the survival rate of ipipgo is more than 8 times higher than that of free proxies.

Q: How many IPs do I need to buy to get enough?
A: Small projects 500-1000 / day enough, ipipgo's package can be expanded at any time, do not have to spend a one-time waste of money.

Q: Is the data collected legal?
A: As long as it does not climb personal privacy and paid content, public data is protected by law. Remember to confirm the scope of collection in robots.txt Oh!

VI. Why choose ipipgo?

1. ExclusiveCity-level positioningTechnology. Pick any IP you want.
2. Support for HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 full protocols
3. 24-hour live customer service (response within 5 minutes at 2:00 in the middle of the night)
4. Free for new users500MB trafficTrial (you can get it on the official homepage)

Lastly, I would like to talk about a cold knowledge: when using proxy IP to collect data, remember to clean up the local cookies regularly, once I forgot to clean up, and as a result, the IP was still blocked after I changed it, so don't step on this pit!
