Google Map Data: Google Map Proxy Data Collection

Why do I need a proxy IP for Google map data?

You must have encountered this kind of situation: use your own computer to grab the map data, the result is not a few minutes IP was blocked. This is like going to the supermarket to try to eat, caught a stall to eat, the security must come to drive people, Google's anti-climbing mechanism than the supermarket security guards can be much more powerful, the average user to visit dozens of times in a row may trigger the restrictions.

That's when it's time toproxy IPTo be a "stand-in actor". For example, if you use a stuntman to shoot dangerous action scenes, or if you use different IPs to collect data, the platform won't recognize that the same person is operating. The residential proxy IP of our own product ipipgo is used in the real user network environment, which is more difficult to be recognized than the IP of the server room.

How to choose a proxy IP without stepping into a pit?

There are several types of agents on the market, and I made a comparison table:

Grabbing Google Maps is recommended forResidential IPAnd especially ipipgo's.Long-lasting static residential IPThe program can be used for 24 hours on a single IP. Last time a customer used this program, continuous collection of 3 days have not been blocked, much more stable than conventional dynamic IP.

Show you how to do it by hand

As an example, Python uses the requests library to implement proxy access:

import requests

 Proxy format for ipipgo username:password@ip:port
proxy = {
    'http': 'http://你的账号:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:20000', 'https': 'http://你的账号:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:20000'
    'https': 'http://你的账号:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:20000'
}

 Masquerading as a normal browser visit
headers = {
    'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36'
}

response = requests.get('https://maps.google.com', proxies=proxy, headers=headers)
print(response.text[:500]) print the first 500 characters to see if it succeeds

Be careful to putaccount passwordReplace it with your own authentication information obtained from the ipipgo backend. It is recommended that each request be delayed by 1-3 seconds at random, so that you don't send out requests like a machine gun.

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q：Why is it still blocked even if I use a proxy IP?
A: You may have used a low-quality server room IP, or the request frequency is too high. Switch to ipipgo's residential IP and try adjusting the request interval to more than 2 seconds.

Q: What if I want to collect maps from more than one country?
A: In the background of ipipgo, select "Global Node", for example, if you want to catch the U.S. data, use the U.S. home broadband IP, and catch the Japanese data and cut it to the IP of Tokyo, so that you can get the data more accurately.

Q: Is data collection legal?
A: As long as it does not involve personal privacy information, comply with Google's robots.txt rules will be fine. It is recommended that the daily collection volume be controlled within 50,000 times. ipipgo's IP rotation function is just right for this volume.
