First, why are people grabbing local proxy IPs?
Recently, some friends always ask me, with those foreign proxy IP how to drive a tractor like stuck to death? There are a lot of ways to do this. Like you order takeout in Beijing, have to let the Shanghai takeout boy delivery, can not delay things?The biggest advantage of local proxy IPs is their physical proximity.The data transmission is less detour, especially for e-commerce data collection or ticket scripts, which are real-time work, and a difference of 0.5 seconds may be a lost cause.
To give you a real example: an e-commerce company's price comparison system originally used overseas agents, each time the collection of data to 8-10 seconds, replaced with ipipgo local agent directly down to 1.3 seconds. Here is not only the speed improvement, the more critical isIP purity directly affects business success, many platforms now have geographic identification radar installed and foreign IPs are easily intercepted as bots.
Second, hand to teach you to pick the right proxy IP service provider
There are many proxy IP service providers on the market, but there are also many potholes. Remember these threelightning protection mnemonic::
| know what one is doing | Reliable Service Provider | suspect |
|---|---|---|
| IP Survival Time | 15-30 minutes dynamic replacement | Claims to be a long-term fixed IP |
| connection method | Support socks5/http protocol | Browser plug-ins only |
| after-sales service | 7×24 hours live customer service | Mail Only Work Orders |
Professional service providers like ipipgo not only offerAutomatic switching of dynamic IP poolsThe company also has the ability to customize its proxy strategy according to business scenarios. Don't believe those 9 yuan 9 monthly, this service provider 80% is a second-hand agent resale, IP has been pulled by the major platforms black.
Third, Python old driver teach you to play proxy IP
Here's a favorite code template for crawlers, using ipipgo's API to get proxies is simply not too easy:
import requests
def get_ipipgo_proxy(): api_url =
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
"key": "Your authorization code",
"protocol": "socks5",
"region": "East China"
}
resp = requests.get(api_url, params=params).json()
return f'socks5://{resp["ip"]}:{resp["port"]}'
Example of use
proxy = get_ipipgo_proxy()
print(f "Currently using proxy: {proxy}")
Be careful to set thetimeout retry mechanismIt is recommended that the timeout should not exceed 5 seconds. If you encounter connection failure, change IP immediately. ipipgo's API can change 100+ new IPs per second, which is much more efficient than manual switching.
Four, these scenes do not use proxy IP will lose a lot of money
1. E-commerce price comparison system: Simultaneously monitor the price of goods on 10 platforms, using local proxies to avoid triggering anti-climbing
2. Social Media Operations: When managing multiple accounts, different IP logins prevent correlation blocking.
3. Local Life Services: Get the real delivery range data of a certain group and a certain hunger
4. Financial data collection: Capture real-time trading information of stock funds
Last time I had a client who did live data analysis with ipipgoExclusive IP package, successfully bypassing the platform's IP frequency restrictions, the amount of data collection has directly tripled. The key is that their IP pool is updated 20% every day, and they simply don't give the platform a chance to pull the plug.
Fifth, the old users only know the advanced skills
- The Great IP Warm-Up: Newly-acquired IPs visit a few general sites before getting down to business
- Traffic camouflage: Random interval visits + simulated mouse movement trajectory
- Geographic mixing patterns: 80% with local IP, 20% mixed with neighboring IPs
- Exception monitoring settings: Automatically switch IP pools when success rate falls below 95%
There's one in the back office of ipipgo.Intelligent Routing FunctionThief good use, can automatically select the fastest node in the current network environment. Last time a customer used this function, the failure rate of data collection from 15% to 2% below.
VI. QA time: a common pitfall for novices
Q: What should I do if I can't connect to the proxy IP all the time?
A: First check if the authorization information is correct, then try switching the protocol type. ipipgo's clients areOne-touch diagnostic functionIt can automatically detect the local network environment.
Q: What if I need both mobile and computer?
A: Generated in the backend of the ipipgo accountmulti-device tokenJust support up to 5 devices online at the same time, but be careful to control the frequency of requests.
Q: Why do some sites still detect proxies?
A: It may be that WebRTC leaks the real IP, turn off the WebRTC function in the browser settings. ipipgo'sAdvanced Protection ModeComes with this feature, no need to set it up manually.
Recently, I found that many users are stuck in the IP authorization step, here is a special reminder:Never write the authorization code in the client code!! It's best to store it with environment variables, and ipipgo's tech docs have a detailed guide to configuring security.
