Instagram Crawl: Instagram Proxy Data Capture

First, why do you have to use proxies for Instagram data?

For example, if you take your own broadband to crawl the Ins data, in less than two hours will be blocked IP. this is like in the supermarket sampling booth even eat 20 copies still do not buy, the security guards do not chase you to chase who? The role of proxy IP is to let youDisguised as different customers taking turns sampling, continue to operate with a different vest each time.

Some brothers may ask: Is it okay for me to use free proxies? Let's put it this way, free proxies are like public restroom paper towels - they look usable, but they may be stained with other people's snot. Especially when doing business data collection.Dynamic Residential Proxy for ipipgoIt is a reliable choice, the global IP pool of 200 + countries, each request automatically change IP, the risk of sealing directly cut in half.

Second, the actual configuration of hand-to-hand teaching

Here is a chestnut with Python's requests library, remember to replace the account password with the authentication information you got in the ipipgo backend:

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"
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://www.instagram.com/api/v1/users/web_profile_info/?username=目标账号",
    headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"}
    headers={"User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0"}
)

Focus on three points:

1. It is best to change the IP before each request, ipipgo's API supports automatic switching
2. Frequency of requests limited to 10 per minute
3. remember to simulate the request header on the cell phone (User-Agent don't use Python's default)

Proxy IP selection to avoid the pit guide

ipipgo's dynamic proxy has a unique trick –Automatic country matching. For example, if you want to collect US Netflix data, the system will automatically assign local residential IPs, which has a higher success rate of more than 40% than using other country IPs.

Fourth, the old driver common rollover scene

Q：Why was I blocked even though I used a proxy?
A: eighty percent of the cookie is not cleaned up, it is recommended with the browser fingerprint camouflage tool, or directly with the ipipgo provided by theFull anonymity mode

Q: What should I do if the IP suddenly loses connection halfway through the acquisition?
A: This is common with low-cost agents, ipipgo'sDual channel redundant linesWill automatically switch the backup node, business interruption? Doesn't exist!

Q: What if I need to collect private account data?
A: First of all, let's state that this is a violation! But technically, it needs to fitReal Life Behavioral SimulationTechnically, with ipipgo's exclusive IP + random click action, the success rate can go up to about 70%.

Fifth, double the efficiency of the tawdry operation

Open in the ipipgo consoleIntelligent Routing ModeThe system will automatically select the node with the lowest latency. This function can increase the collection speed by 3 times, especially when collecting across countries, which is much more reliable than manually selecting nodes.

Advanced players can tryThe Great IP Warm-Up: First, use 10 IPs to comment to the target account in turn, and after raising 3 days to collect data with these IPs, the account survival rate is directly pulled full.

Lastly, a word of caution: data collection is risky, do not use a proxy IP to engage in tawdry operations. ipipgo's customer service team is online 24 hours a day, encountered technical problems directly dislike their engineers on the end of the matter.
