Why does UK B2B data capture always get stuck? Try this.
Bosses engaged in market research in the United Kingdom must have encountered this kind of shit - want to catch the public data of competitors, the results of the site loading slow as a snail crawling, either directly to your IP blocked. At this time, do not be stupid to use their own company network hard just, maybe the whole company IP are blacked out. Here is a wild way:Rotate access with local UK proxy IPs, masquerading as real users in different regions.
Take a real case: a cross-border e-commerce company with ipipgo's UK residential IP pool, successfully bypassing the ASOS access restrictions, every hour to catch thousands of commodity price data. The key people have not been targeted by the wind control, why? Because ipipgo's IPs are dynamically assigned by local home broadband, which is much more reliable than server room IPs.
How to choose a UK proxy IP without stepping on puddles
There are many agent service providers on the market, but if you want to find a reliable UK B2B data dedicated agent, you have to keep an eye on these three points:
| norm | Dodgy program. | reliable program |
|---|---|---|
| IP Type | Data center IP (easily identifiable) | Residential/mobile IP (like real users) |
| geographic location | Common IP across the UK | Specific to cities such as London/Manchester |
| connection method | Single certification | Auto Rotation + Failure Retry |
ipipgo has done a great job in this area, and their UK agents can pinpoint the location down to the zip code level. For example, if you want to capture the real estate listing data of a certain district in London, you can directly select the IP segment corresponding to the zip code, and the success rate of data capture can be doubled.
Hands on data messing with ipipgo
Here's a hands-on Python example, using the requests library + ipipgo proxy pool:
import requests
from itertools import cycle
List of UK proxies from ipipgo backend
proxies = [
"http://user:pass@uk-lon-1.ipipgo.io:8000",
"http://user:pass@uk-man-2.ipipgo.io:8000".
... Other nodes
]
proxy_pool = cycle(proxies)
url = "Target site URL"
for _ in range(5)::
try: proxy = next(proxy_pool).
proxy = next(proxy_pool)
response = requests.get(url,
proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}, timeout=10)
timeout=10)
print("Successfully captured data")
break
except.
print(f "Failed to access with {proxy}, automatically switching to the next one")
Be careful to set theAutomatic switching in timeoutrespond in singingFailure Retry MechanismThe background of ipipgo can check the success rate of each proxy node in real time, and which IP drops out of the line to change in a hurry.
The unspoken rules you must know about data
① Do not go to death: even if you use a proxy to control the frequency of requests, it is recommended that every two visits randomly 3-10 seconds interval
② camouflage browser fingerprints: selenium, remember to match the user-agent and screen resolution
③ Data cleansing before it's too late: UK site often changes page structure, suggests weekly checking of crawling rules
④ Don't touch the red line of compliance: it's fine to grab public data, but don't mess with private data that requires logging in.
QA Time: Frequently Asked Questions by Bosses
Q: Will I be found by the website if I use a proxy IP?
A: with ipipgo this dynamic residential IP can not see the basic, but do not use a free proxy, those IP early into the blacklist!
Q: What about catching both UK and EU data?
A: directly in the ipipgo background check the multi-region package, can automatically identify the website belongs to the country to switch the corresponding IP!
Q: What should I do if I get disconnected halfway through data capture?
A: ipipgo has a breakpoint resume function, where the last capture fails, reconnecting will continue from the breakpoint
Q: What is the difference between you and XX agents?
A: ipipgo's UK IP pool is updated weekly with 20% resources to ensure IP freshness, and there are specialized technical customer service to teach configuration
Tell the truth.
Proxy IP is a simple thing to look at, but actually hides a lot of doorways. Some companies buy shared IPs on the cheap, and as a result, more than a dozen customers use the same batch of IPs, interfering with each other when capturing data. ipipipgoexclusive IP poolIt's more expensive, but it's more stable, and it's especially suitable for B2B companies that need to monitor data over time.
Finally remind all bosses: do not just look at the agent's offer, count the business losses caused by the blocked IP, which is the big head. A customer originally used a cheap proxy, three days every now and then was blocked IP, change the ipipgo after the data collection efficiency directly quadruple, this money is worth spending!
