Proxy IP Extraction: Proxy IP Extraction API Interface

What does the Proxy IP Extraction API actually do?

Many friends who are new to web crawling often encounter situations where their IPs are restricted. For example, you want to check the weather data in bulk, just check a few hundred times the site will block your IP. This time you need a proxy IP torotational identity, making the server think that each request is for a different user.

The traditional manual replacement of proxy IP is too troublesome, especially when a large number of IPs are needed. This time the API interface will come in handy. ipipgo's extraction API can be used like a vending machine to spit out fresh IPs for each request. to cite a real scenario: an e-commerce price monitoring system to collect tens of thousands of times a day, the probability of being blocked after using the API to automatically obtain IPs has directly dropped by 80%.

Hands on with ipipgo's API!

First, sign up for a ipipgo account and find the API documentation in the console. There are just three core parameters:

 Python Example
import requests

api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getip"
params = {
    "key": "Your authorization code",
    "num": 5, number to extract
    "type": "json"
}

response = requests.get(api_url, params=params).json()
print(response['data']) Here it will output 5 available IPs

Note the return of theShelf lifefields, different packages have different IP validity periods. Pay-as-you-go packages are recommended for the testing phase to avoid wastage.

Three tips for avoiding potholes in the real world

1. Don't rush the new IP.: Hibernate for 3-5 seconds after extraction before use, many platforms will detect instantaneous IP switching behavior!

2. Protocols to match: Proxies of type http cannot be used to access https sites and vice versa!

3. Exception Handling Essentials: It is recommended to include a retry mechanism in the code, like this:

// PHP example
$retry = 3;
while($retry > 0){
    try {
        // Initiate the request using a proxy
        break; } catch (Exception $e) { // Use proxy to initiate request.
    } catch (Exception $e) {
        $retry--;; // Replace the IP with a new one.
        // Replace the new IP with a new one
        $newIP = getNewIPFromAPI();
    }
}

Five common questions people ask

Q: Why does the IP returned by the API not work?
A: First check if the authorization is correct, then test if a single IP is available. If multiple IPs are unavailable, the target website may have blocked the entire IP segment.

Q: Is there a limit to the number of IPs that can be extracted?
A: ipipgo has different limitations for different packages, the basic version can take up to 100 per minute, and the enterprise version can be customized.

Q: What agency agreements are supported?
A: Currently supports HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, choose according to business needs.

Q: What should I do if my IP is invalid?
A: It is recommended to check IP availability every time you use it, or set a timed task to refresh a batch every 10 minutes.

Q: Can I specify a particular city?
A: Just add region field in the API parameter, for example, if you want Shanghai IP, you should pass shanghai.

Why choose ipipgo's services

Tested and compared with a number of service providers on the market, ipipgo has two obvious advantages: first, theIP Survival RateIt is about 30% higher than others, and secondly, the response speed is fast enough. Last week to help customers do data collection projects, with his family API daily stable access to 20,000 + IP, the project cycle shortened by a whole week.

Beginners are advised to start withFree Trial PackageThe number of IPs per day is sufficient for testing. The formal project recommends enterprise customization package, which supports adjusting regional distribution and IP quantity as needed. Recently they have updated the mobile IP library, friends who do APP data collection can focus on trying.
