Capture API: Proxy Capture API Service

What does the Proxy Grab API really do?

Friends who engage in data crawling know that the biggest headache is that the IP is blocked. For example, you want to catch the price of e-commerce, just check a few dozen times to find the IP into the blacklist. This time you have to use proxy IP services, to put it bluntly is to let different IP to help you work.Spreading requests across multiple channels, which is both less likely to be blocked and faster to collect.

Take one of our customers as an example, they do price comparison website, before using their own server to capture data directly, the results of three days by the target site blocked IP. later changed to use ipipgo's dynamic IP pool.Acquisition success rate soared from 40% to 98%The key thing is that you no longer have to manually change your IP.

What are the doors to look for when choosing a proxy IP?

There are a variety of agency services on the market, so here are a few tips on how to pick one:

Especially recommend ipipgo'sDynamic Mixed Dialing ServiceThe IP pool of their home is automatically replaced every 5 minutes, and also supports filtering by geography. For example, if you want to catch regionally limited data, you can directly specify the export IP of Shanghai, Guangzhou and other cities.

Hands-on access to proxy APIs

Here's a Python demonstration of how to interface with ipipgo's API service:

import requests

 API configuration from ipipgo
proxy_api = "http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:8080"

def fetch_data(url):
    proxies = {
        "http": proxy_api,
        "https": proxy_api
    }
    try.
        resp = requests.get(url, proxies=proxies, timeout=10)
        return resp.text
    except Exception as e.
        print(f "Request failed: {str(e)}")

 Example: Fetching data from a website
print(fetch_data("https://target-site.com/data"))

Be careful to replace it with the account password you applied for in the ipipgo backend. If you encounter connection problems, we recommendCheck the whitelist settings first, many users forget to add the server IP whitelist in the console.

Guidelines on demining of common problems

Q: Do free proxies work?
A: Short-term testing can make do, but do not use the official project. We have tested that the availability of free proxies is less than 20%, and may also leak data.

Q: What should I do if my proxy IP is slow?
A: In ipipgo background switch protocol type, change HTTP to SOCKS5 usually can speed up. If it does not work, it is recommended to contact their technical customer service to open an exclusive high-speed channel.

Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?
A: If you use dynamic pool service, you don't need to worry about it at all, ipipgo's API will return the available IPs automatically. if it is a static IP package, it is recommended to do the survival test every day.

Why ipipgo?

After using seven or eight proxy service providers, I finally chose ipipgo because of three main points:

1. Responsive enough - Average delay controlled within 200ms
2. Survival rate is guaranteed - Dynamic IP availability maintained above 95%
3. Flexible packages - They range from daily to annual payments, and you can adjust the number of IPs at any time!

Especially theirAbnormal IP automatic replacement mechanismAs soon as we detect an IP failure, a new IP will be added within 10 seconds, and we had no problem with over 5 million calls in a single day during the last Double Eleven promotion.

I recently discovered that their console has addedConsumption warning functionThe program can set up SMS/email reminders, so you are no longer afraid of suddenly running out of package credits. If you need API docking documents, you can directly find technical support on their website, and the reply speed is quite fast.
