How to cut the cost of proxy IP services? Hands-on tips to save money
Friends who do data collection know that the proxy IP cost is like a bottomless pit. Last month a customer doing e-commerce price comparison complained to me that the agent fee alone ate up his 40% profit. Today we take the actual case of ipipgo, teach you three tricksPreserving results and saving money at the same timeof hardcore operations.
I. Traffic actuarials: don't be an ingrate
Many people only look at the unit price when buying an agency package, but actuallyTraffic consumption speedThis is the key. There is a search engine inclusion monitoring customers, originally with ordinary dynamic IP run 30,000 times a day query, and then changed to use ourTK Line(specifically for search engine optimization), the same task traffic consumption directly down 60%.
Example: Monitoring Traffic Consumption with ipipgo's APIs
import requests
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/usage"
headers = {"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"}
response = requests.get(api_url, headers=headers)
print(response.json()['data']['remaining_gb'])
It is recommended to do a weekly traffic audit:
1. Use the above code to check the remaining flow
2. Comparison of business volume growth curves
3. Timely adjustment of package specifications
Second, package combinations: will match to save money
We have a client who does real estate information aggregation and splits the business into three pieces:
- For general page crawlingDynamic residential (standard)
- Anti-climbing strict platforms withStatic Residential IP
- On an emergency missionDedicated Static IP
The cost of such an operation is reduced by 35%, and the collection success rate is also improved.
| Package Type | Applicable Scenarios | Money Saving Tips |
|---|---|---|
| dynamic standard | Routine data collection | Setting the auto-sleep period |
| Static homes | retention | Binding of fixed business modules |
| TK Line | Search Engine Operation | Use with result caching |
III. IP Cycling: 1 for 3
The most wasteful operation I've ever seen is getting a new IP for every request, when in fact sensible reuse can save big money. For example, to do social media monitoring, use ourClient Rotation FunctionSet the IP survival time to prevent blocking and save money at the same time:
Example: Intelligent IP Reuse on Python Requests
from ipipgo_rotator import ProxyPool
pool = ProxyPool(
api_key="YOUR_KEY", reuse_time=600 Single IP used for 10 minutes.
reuse_time=600 10 minutes for a single IP
)
print(pool.get_proxy()) Automatically manage IP lifecycle
Focus on memorizing three numbers:
- General website: for a single IP30-60 minutes
- Anti-climbing medium:10-20 minutesduty roster
- High-risk websites:Per requestChange your IP address.
QA First Aid Kit
Q: What should I do if I don't have enough traffic all the time?
A: Use ipipgo's firstTraffic Alert FunctionSet the threshold, then contact customer service to openshared pool, multiple lines of business share traffic packages.
Q: How to break the old blocked IP?
A: Try ourcross-border rail linePackage that comes with browser fingerprinting camouflage. A customer doing ticket monitoring used it and the IP survival rate increased from 47% to 82%.
Q: Can I mix packages for different services?
A: It is recommended to open the ipipgo backend in thesub-account system, configure package types and traffic limits individually for each line of business.
