Proxy api: Proxy API interface development docking manual

What does the Proxy API really do?

Brothers engaged in network development understand that sometimes the program is running suddenly blocked IP, just like driving a roadblock. At this time the proxy API is your alternate lane, such as doing data collection, with ipipgo API rotation IP address, the server thinks that each visit is a new user, the success rate is directly doubled.

To give a real example: there is a do e-commerce price monitoring old brother, with ordinary IP a day to pick up up up to 3,000 pieces of data, change the ipipgo dynamic residential IP, after theDaily pickup soars to 50,000+It hasn't been blocked yet. This stuff is especially good for business scenarios that require long term stable access.

Three Steps to API Docking

Don't be intimidated by the technical documentation, there are actually just three key steps to docking:

 Python example (remember to change your api_key)
import requests

def get_proxy():
    url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?key=你的密钥&type=dynamic"
    res = requests.get(url).json()
    return f"{res['proxy']}:{res['port']}"

 When you use it, you call it like this
proxy = get_proxy()
print(f "Currently using IP: {proxy}")

Watch out for two potholes:Don't write dead keys in the code.(put in environment variables), andRemember to release the IP when you're done with it.. ipipgo's packages are all volume-based, and you may be spending money for nothing if you don't release it.

How do I choose packages for different services?

Last time there is an overseas questionnaire company, began to greed cheap with data center IP, the result of the success rate of less than 20%. changed into ipipgo static residential IP after theThe pass rate is directly dry to 75%, expensive for a reason.

Guidelines on demining of common problems

Q: What should I do if the API call always times out?
First check whether the key is lost wrongly (a common mistake of novices), and then try to switch the protocol type. Using HTTPS is more stable than HTTP, especially for cross-border business.

Q: Will I be cut off if I buy a package?
There's a hidden benefit to ipipgo:New users can get a refund for the first 3 daysFor example, if you buy a dynamic package, you can upgrade to the enterprise version without buying a new one. For example, if you buy a dynamic subscription and if you use more traffic than you should, you can upgrade to the enterprise version by paying the difference in price, without having to buy a new subscription.

Q: How can I prevent my IP from being blocked?
Remember the three numbers:5 seconds - 3 times - 50 barsThe same IP access interval should not be shorter than 5 seconds, and should not exceed 3 requests per hour. The same IP access interval should not be shorter than 5 seconds, not more than 3 requests per hour, not more than 50 times throughout the day. With ipipgo's automatic switching function, basically as stable as an old dog.

Tips to save money and worry

Ever seen someone burn through $20,000 in agent fees in a month? It's because they didn't do these two things right:

1. set uptraffic alert(can be set on the console)
2. opensIdle time speed reduction(Automatically cuts low IPs in the early hours of the morning)

ipipgo has a client who is doing stock data monitoring, and set up the TK line to switch automatically at 23:00 every day.Save 40% per month in fees. Their technical director said, "The money saved is enough for three hot pot meals for the reunion."

Finally said a cold knowledge: ipipgo API response speed than the industry average 1.7 seconds faster, do not look at this time difference, do high-frequency data collection, then, a day can run two more rounds of tasks. Now registered to send 5 times 1v1 technical advice, encounter problems directly to the engineer nagging than check the document much faster.
