Proxy IP purchase of market data: Market Data Proxy Purchase Program

Getting to the bottom of the proxy IP market

Nowadays, friends who are engaged in data collection understand that a reliable proxy IP is like the dishes for eating - you can't play without it at all. However, there are so many vendors in the market like night market stalls that dozens of vendors can pop up just by searching. Here the head of the water can be deep it, some take the IP room IP pretends to be residential IP, some traffic billing hidden catnip, novice stepping on the pit rate as high as 70% or more.

We did a test in the last three months: we took the dynamic residential IPs of 5 vendors and did a data collection comparison. As a result, we found that3.8 times difference in average success rateThe fastest and slowest response time can be as much as 12 seconds. There is a cross-border e-commerce friends worse, with the wrong agent was closed 20 store account, direct loss of six figures.

Four Steps to Procurement Program Design

Step 1: First disk business requirements

Don't be in a hurry to place an order, take a piece of paper and list the work to be done clearly. For example, if you are doing price monitoring, you need a high stash of residential IPs; if you are registering accounts in bulk, you have to look for a large dynamic IP pool; and for multinational business, you have to see if there are any local native IPs.

Step 2: You can't go wrong with a three-piece test kit

 Simple IP Availability Test
import requests
proxy = {"http": "http://user:pass@ip:port"}
try: resp = requests.get('', proxies=proxy, timeout=10)
    resp = requests.get('https://api.ipipgo.com/check', proxies=proxy, timeout=10)
    print(f "Current IP: {resp.json()['ip']} available")
except Exception as e.
    print("Proxy hangs:", str(e))

The test focuses on: whether the IP type matches, the geographic location is not allowed, and whether the concurrent requests are stable. It is recommended to use real business scenarios to measure the full 24 hours, a lot of agents during the day as stable as a dog, in the middle of the night on the wind.

Tip #3: Pay Flexibly Don't Die

Step 4: Keep an eye on after-sales protection

Seen too many people buy the agent on the no matter, and wait for problems before jumping feet. Focus on three points: technical response speed (preferably within 5 minutes), IP replacement mechanism (automatic or manual), traffic detail query (to prevent being stolen)

ipipgo practical program recommendation

Tell us about the ipipgo program that our team uses on their own.TK LineIt's a bit of a thing indeed. Last time to a clothing factory to do competitive analysis, need to grab 18 countries at the same time the e-commerce data. With the average success rate of ordinary agents only 43%, changed to ipipgo cross-border program directly after pulling 89%, the key is the IP belongs to the place is particularly accurate, will not appear in Brazil IP actually in the case of Germany.

Three must-have reasons:

1. Dynamic residential IP pool updated hourly 20% or more, anti-blocking effect visible to the naked eye
2. The client comes with intelligent routing, automatic switching of the fastest node (this is too friendly to the white man)
3. Support for socks5 protocol, docking Python, Java, what are convenient

Package Price Comparison:

• Dynamic Standard Edition: $7.67/GB (for small-scale crawlers)
• Enterprise version costs $1.80/GB more, but has more IP exclusivity and request prioritization
• Static IPs, though high in unit cost, are a must for doing account nurturing

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose between dynamic and static IPs?
A: need to frequently change the IP selection of dynamic (such as crawlers), to fix the identity characteristics of the use of static (such as social account operations)

Q: Which package do I buy when I'm just starting out without stepping on the line?
A: It is recommended to buy the Dynamic Standard Edition first to test, remember to use their full 1 yuan trial activity. Test OK and then switch to a monthly subscription, you can save 30% or more!

Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Turn on the "Smart Switch" mode in the ipipgo client and set the threshold for automatic change (we recommend changing the IP address after 3 failures).

Q: Support customized special national IP?
A: Find their customer service to open a 1v1 program, like the Chilean residential IP we wanted before, three days to get it done!

A final reminder to the gang: don't just look at the cheap prices, some vendors play the"Low price, low quality + hidden charges"The way to do this is to check the detailed bill, especially for traffic billing. Especially the traffic billing, be sure to check the detailed bill, we have eaten a dark loss - obviously set up a proxy whitelist, the result of the bill more than 30% of foreign traffic, only to find out later that it is a problem with their routing configuration.
