Proxy IP Provider API: Proxy Provider API Interfacing Guide

Hands-on with the ipipgo Proxy API!

A lot of friends doing data collection often ask: how can we quickly dock reliable proxy IP services? Today we will take our family ipipgo API docking process as an example, to the guys break open the crumbs to understand. Remember this mnemonic:One Account, Two Keys, Three TestsYou're guaranteed to be docked in half an hour.

Docking prep three-piece suit

First, sign up for an account on the ipipgo website and find these three things in the user center:

User ID: user1234
API key: d3G7fE2kLpQ9
Access address: api.ipipgo.com/getip

Be careful not to leak the key, it is recommended to change it regularly. If you find a sudden surge in calls but you don't use it, contact customer service to freeze your account.

Three steps to complete basic docking

Here is a Python example, other languages just follow the change:

import requests

def get_proxy(): params = { params
    params = {
        
        'apikey': 'd3G7fE2kLpQ9', 'num': 5, Number of IPs to fetch.
        'num': 5, number of IPs to fetch
        'type': 'http' protocol type
    }
    resp = requests.get('https://api.ipipgo.com/getip', params=params)
    return resp.json()['data']

Focused Parameter Description:

Status I: What if it returns {"code":403}?
Check the timestamp error, the server time difference should not be more than 5 minutes. It is recommended to use NTP auto-calibration.

Status II: I can't use the IP I've acquired?
Don't rush to curse first, 80% is the whitelist is not set. In the user center to add the local IP whitelist, this a lot of newbies are easy to forget.

Advancement Gameplay Revealed

If you need a long-term stable IP, remember to use a static residential package. For example, if you do e-commerce data monitoring, you can set up automatic replacement like this:

// PHP example
$proxy = [
    'ip' => '1.2.3.4',
    'expire_time' => '2024-12-31 23:59:59'
];

if(time() > strtotime($proxy['expire_time'])){
    $new_proxy = refreshProxy(); // call the API to change the IP
}

Business users remember to useDynamic Residential (Corporate) PackageIt supports concurrent extraction of multiple IP segments and is suitable for crawler clusters.

QA First Aid Kit

Q: Will the subscription traffic be zeroed out at the end of the month?
A: Dynamic packages are billed on a natural month basis, while static packages are used on a monthly basis.

Q: What development languages are supported?
A: As long as you can send HTTP requests can be, official Python/Java/PHP sample code provided

Q: Who do I call with technical problems?
A: There is aFlash Chat Customer Servicebutton, average technician response time 3 minutes

Lastly, I would like to say that the package should be chosen according to the actual usage, and the dynamic standard version is enough for individual users. If you do a large amount of overseas business, directly on the cross-border line, the speed can be more than three times faster. What special needs despite the customer service chat, they can give you a whole customized program.
