Hands-on Playwright Crawler + Proxy IPs
Brothers who engage in crawling understand that using Playwright to do automation is really fragrant. But the website anti-climbing mechanism is getting more and more strict, not hanging proxy IP minutes will be blocked. Today we will nag how to Playwright on the proxy vest, focusing on recommending their own good ipipgo proxy service.
Why do I have to be on a proxy IP?
For example, you take your own broadband connected to brush the data of a certain treasure goods, half an hour after the IP will be pulled black. At this time, if there is a proxy pool to rotate the IP, just like playing chicken games with a stealth hang, the site simply can not catch you. Especially the need for a large number of repetitive operation scenarios, no proxy IP is equal to the naked running online.
Three Steps to Real-World Configuration
Step 1: Choose the right type of agent
Residential IPs have the highest level of camouflage and we recommend using ipipgo's static residential package. If you need to switch frequently, dynamic residential is more cost-effective. Don't touch those free proxies, the speed is slow, not to mention, leaking data in minutes.
// Example code (Node.js version)
const { chromium } = require('playwright');
(async () => {
const browser = await chromium.launch({
proxy: {
server: 'http://用户名:密码@proxy.ipipgo.io:24000',
username: 'your_username', password: 'your_password', {
password: 'your_password'
}
}).
// Follow up...
})();
Step 2: Get the protocol settings right
| Business Type | referral agreement |
|---|---|
| web crawler | HTTP/HTTPS |
| video capture | Socks5 |
Step 3: Don't be lazy about exception handling
Suggest to add a timeout retry mechanism, encounter 403/504 error automatically change IP. ipipgo's API supports second switching, add a loop in the code will be able to fix it.
Guide to avoiding the pit (QA session)
Q: What should I do if the proxy suddenly fails?
A: Check the account quota first, then test the connection with ipipgo client. It is recommended to get IP dynamically before each request to avoid using a single IP for too long!
Q: Slow as a snail?
A: ① choose geographically close nodes ② change TK line package ③ reduce the amount of single IP concurrency. Tested with ipipgo cross-border line, the delay can be pressed to 200ms or less!
How to choose a ipipgo package
Right-sized according to business needs:
| Package Type | Applicable Scenarios | price of item |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic residential (standard) | General Data Acquisition | 7.67 Yuan/GB |
| Dynamic Residential (Business) | High-frequency visit requirements | 9.47 Yuan/GB |
| Static homes | Long-term fixed operations | 35RMB/IP |
Tips: new users first test with pay-per-volume, and then switch to monthly packages after stabilization. Need to customize the program directly to customer service, according to business characteristics with exclusive agent pool.
Say something from the heart.
I have seen too many people planted on the poor quality proxy, either IP blocked or data leakage. The main reason why I chose ipipgo is because it is directly connected to the operator's resources, unlike the second-hand dealers who sell their IPs, especially the one-click client switching function, which is especially friendly to novices, without having to toss the environment configuration.
Last reminder: don't write dead proxy accounts in your code! It is recommended to use environment variables to store authentication information, safe and easy to switch between different environments. Encounter technical difficulties directly to find ipipgo technical support, the response speed than many large factories are faster.
