Proxy ip api long time online: long-lasting proxy API maintenance program

Tips for routine maintenance of proxy IP pools

Many users feel that the proxy API with the use of the drop, in fact, just like the car needs regular maintenance, IP pools also have to do routine maintenance. Let's talk about the most common pit:Low IP survival rateThe thing is. There is a friend doing e-commerce, using ordinary agents to crawl the data, the result is that every half an hour you have to restart the script, and later found that it is not to do survival detection.

We recommend using ipipgo's survival monitoring interface with this shell script to check regularly:

! /bin/bash
API_KEY="your_ipipgo_key"
CHECK_URL="http://api.ipipgo.com/status"

while true; do
  response=$(curl -s -x $PROXY_IP:$PORT $CHECK_URL)
  if [[ $response ! = "active" ]]; then
    echo "$(date) detected IP failure, auto replacement in progress..."
     Calling ipipgo's replacement interface
    curl -X POST "http://api.ipipgo.com/replace?key=$API_KEY"
  sleep 300 Checks every 5 minutes.
  sleep 300 Every 5 minutes
done

Dynamic scheduling has a trick

I've seen people treating proxy IPs like family heirlooms, using one address until the end of time. In fact, reasonable scheduling can extend the life of the IP, just like the restaurant shift system. ipipgoDynamic Residential PackageThree scheduling modes are supported:

Be wary of unusual traffic

Last time, a customer said that the IP was always blocked, and later found that the script was buggy, resulting in 20 requests per second. It is recommended to add aFlow fusion mechanism, like a fuse for an electric switch:

import time
from requests.exceptions import ProxyError

def safe_request(url, proxy)::
    try.
         Limit requests to 3 per second
        time.sleep(0.33)
        response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy)
        return response
    except ProxyError.
         Automatically switch ipipgo alternate ip
        rotate_proxy()
        return safe_request(url, proxy)

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Do I choose dynamic or static for my package?
A: do data collection choose dynamic more cost-effective (from $ 7.67 / GB), the need for fixed IP business and then choose static packages

Q: What should I do if API extraction fails?
A: First check your account balance, then try connecting directly with the ipipgo client, their Windows client comes with a disconnect and reconnect feature!

Q：How can I respond to an emergency when my IP is blocked?
A: Immediate submission in the ipipgo consoleEmergency Replacement RequestCustomer service will handle it within 5 minutes

Maintenance Tool Recommendations

There are several utilities in ipipgo's developer suite:

1. IP health monitoring dashboard (real-time display of survival rates)
2. Early warning system for traffic consumption (automatic alerts for low balance)
3. Intelligent Route Selector (automatically matches fastest routes)

Finally, a little trick: every Wednesday morning to clean up the local IP cache, this time ipipgo's server load is the lowest, the success rate of IP replacement can be increased by 40% or so. Don't ask me how I know, it's their tech guy who got drunk and revealed...
