api proxy: API proxy interface development and docking practice

Teach you to play with API proxy docking!

Recently ran into an e-commerce friends trolling, said they climbed the competitor's price is always blocked IP. this scene I am familiar with ah, directly dumped to him ipipgo API documents, the next day received his red packet thank you. Today take this real case, talk about how to use the proxy IP interface to develop practical functions.

import requests

def get_proxy(): api_url =
    api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?format=json"
    resp = requests.get(api_url).json()
    return f"{resp['protocol']}://{resp['ip']}:{resp['port']}"

 Example of use
proxy = get_proxy()
print(requests.get("http://example.com", proxies={"http": proxy, "https": proxy}).text)

This code is just a few lines long, but it hides threePoints for avoiding pitfallsThe first one is: 1) don't choose the wrong protocol type (http/https should be corresponding) 2) don't leave out the port number 3) release the IP in time after using it. before there is a buddy continuously using the same IP request by the target website to pull the black, froze for three days to find out that it is not change the IP.

Parameter tuning has its tricks

The ipipgo API supports a variety of parameter combinations, here are two recommended real-world configuration options:

In particular.cross-border rail lineParameters, must be added for overseas business&region=usThis kind of geographical limitation. Before helping a certain overseas game company to configure TK line, latency directly from 300ms down to 80ms, player turnover rate immediately dropped 15%.

Guidelines on demining of common problems

Q: What can I do if I can't connect to the returned IP?
A: First check the whitelist settings (the console can see the current IP), then try againtelnet ip portTest manually. If that doesn't work, use the?debug=trueParameters for detailed diagnostic information

Q: What should I do if my traffic consumption is abnormal?
A: 80% of the time, it doesn't matter about the unified proxy! It is recommended to specify the proxy explicitly in the code, do not use global mode. A customer monthly consumption of 2000G traffic, finally found that the company's intranet monitoring program to go to the proxy ...

Q: What if I need a lot of fixed IPs?
Go directly to their customer service to openStatic Home PackageThe 35 bucks per month is really not expensive. Last time there is a social customer to 200 fixed IP number, with this program cost more than half than the competitors to save.

Don't be selective when choosing a package

The ipipgo package looks like a lot, but really just remember three things:

• Dynamic Standard for Testing ($7.67/G)
• Enterprise Business Select Dynamic Enterprise Edition ($9.47/G with QoS guarantee)
• Fixed demand directly on the static version

One last tawdry maneuver: their1v1 customizationYou can mix different packages. I have seen a public opinion monitor, the dynamic IP and static IP mixed by 7:3 ratio, both to ensure coverage and cost control, this game I do not tell the general public.

If you get stuck in the docking process, go directly to the official website to look for cases, sample code in common languages are readily available. If you can't figure it out, you can find the technical customer service, the reply speed is much faster than some big factories, don't ask me how to know...
