Grabbing LinkedIn data: LinkedIn proxy collection anti-blocking solution

Why do I always get blocked for LinkedIn data collection?

Recently, many friends doing foreign trade complained to me that the crawler often triggers the wind control when grabbing LinkedIn customer profiles. Last month, a buddy changed three accounts in a row, and the result was all marked as abnormal by the system. This matter is franklyIP address exposes machine behavior-such as high-frequency visits from the same IP, cross-border logins, and request patterns that are too obvious.

Take a real case: a cross-border e-commerce company uses a U.S. server to connect directly and grabs 500 pieces of data per day. The first three days are fine, the fourth day directly received a warning email from LinkedIn. Later they switched toDynamic Residential AgentsThe survival cycle is directly extended to more than 2 weeks by spreading the requests to real user IPs in different regions.

Proxy IP how to help you "stealth" operation

Here's a misconception to correct:Not just any agent will do.The first thing you need to do is to use a residential proxy to disguise a real person's visit. I've seen people take data center IP hard just, the result is half an hour to be blocked.LinkedIn's wind control mechanism will especially identify the IP segment of the server room, this time you have to use a residential proxy to disguise as a real person to visit.

Recommended for ipipgoDynamic Residential AgentsThe package, at $7.67/GB is considered very affordable in the industry. Their IP pool covers more than 200 countries, which is especially suitable for cross-border data collection. For example: if you want to capture information about a German enterprise, you can specify a residential IP in the Frankfurt area and automatically replace the export address for each request.

import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020',
    'https': 'http://user:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:9020'
}

response = requests.get('https://www.linkedin.com/company/xxx', proxies=proxies)

Anti-blocking practical three-piece set

We recommend this combo based on the programs we've tested:

1. IP rotation strategy

Don't be stupid and use a fixed IP, set the IP to change every 5-10 requests. ipipgo's API supports automatic switching by number of times, remember to add random delays (0.5-3 seconds) in the code.

2. Browser fingerprinting simulation

It's not enough to just change the IP, you have to change the User-Agent, time zone and language settings. We recommend using a tool like undetected-chromedriver.

3. Anthropomorphization of patterns of behaviour

Don't capture the whole point on time on time, set the random operation interval. Capture more during the day Monday through Friday, and reduce requests appropriately on weekends

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I still salvage data after being blocked?
A: Immediately deactivate the current IP, change to a new account + static residential IP login. ipipgo's static residential package is $35/month, suitable for making accounts to raise the number of

Q: How do I choose a package for enterprise-level data collection?
A: the average daily request volume of 100,000 recommended selection of dynamic residential enterprise version, $ 9.47 / GB support for a higher number of concurrency, comes with automatic retry function request failure

Q: How do I break the CAPTCHA when I encounter it?
A: Don't tough it out! Immediately switch IPs and reduce the frequency of collection. You can work with coding platforms, but the cost will soar, so it's better to control the rhythm of requests

These details make the difference.

Recently helped customers debugging found a detail: many people ignore theCookies management. It is recommended to clear local cookies every time you change IP to avoid correlation history.

There's also a flirty maneuver - with ipipgo'sTK line agentDo the backup channel. When the main channel IP is restricted, it automatically switches the dedicated IP pool, which is measured to reduce the probability of 30% blocking.

Final reminder: don't be greedy for more and faster! Control the daily collection volume within the platform tolerance. We have tested out a safe threshold of no more than 200 requests per day for new accounts, and older accounts can be appropriately relaxed to 500.
