What is the use of enabling http proxy: HTTP proxy function application analysis

What exactly does the HTTP proxy do for you?

Recently, a friend asked me, said I see a lot of technical documents are mentioned in the http proxy, this thing in the end what practical use? To give a realistic example, as you shop online with a different shipping address to avoid being limited by merchants, http proxy is to help you give the network request for a "shipping address". For example, with ipipgo's dynamic residential proxy, each request can be changed to a real residential IP, much more reliable than those room IP.

The real use of the scene revealed

Let's start with a few grounding applications:

1. Continuous flow of data collection: Being a crawler is the most afraid of IP being blocked. Last week a price comparison software old man said, with ordinary IP collection of e-commerce data, 10 minutes to be blocked. After switching to ipipgo's rotating proxy, it automatically switched to 200+ IPs per hour, and ran for 3 days in a row.

2. Account Matrix ManagementThe same IP login multiple accounts must be sealed. Before a cross-border e-commerce friends, with a static residential agent to each store binding independent IP, account survival rate directly doubled.

 Python example - using ipipgo proxy
import requests

proxies = {
    'http': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
    'https': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}

resp = requests.get('destination URL', proxies=proxies)

What are the doors to look for when choosing an agent?

There are all kinds of agency services on the market, so remember these three key points:

Special mention of theirTK LineIf you are doing overseas business, you should know that some regional lines are particularly stuck. Last time I helped my friend to test it, the delay was reduced from 800ms to less than 200ms after using a dedicated proxy.

Guide to avoiding the pit

Don't buy a pheasant agent on the cheap! Previously, some customers used a free agent in order to be cheap, and as a result:
1. Crawl data identified by counter-crawl
2. Bulk account blocking
3. Even traffic hijacking

Serious business is still to choose ipipgo, a service provider with real carrier resources, their customer service can check the ASN information of a certain IP to ensure that it is a clean residential IP.

Lastly, I would like to remind you that nowadays, many proxy service providers play with price sets. For example, the price tag is low but forced to buy traffic packages, or limit the number of concurrency. ipipgoDynamic Residential PackageIt's real billing by volume, use as much as you need, especially suitable for small and medium-sized teams.
