Teach you to use proxy IP to solve the problem of CAPTCHA recognition.
What's the biggest headache for crawlers? CAPTCHA is definitely in the top three! Those crooked letters, puzzle sliders, can crash the program in minutes. Today we do not talk about technical principles, directly on theThe most grounded solution-Build a CAPTCHA recognition system with proxy IP.
Why Proxy IPs are CAPTCHA Busters?
For example, if a website finds that the same IP address is frequently requested, it will immediately dump the CAPTCHA for you. Proxy IP is like giving the program to wear a "cloak of invisibility", each request for a different IP address, so that the site thinks it is a normal user access. Tested with ipipgo dynamic residential proxy, the number of CAPTCHA can be increased by more than 5 times in a single day.
Three tricks to fix the proxy IP configuration
The first tip is to pick the right type of agent:
Python Sample Code
import requests
proxies = {
'http': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口',
'https': 'http://username:password@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'
}
resp = requests.get('target site', proxies=proxies)
The second move rotation strategy to be flexible: it is recommended that every 5-10 requests automatically switch IP. the third move exception handling do not be lazy, encounter CAPTCHA immediately switch to a new IP to retry.
ipipgo practical program recommendation
Recommended configurations based on business scenarios:
| Business Type | Recommended Packages | Average daily capacity |
|---|---|---|
| Common Graphic CAPTCHA | Dynamic residential (standard) | 1-3 million times |
| Complex Slider Validation | Static homes | 5000-8000 times |
Here's a guide to avoiding the pitfalls
A common minefield for newbies:
- Don't use a data center IP, many sites will recognize it and block it!
- Slide CAPTCHA to be paired with mouse track emulation
- Pay attention to the request interval, it is recommended to randomly delay 1-3 seconds
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I choose dynamic or static for my package?
A: high-frequency requests with dynamic cost savings, the need for long-term stability of the IP selection of static. Like ipipgo's dynamic residential enterprise version, support the simultaneous binding of five IP automatic switching.
Q: What should I do if the API call always reports an error?
A: First check the authorization whitelist settings, new users are recommended to use their client debugging, visual interface can see the IP switching in real time.
Q: Will the cost be high?
A: With the dynamic standard version of $7.67/GB, processing 10,000 times CAPTCHA consumes about 0.3GB of traffic, and the average daily cost is less than 3 dollars.
special reminder
Recently found that some users deploy proxy IP and CAPTCHA recognition library separately, so the response speed will be half a beat slower. It is recommended to directly use ipipgo'sSERP API servicesIf you integrate the proxy and parsing functions into the interface, the measured recognition speed can be increased by more than 40%.
Finally said a cold knowledge: with their TK dedicated agent to deal with TikTok authentication code, the success rate can be about 92%. However, the specific parameters of the configuration to find technical customer service to program, different regions with the protocol is not quite the same.
