Mainland IP: Precise positioning settings for Mainland IP

Why is the positioning of mainland IP always off?

Recently, a friend who does e-commerce complained that, obviously using a proxy IP, the background statistics of the customer's address is still jumping around. In fact, this matter is like using navigation.Normal proxy IPs are like fuzzy localization, showing you a general area would be good. Want to be accurate down to street level? Gotta use a professional service with geo-fencing capabilities.

To cite a real case: a chain restaurant brand to do regional promotions, the results of the agent IP positioning deviation led to coupons sent to the wrong city, a direct loss of 30,000 promotional fees. This thing shows thatIP location accuracy directly impacts business decisions, not just any agent.

What parameters should I look for when choosing a proxy IP?

Three core indicators are taught here:
1. ASN code(equivalent to IP ID)
2. Base station positioning data
3. IP History Trajectory

For example, ipipgo's static residential package comes with detailed profiles for each IP:

{
  "IP": "221.13.214.xx".
  "Operator": "China Unicom",
  "Positioning Accuracy": "50 meters range",
  "History": ["Beijing Chaoyang", "Shanghai Jing'an", "Guangzhou Tianhe"]
}

Hands-on Setting of Positioning Fences

Take the ipipgo backend operation as an example:

1. Login to the console - Create Geofence
2. Draw polygonal area on the map
3. Set up IP binding rules:
   - Automatic switching within 500 meters radius
   - Alarm immediately when exceeding the range
4. Generate API access code

pay attention toTurn off roaming on mobile base stationsOtherwise, the IP may automatically jump to neighboring cities. A customer is not pay attention to this detail, resulting in the IP positioning of Shenzhen is always drifting to Dongguan.

Frequently Asked Questions First Aid Kit

Q：What if my IP shows up in Pudong but is actually in Songjiang?
A: Priority is given to static residential IPs, the positioning error of dynamic IPs may be up to 10 kilometers. ipipgo's static packages support manual calibration, and the error can be controlled within 500 meters.

Q: What should I do if I need to maintain multiple positioning points at the same time?
A: Using their API polling feature, you can set it up like this:

import requests
proxies = {
  'http': 'http://user:pass@ipipgo.cn:3000',
  'https': 'https://user:pass@ipipgo.cn:3000'
}
response = requests.get('http://ipinfo.io', proxies=proxies,
  headers={'X-Region-Code':'310112'}) Region Code Parameters

Why do you recommend ipipgo?

They have one.Cold Start Compensation MechanismSpecial practical: new users of the first 3 times the positioning failure, the system will automatically compensate for double the traffic. The actual test compared to a number of service providers, in Shenzhen Nanshan District, such as signal complex area, ipipgo positioning accuracy can be up to 92%, 15 percentage points higher than the industry average.

They just recently went live.Base Station Fingerprint LibraryFunction that recognizes different signal sources in the same geographic location. For example, in a multi-story building such as Wanda Plaza, it can accurately distinguish the location of Uniqlo on the 1st floor and the movie theater on the 3rd floor, which is particularly useful for offline store data analysis.

The last reminder, don't be cheap to buy those IPs sold individually. a customer bought 10 IPs with a unit price of $3, but the result is that 8 of them are second-hand recycled, and the positioning data is still stuck in half a year ago. The first thing you need to do is to choose a ipipgo.pay as neededs, use as much as you want, and you can always freeze the IP to prevent serialization.
