Data Documentation Specifications: Proxy Data Documentation Standards

What the hell is wrong with proxy data documentation? Hands-on teaching you to avoid the pit

The old timers who are engaged in data collection should understand that proxy IP'sIf the data files don't make sense.The later maintenance can make people crazy. Last month there is an e-commerce brother, because the agent log did not remember clearly, confused with the effective IP and invalid IP, directly burned more than two thousand dollars of traffic costs.

Four core fields that must be figured out

Proxy data files are not for you to write essays, they have to follow rules that a machine can recognize. Focus on these three table headers:

{
  "ip": "123.45.67.89",
  "port": 8080,
  "protocol-type": "HTTP",
  "expiration time": "2024-08-01 14:00:00"
}

Special reminder:The protocol type must be capitalizedI've seen people write "http" which causes authentication to fail. It is recommended to limit the input with a drop-down menu and not to trust manual input.

Journal entries should be like bookkeeping

A good memory is better than a bad one, and a proxy usage log has to be done:

The IP that found the 403 status code is going toMark Red Notes Now, don't wait until the end of the month to reconcile your accounts to find out what's wrong.

Tips for saving money with ipipgo

Our own product ipipgo's API is the most reliable to use this way:

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, timeout=10)

Focused attention:Passwords don't die in the code., use environment variables instead. Seen programmers upload their passwords to GitHub and get 500G of traffic.
