What exactly is the use of proxy servers in your state?
To give a real example, engaged in network crawler friends should have a deep understanding. Last week, I helped an e-commerce company in Guiyang to debug the data collection system, they used local IP to frequently visit the target website, and the result was blocked in half an hour. After switching to a proxy server in Guizhou, the collection efficiency was directly doubled by simulating the geographic location of real users.
Your proxy server is especially suitable for those who needPinpointing the SouthwestThe business scenarios: for example, verifying the functionality of local services, testing regionally restricted marketing campaigns, or e-commerce price comparison needs like I encountered. But be careful not to try to use a free proxy, those IPs have long been blacklisted by major websites.
Hands-on IP Proxy Configuration
Here we take our ipipgo dynamic residential agent demonstration, first register an account into the user center, find the API extraction portal. Suggested selectionHTTPS encryption protocol, security is several notches higher than HTTP.
Example of a Python request
import requests
proxy = {
"http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口",
"https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口"
}
response = requests.get("destination URL", proxies=proxy)
If you are doing a crawler project, it is recommended to configure it like this in Scrapy:
settings.py
DOWNLOADER_MIDDLEWARES = {
'scrapy.downloadermiddlewares.httpproxy.HttpProxyMiddleware': 400
}
In a specific request
yield scrapy.Request(
url, meta={'proxy': ''}
meta={'proxy': 'http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.com:端口'}
)
Look for these doors when choosing a package
ipipgo's agents in your state are divided into three main categories, let's make a table to compare:
| typology | Applicable Scenarios | billing method |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic residential (standard) | Short-term data collection, batch registration | 7.67 Yuan/GB/month |
| Dynamic Residential (Business) | Long-term automation business | 9.47 Yuan/GB/month |
| Static homes | Scenarios requiring a fixed IP | 35RMB/IP/month |
There is a pit to be reminded: account management must not use dynamic IP, or the platform detects frequent changes in IP directly blocked. This time you have to choose a static residence, although more expensive but stable.
Practical experience of stepping on the pit
Last year for a travel platform to do hotel price monitoring, encountered a typical problem - proxy IP sometimes can not connect. Later found that their code did not retest mechanism, it is recommended to use the following program:
import random
from retrying import retry
@retry(stop_max_attempt_number=3, wait_random_min=1000, wait_random_max=5000)
def safe_request(url).
proxy = random.choice(proxy_list) pool of proxies from ipipgo
return requests.get(url, proxies=proxy, timeout=15)
And a cold knowledge: mobile network and Unicom network outlets are different in your state. If the target site is carrier-aware, remember to check the carrier-specific option in the ipipgo backend.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What should I do if I use a proxy IP and it becomes slow?
A: 80% of the IP is the target site speed limit, in the ipipgo console there is a"Intelligent Switching"Function, set the response time more than 3 seconds to automatically change IP, pro-measurement can improve efficiency 40%
Q: What if I need to use both domestic and foreign agents?
A: Their homecross-border rail linePackages can be mixed, just add a country_code=CN in the API parameters. But pay attention to business compliance, do not touch sensitive areas
Q: How come the IP I just bought was blocked immediately?
A: Check if the request frequency is too high, it is recommended to add random delay in the code. ipipgo's"Flow Control"Function can set the maximum number of requests per second, newcomers are recommended to set 3-5 times / sec.
One last rant, don't transfer sensitive data at a proxy server. Although ipipgo has encrypted transmission, but when it comes to payment information and so on, it is best to go through a direct connection. After all, it's always good to keep an eye on security.
