High Quality Proxy Pools: A Tutorial on Building High Quality Proxy Pools

Hands down, you can save up a pool of reliable proxies

Engaged in data collection of old iron people know that there is no reliable agent pool is like riding a bicycle on the highway - simply can not run up. There are a variety of proxy services on the market, but really can carry the business needs, but also have to build their own exclusive pool. Today, how to use the services of ipipgo nagging, the whole out of a cheap and resistant to build a high-quality proxy pool.

Why does it have to be the whole agent pool?

Using a few proxy IPs alone is like fighting a guerrilla war, and may be blocked at any time. Proxy pool is equivalent to the business on thetriple insurance: Automatic IP switching to prevent blocking, intelligent scheduling to improve speed, anomaly detection to ensure stability. After the actual test with the pool, the data collection success rate can directly dry from 40% to 90% or more.

Four steps to build a practical tutorial

Step 1: Choose the right raw materials
We recommend using ipipgo's dynamic residential package as a raw material bank, his IP survival rate can reach 85% or more. Focus on these two parameters:

Step 2: Get a smart scheduler
Use Python throughout the automation script, focusing on response time and success rate metrics:

import random
from ipipgo import ProxyPool

 Initialize the proxy pool
pool = ProxyPool(api_key='your key')

def get_best_proxy().
    proxies = pool.get_proxies()
     Sort by response time
    return sorted(proxies, key=lambda x: x['speed'])[0]

Step 3: Get a loop detection mechanism
The IP quality is automatically checked every 15 minutes, and those that are scrapped are immediately replaced with new ones. Focus on monitoring these three indicators:

• Response code anomaly rate > 301 TP3T kickout
• Anyone with a speed of more than 3 seconds will be eliminated.
• Automatically replenish 20% new IPs every day

Step 4: Practical Tuning Tips
Don't panic when it comes to CAPTCHAs, try these two tricks:

1. Stuffing Real Browser Characteristics in Request Headers
2. Different time zone parameters for different IPs
3. Randomly switch HTTP/HTTPS protocols

Guidelines on demining of common problems

Q: Does the proxy pool have to be maintained?
A: It's a must! It's recommended to do full testing every Wednesday and Sunday at dawn, and just keep an eye on it with automated scripts during the week.

Q: How do I determine IP quality?
A: Remember the mnemonic:First measure the speed and second look at the code, three days must change the crop. Specifically:

• Don't want speed > 2 seconds
• Phase-out of success rate <85%
• Maximum 72 hours per IP

Q: Do I choose a dynamic or static package?
A: Ordinary business with dynamic standard version enough, need to log in the operation of the static package. If you do overseas business, directly on his cross-border line, the delay can be pressed to 200ms or less.

Tips to save your mind and energy

Lazy enough to toss it myself, just use ipipgo'sIntelligent Dispatch Service. Their TK dedicated line is tested to be 3 times faster than ordinary agents, and the old-timers who do short video data collection say it works well. New users remember to use20% off your first recharge of 100of discounts, and business users can also request a customized quote.

Lastly, don't try to buy a garbage agent cheaply. There was a brother who was greedy for cheap, the result of the collection of all the wrong data, and finally had to rework. The quality of the agent pool is always more important than the quantity!
