Private Data API: Private API Data Acquisition Tutorial

Hands-on with private APIs to capture data

Everyone who does data collection should understand that many websites now regard data as more important than life. This is the time to rely onproxy IPto act as a "cloak of invisibility," especially with thePrivate APIGetting exclusive IP resources is definitely ten times more reliable than public proxies. Today we will take ipipgo's service as a chestnut to teach you how to safely and efficiently glean data.

Why does it have to be a private API?

Public proxies are like a big pot of rice, anyone comes to have a couple bites. Last time, a buddy used a free proxy to crawl data, and his account was blocked to the point where he didn't even recognize his own mother. The best thing about private APIs is thatone family with a unique houseThe IPs assigned to you are not used by anyone else. ipipgo's private API supportInstant extraction + automatic switchingIt works like your own faucet, you can turn it on and off when you want.

import requests

 Example of an API call to ipipgo
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
    "key": "Your proprietary key",
    "count": 10,
    "protocol": "socks5"
}

response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
proxy_list = response.json()['data']

Three application scenarios in practice

1. e-commerce price comparison: Disguise a real user with a residential IP, remember to set the3-5 minute switching cycle

2. account name maintenance: Static Residential IP Binding Exclusive Device, Perfect Solution for Offsite Login Alerts

3. Advertisement monitoring: TK Dedicated IP line to view the effect of advertising in different regions

A Guide to Avoiding the Pit (Lessons Learned Through Tears)

- Never write a dead IP address in the code, use theIP pool rotationmachine

- Don't fight the CAPTCHA, switch to a new IP immediately!

- Higher collection success rate from 2-5am (don't ask me how I know this)

Q: Dynamic and static IP in the end what is the difference?

A final rant: ipipgo's Enterprise package has a hidden feature - theIP Quality RetrospectiveThis is a great way to find out the status of all the IPs that have been used in the last 7 days.
