Residential Proxy Resources: Residential Proxy IP Acquisition and Setup Methods

First, what the heck is a residential agent?

To put it bluntly, it allows you to use someone else's home broadband to access the Internet. Let's say you're in Beijing and want to use a Shanghai IP address, you can do it through a residential proxy. All such IPs are assigned by real home broadband, less easily recognized than server room IPs, and are especially suitable for business scenarios that require long-term stable operation.

There are two common ways to play the game on the market now:Dynamic Residential(IPs change automatically at intervals) andStatic homes(Fixed IP for long-term use). Dynamic is suitable for data collection and other operations that require frequent changes of vests, while static is more suitable for operations that require long-term maintenance of login status.

Second, hand in hand to teach you to get a reliable agent

It's too much work to build a proxy server on your own, so it's easier to go directly to a professional service provider. Here must be amenable toipipgoThe residential IP pool of their home covers more than 200 countries, and the key point is to support direct API extraction. After registering an account, go to the console, find the "API Extraction" menu, and throw the following code into the script to get IPs automatically:

import requests

api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy"
params = {
    "key": "Your API key",
    "type": "dynamic", dynamic_home
    "count": 10,
    "format": "json"
}

response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
print(response.json())

Notice how the return result of theip:portrespond in singingaccount passwordThe two pieces of information can be used in the software. It is recommended that each time you extract not more than 20 IP, run out and then re-take, so it is not easy to trigger the wind control.
