E-commerce product capture: proxy IP configuration in the e-commerce data capture

E-commerce data capture those pits you use the right proxy IP?

Do e-commerce friends know, competitor price monitoring, product details collection of these activities, no data is equal to the blind man feeling the elephant. But many newbies just get started on the heel - either by the site blocked IP, or data capture is not complete. Here the doorway is actually in the proxy IP configuration.

I. Why is your crawler always blocked?

E-commerce platform anti-climbing mechanism is much smarter than we think, to cite a chestnut: the same IP access to the page 20 times in a row, the system directly to you labeled "robot". Last year, there is a mother and baby products customers, with their own office network to capture data, the results of the entire company IP segment was a platform black, delayed half a month of business.

That's when it's time toProxy IPs for cover.The principle is like letting different "vests" do the work for you. However, the market agent service is uneven, choose the wrong car as usual.

Second, hand to teach you with proxy IP

Here's an example of ipipgo's Dynamic Residential Proxy (this package of theirs is over $7 for 1G of traffic, which is enough for newbies):

import requests

 API link from ipipgo backend
proxy_api = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy?key=你的密钥"

 Get the proxy IP
def get_proxy():
    res = requests.get(proxy_api)
    return res.text.strip()

 Crawling example
def crawl_product(url):
    proxy = {
        
        'https': f'http://{get_proxy()}'
    }
    headers = {'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64...)'}
    try: response = requests.get(url)
        response = requests.get(url, proxies=proxy, headers=headers, timeout=10)
        return response.text
    except Exception as e.
        print("Crawl error:", e)

Note the three main points:

1. Change IP for each request (with dynamic proxies)
2. Request header to look like a live browser
3. Control the frequency of visits, not too intensive

III. Agent selection guide for different scenarios

IV. Questions and Answers for Older Drivers to Avoid Pitfalls

Q：Why was I blocked even though I used a proxy?
A: check three points: 1. IP replacement frequency is enough 2. whether there is a browser fingerprint 3. is not used in the data center IP (e-commerce platforms are most annoyed by this)

Q: How to solve the slow response of proxy IP?
A: Prioritize local carrier resources. Like ipipgo'sTK LineSpecializing in e-commerce scenarios, latency can be squeezed down to less than 200ms.

Q: How do I choose a package with a limited budget?
A: Take the dynamic standard version first to test the water, remember to set up the background in ipipgoIP Survival Time(30 seconds recommended), which saves traffic and is not easily exposed.

Fifth, choose the service provider to see these doorways

There are so many agency services on the market that it's hard to tell, so let's teach you a few hard indicators:
1. Look at the IP source (residential IPs are safer than server room IPs)
2. Measurement of success rate (direct pass below 90%)
3. Check protocol support (must have socks5)

There are several advantages to ipipgo like we use:
- Ability to specify city-level IPs (useful for capturing regional pricing)
- Support socks5 encrypted transmission
- Automatically upgrading bandwidth for regular customers during the early morning hours (a hidden benefit many people don't know about)

Finally nagging sentence: do not try to cheap with free agents, last year, a customer greedy cheap, the result of climbing to the data are all competitors fake fake price, loss of more than 100,000 advertising costs. Professional things or to ipipgo such regular army, after all, they have more than 200 countries of the resource pool backing.
