What's the point of the whole live IP change thing?
Recently a lot of anchors are asking how to change the live IP address, this thing is frankly with theGo out and change your vest.A reason. For example, if you always use the same IP to start broadcasting, the platform may give you a limited flow; or want to test the effect of different regions of the audience to watch, this time to change the IP is like changing the face of a particularly useful.
To give a real example, there is a clothing with goods anchor found in Guangdong audience order especially fierce, want to focus on pushing to the northern users. As a result, the proxy IP address cut to Shenyang, the live room suddenly flooded in a large number of northeastern iron, turnover rate directly doubled. This shows that changing IP is not metaphysics, is really able to change the distribution of traffic.
Hands on teaching you how to change live IP
Here focuses on the use of proxy IP service provider method, take our homeipipgoA chestnut example. First, register an account on the official website and selectDynamic Residential (Standard) Package, $7+ for 1 G of traffic is enough for the average anchor to use for half a month.
Python sample code (remember to replace your own API key)
import requests
proxy_api = "https://api.ipipgo.com/getproxy?key=你的密钥"
response = requests.get(proxy_api)
proxy_ip = response.json()['proxy']
print(f "The proxy IP currently in use is: {proxy_ip}")

An anchor told me that he refreshed his IP every time before he went off the air, and as a result, the platform algorithm thought he was a new anchor, and the traffic was better the next day instead.
