Where is the bottom line for residential IP compliance collection?
To put it bluntly, collecting residential IPs is like conducting research in front of someone's neighborhood; you have to figure out what you can do and what you can't touch. According to the Cybersecurity Law and the Personal Information Protection Law.There are just two things at the core: no touching of real people's private data, and no interfering with normal network services.The following is an example of how to collect public information. For example, it's fine to collect public e-commerce prices, social media trends and other public information, but it's stepping on the red line if it's associated with specific user identities through IP.
Three Practical Tips for Compliance Capture
First move:Control request frequency. It is recommended that a single IP not more than 15 requests per minute, with random intervals to simulate the operation of a real person. For example, do not crawl the data with a machine gun like wild requests:
import random
import time
Randomize the delay from 1 to 5 seconds
time.sleep(random.uniform(1,5))Second move:Disguising real equipment. Take a different User-Agent with each request, and don't let the target site see the clear crawler signature. You can prepare a txt file to store dozens of browser identifiers and randomly retrieve them each time.
Third move:pairwise proxy type. Dynamic residential IP pools are closer to real people's online behavior than data center IPs. Dynamic residential packages like ipipgo's automatically switch different regional IPs for each request, with a starting price of $7 for 1G is enough for small and medium-sized teams.
Service Provider Selection Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls
There are many on the market that claim to do residential IP, but true compliance has to be based on these three things:
| norm | Compliance Standards |
|---|---|
| IP Source | Operators work directly with and reject blackmail channels |
| Protocol Support | Support at least HTTPS encrypted transmission |
| warranty | Able to provide an authorization letter for the scope of IP usage |
Like our ipipgo's static residential package, each IP has the qualification of carrier authorization, which is especially useful when doing cross-border business. There is a customer who does overseas real estate data monitoring, using 35 yuan/month fixed IP with whitelist settings, perfect solution to the target site's anti-crawl mechanism.
Hands-on configuration tutorial
As an example, a Python crawler extracts IPs using the ipipgo API:
import requests
API key from the console
api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/get?key=你的密钥&type=dynamic"
def get_proxy():
resp = requests.get(api_url)
return f "http://{resp.text}"
Example of use
proxies = {"http": get_proxy(), "https": get_proxy()}
response = requests.get("destination URL", proxies=proxies)Frequently Asked Questions QA
Q: How to choose between dynamic and static IP?
A: need to change IP frequently choose dynamic (such as grabbing a limited number of goods), need to fix the identity of the authentication choose static (such as long-term social account)
Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked when collecting?
A: First check whether the request frequency is excessive, and then switch to a different proxy package. ipipgo's enterprise version of the dynamic residential support for multi-protocol rotation, specializing in a variety of anti-climbing
Q: Which package is suitable for individual developers?
A: First use the standard dynamic residential, $7.67/GB pay-as-you-go without waste. Wait for the business to stabilize and then switch to a monthly package, and you can still negotiate customized prices for large volumes
Tell the truth.
The water in this business is quite deep, and some service providers sell server room IPs as residential IPs. Teach you a verification method: use the ipipgo client to connect to the proxy, open theThis site.Look at the ASN information to see if it's labeled as an ISP (Internet Service Provider), which is the characteristic of a true residential IP.
Lastly, I would like to remind all bosses that compliance capture is not a technical issue but a legal one. Instead of trying to study how to bypass the restrictions, it is better to use regular proxy services honestly. Like we have a price comparison software customers, with ipipgo's TK line with the compliance strategy, half a year the number of users doubled three times, this is the lasting play.
