Dynamic Residential IP Data Collection: Information Acquisition from the Perspective of Real Users

What's so great about dynamic residential IP? Read this and you'll understand

The data collection of friends should have encountered this situation: obviously write a good code, anti-climbing strategy is also studied thoroughly, but the site is still a minute to block your IP. this time you have to move out of theDynamic Residential IPThis is a godsend, to put it bluntly, it makes the server think you're a regular user surfing the web at home, rather than a bot operating in bulk.

Take our own product, ipipgo's Dynamic Residential Proxy, there are three great things about this thing:Real life mode camouflage(90 million + real home network IPs),Flexibility in disguise(Switch between different regional IPs at any time),Cloak of Invisibility feature(Encrypted data transmission leaves no trace). Especially for cross-border business, grabbing local data with city-level positioning function is no different from local people surfing the Internet.

These scenarios are awesome with dynamic IP

1. e-commerce price monitoring: such as staring at the price fluctuations of the home platform, with dynamic IP hourly city visits, than with a fixed IP ten times more stable!
2. Social Media Analytics: To batch view users' homepages without being restricted, dynamic IP can simulate the browsing rhythm of real users.
3. Localization services: when doing data collection for takeout platforms, use dynamic IPs to disguise as users in different neighborhoods, and get accurate calculation of delivery fees.

Step 3: A practical guide to avoiding pitfalls
- Don't be so tough when it comes to CAPTCHA, go on the coding platform.
- Capture frequency is recommended to be controlled at 3-5 seconds/times, mimicking the speed of real people browsing.
- Change the exporting countries regularly every week. Don't just stick to one region.

Say something from the heart.

I've used seven or eight proxy service providers and ended up using ipipgo for a long time mainly because of theirCity-level positioningIndeed accurate. The last time I did a car quote collection, I need to get the price of 4S stores in Beijing Chaoyang District and Haidian District at the same time, and their dynamic IP can be accurate to the district and county, which is a feature that many families can not do.

Also to brag about theirtraffic billing modelUnlike some platforms that force a monthly subscription. When we do seasonal business, we can use as much as we want during the off-season and add more anytime during the peak season, so this flexibility is too friendly for small and medium-sized teams. Recently, I found that their static residential agent has added the option of billing by the day, and I can save a lot of money with this for temporary projects.

Finally, a piece of advice: do not try to buy those cheap airport shared IP, high risk of sealing not to mention, data security is not guaranteed. The formal business or to choose aPool of real-life residential IP resourcesThe service provider is a bit more expensive but it saves you money.
