Proxy IP API call documentation: with Python / Java / PHP multi-language code samples

Teach you to call the proxy IP interface.

Engaged in data collection friends know that the proxy IP this thing is like playing the game equipment, no it simply can not play. Today we take ipipgo API to give a chestnut, teach you three minutes to get the interface docking.

 Python Example
import requests

def get_proxy(): api_url =
    api_url = "https://api.ipipgo.com/dynamic/obtain"
    params = {
        "key": "Your API key",
        "country": "us",
        "protocol": "socks5"
    }
    response = requests.get(api_url, params=params)
    return response.json()['proxy']

How to choose dynamic vs static IP

The difference between these two is like taking a taxi and renting a car: dynamic IP is suitable for short-term tasks, the price is cheap and sufficient; static IP is suitable for long-term hang-ups, stable and not tossed.

A practical guide to avoiding the pit

Having seen too many people fall into the pit, these are three minefields to avoid:

1. Don't use the public proxy pool.Nine times out of ten, those free IPs are blacklisted.
2. Don't switch too often.: It is recommended to keep the session at least 5 minutes in length.
3. Remember to handle exceptions: Add a retry mechanism and a timeout setting to the code

// Java example
HttpClient client = HttpClient.newBuilder()
    .proxy(ProxySelector.of(new InetSocketAddress("Proxy IP", port)))
    .build();

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
    .uri(URI.create("Destination URL"))
    .timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10))
    .timeout(Duration.ofSeconds(10)); .build();

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: What should I do if my IP suddenly fails?
A: Add an automatic retry mechanism in the code, ipipgo's interface supports batch acquisition of spare IPs

Q: What if I need high concurrency?
A: Use their Enterprise Edition package, which supports 100+ requests per second, and remember to set reasonable request intervals!

Q: How is billing cost-effective?
A: short-term projects choose to pay by volume, long-term use directly on the monthly package, can save 30% or more!

Choosing the right package is important

ipipgo's packages are designed to be more user-friendly and give a few recommended combinations:

• Beginner's Taste: Dynamic Residential Standard Edition, 10GB Traffic Package Enough to Test the Waters
• team effort: Dynamic Residential Enterprise Edition with Exclusive IP Pool and API Prioritization
• high-end player: Static residential + cross-border dedicated line combination, suitable for the need for long-term stable IP scenarios

Finally said a cold knowledge: their technical customer service 24 hours a day online, encountered technical problems directly dump code over the test than Baidu good to make. The next time you encounter a decline in the recognition rate of the verification code, do not rush to change the code, first change the IP try, there may be a surprise.
