Why do you recommend ipipgo?

To tell you a personal experience: before using other agents always encounteredip blocked,slowThe situation. Later on, I switched to ipipgo's dynamic residential proxy, mainly because of two things: one is that his ip pool is large enough (90 million +), and the other is that it supports theCity-level positioningThe data collection success rate is directly doubled. When doing localization business, you can accurately get the ip of Shanghai, Guangzhou and these specific cities, and the success rate of data collection is directly doubled.

Their static residential agent is more suitable for the need for long-term stable ip scene, such as hanging number. Recently the new TikTok solution is also quite bull, with the dedicated line they give with the synchronization script, the single number of playback from a few hundred directly rushed to 10w +.

Lastly, a reminder: buy packages based on the amount of business to choose, small-scale testing with theDynamic residential (standard)Enterprise-class data collection directly onDynamic Residential (Business)Package. Don't be cheap and buy a low-end package, when the ip quality is not good instead of delaying things.
