Why does overseas data collection always fail? You may have stepped on these three potholes
Many people in overseas business will find that obviously the code is written without problems, but the data collection just fails frequently. This situation is often not a technical problem, butAnti-crawling mechanisms at work on target sites. Common scenarios include:
1. Single IP high-frequency access is directly blocked
2. Data center IPs identified as bots
3. Requires specific regional IP to access data
For example, when an e-commerce company needs to collect the price of U.S. goods, it uses a fixed IP to make continuous requests, and as a result, access is restricted in less than 2 hours. At this time, it is necessary toProfessional Proxy IP Serviceto break through the bottleneck.
Residential Proxy IP: the closest option to real users
Traditional server room IPs are easily recognized by websites as crawlers, and ipipgo provides theResidential Proxy IPfrom real home network devices. Like your neighbor in New York accessing a website, this IP has three core advantages:
comparison term | Server Room IP | Residential IP |
---|---|---|
anonymity | easily recognized | real user level |
success rate | Approx. 30-50% | 90% and above |
Area Accuracy | Country level only | City-level positioning |
ipipgo's 90 million+ residential IPs cover 240+ countries and territories, and are especially suited for those who need toprecise positioningThe scenario. For example, to collect business information of local businesses in Berlin, Germany, the most accurate data can be obtained by using local residential IPs.
The secret of flexible dynamic/static IP switching
Depending on the acquisition needs, ipipgo offers two mode options:
dynamic rotation scheme::
- Automatic change of IP address per request
- Suitable for high-frequency acquisition scenarios
- Effective avoidance of restrictions on the frequency of visits
Static fixed mode::
- Maintain the same IP online for a long time
- Ideal for collections that require login retention
- Supports all network protocols
When a travel platform collects hotel room data, it first uses dynamic IP to obtain list information and then switches static IP to complete the booking process simulation, which successfully improves the collection efficiency by 3 times.
Practical tips: three steps to improve the collection success rate
1. IP warm-up strategy: Newly acquired residential IPs first visit regular web pages (e.g., news sites) to build normal user profiles
2. Request frequency control: mimics human operating intervals, with random delay settings between 3 and 8 seconds
3. Failure auto switch: Set to automatically change IP within 0.5 seconds when encountering 403/503 status code
With ipipgo's intelligent routing function, the optimal nodes can be matched automatically. Empirical tests show that after using these techniques, the success rate of a financial data company's U.S. stock collection increased from 67% to 92%.
