Financial data collection agent: exchange API high-frequency access program

Why do I need a specialized proxy IP for exchange API high frequency access?

The biggest headache in financial data collection isAccess frequency limitationFor example, an exchange API specifies that a single IP can request data up to 3 times per second. For example, the API of an exchange stipulates that a single IP request up to 3 times per second, but the actual business may need to collect data 20 times per second. At this time, if you use a fixed IP hard punch, light is blocked interface privileges, or lead to the account being locked by the wind control.

Last year, there was a real case: a quantitative team used 10 server IP polling to capture data, and as a result, all the IPs were labeled as anomalous traffic within three days. Later they switched toDynamic Residential Proxy IP Pool for ipipgo, which has been running stably for more than half a year by automatically switching real home network IPs.

How to choose between Dynamic Residential IP vs Static Data Center IP?

Many newbies tend to confuse these two agent types:

For exchange API access, theIt is recommended to prioritize dynamic residential IPsipipgo's pool of residential IPs covers 240+ countries and regions worldwide, and each IP comes from a real home network environment, making it much less likely to be recognized as machine traffic.

Three Configuration Tips to Improve Capture Efficiency

Here we share the real-world solutions that our clients have verified:

1. Smart rotation strategy:Instead of simply switching IPs by time, dynamically adjust them according to the response status of the exchange. For example, when a 429 status code (too many requests) is received, the IP change is immediately triggered.

2. Concurrent request control:Although you can break through the single IP limit with a proxy IP, you should also pay attention to the overall concurrency. It is recommended to follow the formula:Total concurrency = Number of available IPs × Frequency allowed per IP. Assuming 100 IPs, each allowed 3 times/second, total concurrency should be kept under 300 times/second.

3. Strategies for geographical preferences:Through ipipgo's IP location function, prioritize the use of IPs in the same region as the exchange server. for example, to collect data from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, batch call residential IPs in the central region of the United States.

Three potholes that must be avoided

We find these high frequency issues when working on client cases:

1. IP purity is lacking:A customer previously used a free proxy, and as a result, the IP of 60% has been blacked out by the exchange. ipipgo's residential IP pool has strictQuality screening mechanismsThe company will test whether it has been tagged by mainstream exchanges before entering the warehouse.

2. Protocol configuration error:Some exchange APIs require the WebSocket protocol, while many proxy providers only support HTTP. ipipgoFull Protocol SupportThe characterization is particularly critical here.

3. IP replacement is too frequent:One team set to change 1 IP per second, but instead triggered the anti-climbing mechanism. It is recommended to adjust according to the tolerance of the target site, usually5-30 minutes of single IP usageIt's safer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often can I reuse the same IP?
A: It is recommended that the interval of 12 hours or more, ipipgo's IP pool has 90 million + resources, basically do not need to repeat the use of the

Q: What should I do if my IP is blocked?
A: Immediately add the IP to the blacklist in the ipipgo console, the system will automatically replenish the new IP, the whole process does not exceed 3 seconds

Q: Do I need to maintain my own IP pool?
A: Not at all, ipipgo providesAutomated IP pool managementThe features include automatic replacement, quality monitoring, blacklist filtering, etc.

By reasonably configuring the proxy IP solution with ipipgo's professional services, it is completely possible to realize 7×24 hours of stable data collection. Recently they have newly launchedAPI Intelligent Routing FunctionIt is recommended that teams with HF access needs focus on testing this feature, as it can automatically match optimal IP resources.
