Market Research Proxy IP Tool | Simulate Real User Behavior Acquisition

Solving Market Research Data Distortion Problems with Proxy IPs

The biggest headache of doing market research is not being able to get real data. Many platforms have anti-crawler mechanisms, and accessing with a fixed IP is easily recognized as machine behavior. When our team did competitive analysis last year, 27 accounts were blocked by an e-commerce platform for three consecutive days, and then we used theDynamic residential IP for ipipgoIt was only then that the problem was solved.

There are three key points in real user data collection:

1. Natural switching of IP addresses: General server room IPs have distinctive features, and residential IPs are closer to real users.
2. Geographic location matching: Pricing/inventory information may vary from region to region.
3. Simulation of visit behavior: Control of reasonable request intervals and operation paths

Practical tutorial: four steps to build the collection system

Step 1: Select Proxy Type
Select dynamic or static IPs according to the research scenario. dynamic IPs are suitable for scenarios that require frequent switching (e.g. price monitoring), while static IPs are suitable for scenarios that require session maintenance (e.g. login operations). ipipgo supportOmniprotocol Proxy ConnectionThe collection tools can be adapted to various collection tools without additional configurations.

Step 2: Setting up request rules

Note the setting of the random interval time (±20% float) with ipipgo'sIP auto-rotation functionTrigger frequency limitation can be avoided.

Step 3: Simulate device information
It works better with User-Agent rotation. It is recommended to create a device fingerprint library with information about different browser versions, operating systems, screen resolutions, etc. ipipgo provides theTerminal Adaptation ServiceThe IP type of the corresponding device can be automatically matched.

Step 4: Data validation
Compare whether there are differences in the data obtained by different IPs. At one point we found that the price we saw with a US residential IP was 151 TP3T lower than a local IP, which is a typical regional pricing strategy. By using ipipgo'sGlobal IP library for 240+ countries, which can be quickly verified for this type of situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What should I do if the proxy IP speed affects the collection efficiency?
A: Choosing a high-quality service provider is the key, ipipgo's residential IP average response speed <200ms, support for HTTP/HTTPS/SOCKS5 multiple protocols, the actual test can be completed in a single day 500,000 requests.

Q: How can I avoid my account being blocked?
A: It is recommended to use "1 account + 1 independent IP" mode, with the browser fingerprint isolation. ipipgo90 million + residential IP poolsSupport for assigning exclusive IP addresses to each account.

Q: What if I need to collect APP data?
A: Build a mobile access point through a proxy server, using ipipgo'sMobile Network IP ResourcesIt can perfectly simulate 4G/5G real user environment.

Core tools to break through data bottlenecks

While doing market research on an international brand, we went through ipipgo'sCity-level positioning IP, successfully collected real-time inventory data from different stores. Together with automation scripts, dynamic monitoring was realized with updates every 15 minutes, increasing efficiency by 40 times over traditional manual research.

There are three things to look for when choosing a proxy service provider: IP purity, protocol compatibility, and geographic coverage. ipipgo'sResidential IP survival rate >98%It supports customization of IP territories on demand, which is especially suitable for research projects that require precise geographical data.
