How to make news crawlers 'invisible' with proxy IPs?
Do news aggregation friends the biggest headache is just collect a few hours on the target site blocked IP. a do local news integration of friends and I spit, they have to change more than 30 IP every day in order to complete the collection, the work done with the guerrillas like. In fact, this dilemma with the right method can be broken, the core is hidden in three words -anthropomorphismThe
The three axes of website anti-crawl
First of all, to find out the opponent's way, there are three main means of website anti-crawler:
Detection method | hacking method |
---|---|
IP Access Frequency Monitoring | Dynamic switching of access nodes |
User Behavioral Characteristics Recognition | Simulates real operating intervals |
Device Fingerprint Authentication | Clearing Browser Cache Traces |
One of the most difficult things to do is IP monitoring, many platforms will record "abnormal IP" and add it to the blacklist. This is when you need ipipgo'sResidential Proxy IP Pool, with their 90 million real home IPs, can make every capture request look like a regular Internet user is browsing.
Intelligent Switching of Dynamic IPs
Don't think you can rest easy with frequent IP changes, here are three key details:
- Change of pace: Set switching intervals ranging from 5-30 minutes depending on the strength of the target site's anti-crawl.
- Geographic matching: Use the IP of the corresponding city when collecting local news (ipipgo supports 300+ city locations in China)
- protocol adaptation: HTTPS-encrypted news site using a proxy channel that supports the SOCKS5 protocol
A customer case is very typical: an aggregator platform uses fixed IP to collect, and it is blocked 15 times a day on average. After changing to ipipgo's dynamic residential IP, with the intelligent switching strategy, it has been running stably for 47 consecutive days.
Three guides to avoiding pitfalls in the real world
Share a few do's and don'ts that are easy to step on:
- Avoid switching IPs at exactly the right time (easy to recognize patterns)
- Use separate IP channels for different news sections
- Pause immediately when encountering CAPTCHA, and reduce the collection frequency after switching IPs
Here's a useful tip: set up the ipipgo backend in theIP Health MonitoringWhen the response speed of an IP drops 20% will automatically replace it, which can avoid the risk of being blocked in advance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will using a proxy IP affect the collection speed?
A: high-quality agent instead of speed, ipipgo's intelligent routing technology will automatically select the node with the lowest latency, measured access speeds faster than ordinary broadband 40%
Q: What should I do if I encounter a particularly severe anti-climb?
A: It is recommended to turn on "Human Mode" with ipipgo's browser fingerprinting simulation function to automatically generate non-repeating User-Agents and Cookies
Q: Are static IPs still available?
A: For news platforms that require login, use ipipgo's static residential IP to maintain the session state, but control the single IP daily visits within 500 times
In the end, the essence of breaking through the anti-climbing is to make the machine behavior closer to the operation of real people. Using a good proxy IP this "cloak of invisibility", with intelligent switching strategy, you will find that news gathering can be as smooth as brushing the circle of friends. After all, in the eyes of the website, access requests from real home broadband is the most natural user behavior.
