Japan Crawler Proxy IP | Japan Rakuten API data collection IP configuration guide

Core demand scenarios for Japanese crawler proxy IP

There are two issues to focus on when using a Japanese local proxy IP to collect Rakuten API data:Real Japanese residential IP addressrespond in singingStable connection speed. Rakuten's anti-crawling mechanism recognizes overseas IP requests, and direct access using offshore servers may result in API interface speed limitation or blocking. With ipipgo's Japanese residential proxy IP, you can simulate the Japanese home broadband network environment to ensure that each API request comes from a real residential IP in a different region.

Proxy IP type selection strategy

Select the agent type based on the frequency of data collection:

Dynamic IP pool support for ipipgoSwitch IP on requestmaybeTimed IP switchingTwo modes, set the automatic switching rules in the crawler script can effectively avoid anti-climbing detection. Static IP is suitable for API interface calls that need to maintain the session state.

Japan Rakuten API docking configuration

Sample code for configuring the ipipgo proxy in a Python crawler:

import requests

proxies = {
  "http": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.co.jp:端口",
  "https": "http://用户名:密码@gateway.ipipgo.co.jp:端口"
}

response = requests.get("https://api.rakuten.co.jp/v1/items", proxies=proxies)

Note the substitutionuser ID,cryptographicrespond in singingportsparameter, it is recommended to write the proxy authentication information into the environment variable. When testing, first use a single IP request to confirm connectivity before enabling the automatic switching function.

Three points of request frequency control

1. When using a proxy IP, you still have to comply with the rate limit of the Rakuten API (usually 3-5 requests per second)
2. Setting in the crawler scriptstochastic delay(0.5-3 seconds)
3. Proactively switch to a new IP and extend the wait time when a 429 status code is encountered

Frequently Asked Questions QA

Q: Connection timeout occurs when Japanese proxy IP accesses Rakuten API?
A: Check if the proxy terminal address is usedJapan Regional Gateway(gateway.ipipgo.co.jp), some areas need to specify a dedicated access point in Tokyo or Osaka

Q: How to verify if the proxy IP is effective?
A: via ipipgoIP Detection InterfaceIn the code, output the currently used IP address and geolocation information to confirm that it matches the target area.

Q: What should I do if the resources of the dynamic IP pool are insufficient?
A: ipipgo's Japanese residential IP pool coverage47 prefecturesThe 90 million+ IP resources support on-demand expansion, and the IP availability rate of each region can be viewed in real time through the console.

Exception handling program

The following steps are recommended when experiencing API response exceptions:
1. Immediate suspension of the request in the current thread
2. Switch to a new IP address to re-establish the connection
3. Check the Japanese language setting in the request header (Accept-Language: ja-JP)
4. Contact ipipgo technical support forUpdated list of available IP segments
