People who do crawling must be familiar with dynamic proxy IP. Dynamic proxy IP can help crawlers bypass the website's anti-crawler mechanism by constantly switching IP addresses, thereby successfully crawling a large amount of data information, significantly improving crawling efficiency, and effectively avoiding being blocked due to frequent website requests. However, sometimes when we use dynamic proxy IP, we will still be blocked due to some inappropriate operations, so we still need to pay attention to the following matters to help us improve crawling efficiency.
Things to note when using dynamic proxy IP for crawlers
1. High-quality and stable IP quality: Before using a dynamic proxy IP, be sure to verify the quality and legality of the IP. It is best to choose a reliable proxy IP service provider to ensure that the IP provided is stable and high-quality. This is the most basic basis for successfully carrying out crawler business.
2. Randomness setting: The advantage of dynamic proxy IP is that it constantly switches IP addresses to avoid being detected as crawler behavior. Therefore, to ensure the randomness of the proxy IP, the switching of dynamic proxy IP is generally divided into manual and automatic. It is best for crawlers to set reasonable switching frequencies and rules by themselves to prevent being identified as abnormal access by the target website.
3. Monitor access frequency: Too frequent access can easily attract the attention of the target website and even lead to IP blocking. Reasonable setting of crawler access frequency and simulation of real user behavior can help avoid the risk of being detected.
4. Change proxy IP regularly: In order to ensure stability, it is necessary to change proxy IP regularly. Some proxy IPs may become invalid due to overuse. Regular changes can keep the crawler running smoothly and avoid interruptions due to IP unavailability.
5. Simulate real user behavior: In order to better disguise as a real user, it is crucial to simulate user behavior, including simulating the clicks, scrolling, and dwell time of real users, so that the crawler's behavior is closer to that of normal users and reduces the probability of being blocked.
7. Reasonably set the crawling depth: Different websites have different tolerances for the depth of crawling. Therefore, according to the rules and policies of the target website, the crawling depth should be reasonably set to avoid unnecessary pressure on the website.
8. Comply with robots.txt rules: When crawling data, crawlers must comply with robots.txt rules, which is an industry standard for web crawlers. Make sure your crawlers do not access content that is explicitly prohibited by the website to maintain a harmonious relationship between the crawler and the crawled website.
Using dynamic proxy IP for crawling business is a technical job, which requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Legality verification, random setting, monitoring access frequency and other aspects are all key to ensuring the normal operation of the crawler. I hope everyone can make better use of dynamic proxy IP and achieve ideal results.
