With the development of network technology, more and more people are beginning to use crawler technology to collect data on websites. However, in order to limit the access of crawlers, many websites use various methods to prevent crawlers, one of which is to use proxy IP. This article will introduce the method of using proxy IP to collect data.
1. Types of Proxy IP <br>Proxy IP can be divided into two types: highly anonymous proxy and transparent proxy. Highly anonymous proxy can hide the real IP address of the client, but still display the IP address of the proxy server; while transparent proxy will completely expose the real IP address and HTTP request of the client to the target server.
2. How to use proxy IP
1. Self-built proxy IP pool <br>Self-built proxy IP pool is a common method. You can buy some proxy IPs and then form a proxy IP pool. In the crawler program, you can call the proxy IP module to replace the proxy IP, thereby bypassing the IP blocking of the target website. This method requires a certain amount of investment, but it can guarantee the quality and stability of the proxy IP.
2. Use a free proxy IP
There are many free proxy IP websites on the Internet. Most of the proxy IPs provided by these websites are unstable and slow. However, if you just want to do some simple data collection, you can also use these free proxy IPs. It should be noted that the quality of these proxy IPs cannot be guaranteed and you need to test and screen them yourself.
3. Use a paid proxy IP
The quality and stability of paid proxy IPs are much better than free proxy IPs. You can choose some well-known paid proxy IP providers and choose different proxy IP packages according to different needs. The price of paid proxy IPs is relatively high, but it can guarantee the efficiency and success rate of data collection.
3. Notes on using proxy IP
1. Avoid using transparent proxies <br>Transparent proxies expose the client's real IP address, so they are not recommended. If you must use a transparent proxy, it is recommended to choose some well-known providers and pay attention to testing and screening.
2. Pay attention to the geographical location of the proxy IP <br>When using a proxy IP, you need to pay attention to the geographical location of the proxy IP. If the data you need to collect is for a certain region, then you need to select a proxy IP in that region. Otherwise, the collected data may be inaccurate.
3. Avoid using proxy IP too frequently
If you use the proxy IP too frequently, it may be blocked by the target website. Therefore, when using the proxy IP, you need to pay attention to the frequency of changing the IP and the frequency of collecting data. If you find that some proxy IPs are blocked or unresponsive, you need to change them in time.
4. Pay attention to security <br>When using proxy IP, you need to pay attention to security. Avoid using some unsafe proxy IPs, such as proxy IPs that are not encrypted or have too simple passwords. At the same time, you also need to pay attention to protecting your personal privacy and do not use some proxy IPs that will expose your personal privacy.
