Asynchronous crawlers and short-term proxies: a tool to improve efficiency

When performing asynchronous crawlers, using short-term proxies is an effective strategy that can help improve the efficiency and speed of crawler programs. The following is a discussion on asynchronous crawlers and short-term proxies:


Advantages of asynchronous crawlers

Asynchronous crawlers are a concurrently executed crawler mode that can process multiple requests at the same time and improve the efficiency of data collection. Through asynchronous crawlers, system resources can be fully utilized to speed up data acquisition and processing.


Characteristics of short-term proxies

Short-term proxies refer to proxy IPs with a short validity period, which usually expire after only a period of use. Using short-term proxies can reduce the risk of IP being blocked while maintaining the anonymity and stability of crawler programs.


Combination of asynchronous crawlers and short-term proxies

Combining asynchronous crawlers with short-term proxies can bring the following advantages:

Concurrent processing of requests: asynchronous crawlers can send multiple requests at the same time, while short-term proxies can help achieve rapid rotation of requests and improve the efficiency of data collection.

Reduce the risk of being blocked: Due to the characteristics of short-term proxies, the risk of being blocked by websites can be reduced, and the stability of crawler programs can be protected.


Manage short-term proxies

When using short-term proxies, the following management aspects need to be considered:

Change proxy IP regularly: Change the short-term proxy IP address regularly to avoid being identified as a crawler by the website.

Monitor proxy IP status: Regularly monitor the availability and stability of short-term proxy IPs, and adjust the proxy IP address in time to ensure normal access.


By reasonably combining asynchronous crawlers and short-term proxies, you can improve the efficiency and speed of crawler programs, reduce the risk of being blocked, and provide better support for data collection and analysis.
