AWS permanent IP for outgoing requests

I'm running AWS EC2 instances with Elastic IPs, and I need to fetch data periodically from 3rd party which is limited to accept connections only from specific IP addresses. I provided them with my elastic address, however after a while the IP that my requests come from to the 3rd party has changed to a completely different one. Is it possible to have permanent IP for outgoing requests on AWS?

If you assign an elastic IP to an EC2 instance, that will be used for outgoing requests. If you are seeing something different, then there is something wrong.

Are you stopping/starting the instances between requests? The link between an Elastic IPs and an instance is dropped when the instance is stopped, and will need to be re-assigned after restarting.
