When accessing any CloudFlare protected page Cloudflare’s Turnstile process begins. This system, which serves as an alternative to traditional CAPTCHAs, helps determine whether the user is human or a bot. Upon opening the page in an Incognito Mode, the user encounters a waiting room after successfully solving the Turnstile challenge.
Proxies vary significantly in their types and features, serving different purposes in data scraping and web access. They function as intermediaries between data scraping tools and target websites, offering anonymity and helping distribute requests to evade detection by anti-bot systems.
In the post we’ll share on what might be used in case residential proxies are blocked with a target server.
Web scraping has become an essential tool for many businesses seeking to gather data and insights from the web. As companies increasingly rely on this method for analytics and pricing strategies, the techniques used in scraping are evolving. It is crucial for scrapers to simulate human-like behaviors to avoid detection by sophisticated anti-bot measures implemented by various websites.
Understanding the importance of configuring scraping tools effectively can make a significant difference in acquiring the necessary data without interruptions. The growth in demand for such data has led to innovations in strategies and technology that assist scrapers in navigating these challenges. This article will explore recent developments in tools and libraries that help enhance the functionality of web scraping procedures.
We’ve succesfully tested the Web-Scraper-API of Oxylabs. It did well to get data off the highly protected sites. One eg. is Zoro.com protected with Akamai, DataDome, CloudFlare and ReCaptcha! See the numerical results here.
I’ve described my initial experience with Zyte AI spiders leveraging Zype API and Scrapy Cloud Units. You might find it here. Now I’d share more sobering report of what happened with the data aggregator scrape.
Recently we discovered a highly protected site — govets.com. Since the number of target brand items of the site was not big (under 3K), I decided to get target data using the handy tools for a fast manual scrape.
Recently i was challenged with getting Linkedin group memebers info. The challenge made me to seek some ways to
Here is a video where I try to catch all Linkedin group members through endless scroll**, I having to be a member of the group.
The real speed is ~1 person/second though.
Sometimes you need to click on the “Scroll more results” button or even just hover the mouse over this button.
**The post on how to start infinite scroll in the browser… But this JS code from the post does not help to replenish the page… Only when there is a focus on the browser tab/page, the script continues loading data again.
Over 7.59 million of websites use Cloudflare protection, 26% of
them are among the top 100K website worldwide. As Cloudflare
establishes itself as the norm regarding service protection, chances are, the site you want to scrape is more likely to use it than not.
When it comes to scrapping websites, captchas and other type of
protections were always the main obstacle in providing reliable data collection solutions. And most often this would lead to consider bypass services which aren’t always free.
Selenium comes with a default WebDriver that often fails to bypass scraping anti-bots. Yet you can complement it with Undetected ChromeDriver, a third-party WebDriver tool that will do a better job.
In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Undetected ChromeDriver with Selenium in Python and solve the most common errors.
