Presently (March 2024) anti-bots are actively applied for web data protection. Some of them with their characteristics & bypass methods might be seen here. If you are interested, take a look at some bot protected websites table. In this post we’ll share our real case experience with fighting CloudFlare proection.

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.
Today, I’ll share of a Dicord server 1 and server 2 that accomodate a bot able to detect multiple modern scrape-protection and scrape-detection means. The server’s channels with the bot are #antibot-test
and #antibot-scan
respectively

Recently we encountered a new powerful scraping service called Web Scraper IDE [of Bright Data]. The life-test and thorough drill-in are coming soon. Yet now we want to highlight its main features that has badly (in positive sense, strongly) impressed us.
Here we come to the next anti-scrape tool, called CloudFlare, former ScrapeShield.

The CloudFlare app has been developed by CloudFlare to guard a site’s content. Its features are limited number, but it’s still an interesting tool to look at for anyone interested in web scraping.
