Anti-crawler principle and bypass actual combat: application guide of ScrapingBypass API
August 4th, 2023

Abstract

This article will introduce the principles and common limitations of anti-crawlers, discuss how to bypass these limitations, and focus on the application guidelines of the ScrapingBypass API. The ScrapingBypass API provides a variety of functions, such as bypassing the anti-crawler mechanism, handling verification codes and blocking, etc., to help crawler developers successfully obtain the required data. Through practical cases and detailed guidelines, this article will help readers understand the principles of anti-crawlers and master the application skills of ScrapingBypass API.

With the rapid development of the Internet, data acquisition has become crucial for many applications and research. However, many websites employ anti-crawler mechanisms to restrict access to their data. This article will introduce the principles and common limitations of anti-crawlers, and how to use the ScrapingBypass API to bypass these limitations and successfully obtain the required data.

Anti-crawler principle and common limitations

  1. Anti-crawler principle: The website blocks crawler access by identifying crawler requests and taking corresponding restrictive measures. Common anti-crawler principles include identifying request header information, IP blocking, verification code verification, frequency limitation, etc.

  2. Common restrictive measures:

a. Identify request header information: The website identifies crawler requests by checking the User-Agent, Referer and other information in the request header.

b. IP blocking: The website will block frequently requested IP addresses to limit the access of crawlers.

c. Verification code verification: The website confirms that the visitor is a real person rather than a crawler by displaying a verification code.

d. Frequency limitation: The website restricts the frequency of requests from the same IP address to limit the access speed of crawlers.

Practical method to bypass anti-reptile restrictions

  1. Use proxy IP: By using different IP addresses, crawlers can simulate multiple users visiting in different geographical locations, reducing the possibility of being identified as crawlers.

  2. Random request header: Randomly generate different request header information such as User-Agent and Referer for each request, simulating requests from different browsers and operating systems.

  3. Processing verification codes: use image processing and recognition technology to automatically identify and process verification codes in websites so as to bypass verification code verification.

  4. Use delay and random operations: Simulate human access behavior, set the delay time for requests, and randomly click links, scroll pages, etc. during the crawling process to increase the stealth of crawlers.

Application Guide for ScrapingBypass API

  1. Overview of ScrapingBypass API: Introduce the basic functions and features of ScrapingBypass API, such as bypassing the anti-crawler mechanism, handling verification codes and blocking, providing HTTP API and Proxy, etc.

  2. Configure request headers and proxy settings: Introduce in detail how to use the ScrapingBypass API to set random request headers and proxy IPs to avoid being identified as crawlers.

  3. Handling verification codes and blocking: Demonstrate how to use ScrapingBypass API to handle verification codes in websites, and how to deal with restrictions such as IP blocking.

  4. Improve stability and success rate: Share some best practices of ScrapingBypass API, such as setting request intervals reasonably, using multiple proxy IPs, etc., to improve the stability and success rate of crawlers.

Through the introduction and practical guide of this article, readers can gain a deep understanding of the principles and common limitations of anti-crawlers, and learn how to use the ScrapingBypass API to bypass these limitations and successfully obtain the required data. As a powerful tool, ScrapingBypass API provides convenience and support for crawler developers, helping them to crawl data more efficiently and stably. By properly applying the functions and techniques of the ScrapingBypass API, crawler developers can better deal with the challenges of anti-crawlers and successfully complete data acquisition tasks.

Using the ScrapingBypass API, you can easily bypass Cloudflare's anti-crawler robot verification, even if you need to send 100,000 requests, you don't have to worry about being identified as a scraper.

A ScrapingBypass API can break through all anti-anti-bot robot inspections, easily bypass Cloudflare verification, CAPTCHA verification, WAF, CC protection, and provides HTTPAPI and Proxy, including interface address, request parameters, return processing; and set Referer, browse Browser fingerprinting device features such as browser UA and headless status.
