puppeteer-extra VS FlareSolverr

You could use https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra/tree/master/packages/puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth A plugin to escape anti bot detection

There is a good chance that the website is using Cloudflare to block web scrapers, which will require you to use a fortified headless browser to solve the JS challenges. Your options include the Puppeteer stealth plugin and Selenium undetected-chromedriver.

There are even Puppeteer plugins that will do it for you. [^1]

The best detection I've come across so far (i.e. before this release) has just required I run headless Chrome in headed mode. Granted, I don't do a ton of scraping -- mostly just pulling data out of websites so that I can play with it in aggregate using more civilized tools.

You didn't know? https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra/wiki/Block-resources-without-request-interception

As for solutions, you are on point. Running a headless browser or using a web scraping API that does that for you (I work at one: https://scrapfly.io hi) is the easiest way to do it. Note that because of javascript fingerprinting you still need to fortify your headless browsers with various scripts like puppeteer-stealth.

Unfortunately, it's now trivial to bypass recaptcha: https://github.com/berstend/puppeteer-extra/tree/master/packages/puppeteer-extra-plugin-recaptcha

Use a fortified headless browser like the stealth plugin for puppeteer.

What i didnt tried: - scraping and using these (single page) tokens - headless browser - web-test-frameworks like selenium (programmable browser) - using Flaresolver (my best bet) https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr . A headless browser / proxy developed to bypass cloudflare. You can easily deploy it onprem with docker. I know google got its own defence machanisms, but i've got very good experience using it for scraping and crawling (at least cloudflare protected) websites. So i guess its very good at pretending being a normal browser, being a normal user.

Prowlarr & Flaresolverr to handle indexers for Radarr/Sonarr.

In terms of rate limiting and IP bans there is always that possibility on a VPN and it does happen but that's the great thing about VPNs is you can always just swap servers. On an automated server like a nas, a server restart will take care of this issue but of course until that happens some indexers may have issues. But the great thing is we have things like flaresolverr now which can mitigate these rate limit and captcha issues with various websites and I highly recommend people take a some time to set it up. How I see it if you are using a residential IP that never changes, the risk of rate limiting or IP bans becomes more of an issue because it is longer lasting or permanent. So in my opinion the security and privacy benefits of a VPN outweighs the possibility of some minor hiccups.

https://github.com/FlareSolverr/FlareSolverr Had to do a fair bit of debugging to find the code level changes, but you just have to update two sections.

You could also use a Cloudflare bypass tool like FlareSolverr, which is a proxy server you can use to bypass Cloudflare and DDoS-GUARD protection.
