  • Bypassing Cloudflare and ModSec checks
    1 project | /r/changedetectionio | 21 Oct 2022
    CloudFlare is really good at blocking bots. Try a residential proxy (or host it at home) and change the User Agent Header. But itโ€™s really hard. There are some projects e.g. https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape but as fare as I know there are all outdated.
  • The State of Web Scraping 2022: The Good, the Bad, the Ugly
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 12 Jan 2022
    I'm scraping about 30 sites for work at the moment, but have a few that are using Cloudflare which has been a b*tch to deal with. Tried numerous libraries and different proxy providers, but reliability is patchy. Previous fixes like https://github.com/Anorov/cloudflare-scrape don't seem to work anymore after Cloudflare updates, so I've switched to using a pretty optimised headless browser with good proxies instead.
