In regards to web scraping, the types you\u2019ll need to strive to avoid are those that <strong>return intentionally false data<\/strong> once activated. This could potentially ruin your entire dataset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These honeypots are typically <strong>HTML links<\/strong> that regular users wouldn\u2019t ever go to. This is because they are hidden. Therefore, the only ones accessing them are bots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To ensure that your bot doesn\u2019t fall for these honeypots, there are two things to have it check for and intentionally avoid when <strong>dynamically following links<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If the text color of a link is identical to its background<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If the link has the CSS attributes visibility:hidden or display:none<\/strong> within its link styling.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019re set to steer clear of those, your bot is much less likely to go somewhere it shouldn\u2019t. This only really applies when the bot is coded to find links of its own accord, though. If you\u2019re giving it <strong>direct URLs <\/strong>to scrape, you don\u2019t need to bother coding in if checks for these scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The next step is to <strong>hide the bot\u2019s identifiers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_2_%E2%80%93_Mask_the_Bots_Digital_Fingerprint\"><\/span><strong>Tip #2 &#8211; Mask the Bot\u2019s Digital Fingerprint<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from stumbling onto honeypots, there are a lot of other <strong>signs of bot-ness<\/strong> you must avoid when outsmarting anti-scraping techniques. If a site notices<strong> several requests coming in rapid succession from one source<\/strong>, that\u2019s a huge red flag. The site identifies that source by its IP address as well as its <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/the-risks-of-digital-fingerprinting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital fingerprint<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Digital fingerprints<\/strong> are the amalgamation of several small details that, when pieced together, yield a unique result. A few of those aspects are:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The brand and model of the device<\/strong> sending the request.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What web browser it is using<\/strong>, including the version number, any customized settings, and what addons it\u2019s running.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The device\u2019s OS<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>What fonts the device has installed<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two things you can do to mask this information. First, use a <strong>headless browser<\/strong>. Second, <strong>rotate both user agents and IP addresses<\/strong> with every request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Headless browsers don\u2019t have a <strong>Graphical User Interface<\/strong>, aka GUI. Thanks to this, they remove the settings and addon variables from the digital fingerprint. Additionally, they can greatly increase the speed of your scraper while letting it consume fewer resources while it\u2019s running.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no need for a GUI since a bot is handling everything. It\u2019s just a bunch of gains with no losses to <strong>use a headless browser<\/strong> when you\u2019re web scraping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>User agents cover the remaining digital fingerprint traces identifying the browser, OS, etc. The appropriate functions in any <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/free-libraries-to-build-your-own-web-scraper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">advanced library<\/a><\/strong> will let you <strong>send cycling or randomized information<\/strong>. This customized information will then mask the actual details of the device the bot is running off of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for the IP addresses, that brings us to our third tip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_3_%E2%80%93_Use_Rotating_Residential_Proxies\"><\/span><strong>Tip #3 &#8211; Use Rotating Residential Proxies<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As you\u2019re probably already aware, a proxy <strong>masks your IP address<\/strong> for you by presenting its own instead, among other perks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/rotating-residential-proxies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rotating proxy<\/a><\/strong> supplies regularly changing IP addresses. They\u2019ll either rotate to a new IP address upon every request or have what is called a sticky session. During a sticky session, it will stick to one IP address for a predetermined length of time before cycling to the next one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/well-paid-web-scraping-projects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scraping project<\/a><\/strong>, you may want <strong>sticky sessions<\/strong> so you can log in and have a persistent ID for a few steps. Otherwise, you\u2019d just want to rotate on each request.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Quality service providers like <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KocerRoxy<\/a><\/strong> have a configuration interface where you can <strong>pick your session type<\/strong>. Otherwise, you\u2019d have to design your bot to go through all of those IP addresses manually. That would involve significantly more work on your part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three types of IP pools that proxy IPs can come from. They are <strong>mobile, residential, or datacenter<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As <strong>mobile IPs<\/strong> are much more expensive and have lower availability, you generally only want to use them for very specific projects that explicitly require them. That leaves you needing to decide between residential and datacenter IPs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/unlimited-datacenter-proxies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Datacenter proxies<\/a><\/strong> are unfortunately detectable as being part of a proxy service. This is easily attributed to botting. Many sites may auto-block their entire subnet range as part of their anti-bot countermeasures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/residential-proxy-use-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Residential proxies<\/a><\/strong>, on the other hand, are indistinguishable from regular web traffic. Thanks to this, they are the superior option for outsmarting anti-scraping techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are confident that your target sites aren\u2019t vigilant against data center proxies, you can<strong> save some money<\/strong> by using them instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s ill-advised to gamble with the risks of using a so-called <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/the-risks-of-using-free-proxies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free proxy service<\/a><\/strong>. This is especially true thanks to the availability of thrifty and reliable proxy service providers like<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KocerRoxy<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_4_%E2%80%93_Stick_to_Appropriate_Geo-Locations\"><\/span><strong>Tip #4 &#8211; Stick to Appropriate Geo-Locations<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Those IP addresses provided by your proxy service still have <strong>locational information linked<\/strong> to them. Depending on the type of data you are scraping, some geolocations can impact your results. Some geo-locations may even result in a block, such as when trying to access Facebook from China.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Proxy service providers should include <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/geo-targeted-residential-proxy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">geo-location options<\/a><\/strong> in their configuration interfaces. For example, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">KocerRoxy<\/a><\/strong> offers the choice of mixed sources or specifically from the US, UK, DE, JP, ESP, BR, FR, IT, CA, RU, and AU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tip_5_%E2%80%93_Replicate_Human_Behavior\"><\/span><strong>Tip #5 &#8211; Replicate Human Behavior<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last, but not least, pause to consider how you usually surf the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you regularly <strong>enter the full URL<\/strong> for the specific subpage you want to view? As opposed to clicking on a link from another site, the root site, or a search engine?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course not, and your bot shouldn\u2019t either. By setting up <strong>appropriate referral sources,<\/strong> it looks like your bot naturally traversed to the target site instead of going directly to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are following links within a site, do you meticulously make <strong>every single click at a fixed time interval<\/strong>? If so, I\u2019m a bit impressed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the website won\u2019t be impressed. Instead, it will find it suspicious that you space your requests at a <strong>regular interval<\/strong>, even if they\u2019re not all from the same IP. This can lead to the site sending CAPTCHAs to all incoming traffic. Normally, <a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/guide-to-bypassing-captcha-for-web-scraping-without-making-it-worse\">avoiding CAPTCHAs altogether<\/a> is the ideal way of handling them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid this situation, ensure you set a <strong>randomized time delay<\/strong> between your requests, which is as simple as a function call. You should also set rate limits so that you don\u2019t cause a sudden traffic spike that looks questionable as well. It\u2019s also a decent thing to do, as overloading their poor servers doesn\u2019t do anyone any good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, you want to ensure your bot is sending all of its <strong>requests asynchronously<\/strong>. This optimization improves your requests per minute while also staggering when you send those requests. Thankfully, this is by default in several libraries and frameworks. Just double-check the documentation on your chosen tools to make sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One more way of outsmarting anti-scraping techniques is to appear more human-like. Thus, avoid using too many search operators at once. During natural use, you might use a few. But it\u2019s suspiciously rare to use several simultaneously. Even if you think it\u2019s just a normal Tuesday evening when you look up: Even if you think it\u2019s just a normal Tuesday evening when you look up various pieces of information, consider how many queries you\u2019re actually performing in a short span of time. This subtlety can help you blend in with typical user behavior. Furthermore, by strategically managing your requests and <a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/multiprocessing-for-faster-scraping\/\">speeding up web scraping with multiprocessing<\/a>, you can increase efficiency while maintaining a more human-like interaction with the site. Ultimately, the key is to balance your activity to avoid drawing unwanted attention while still achieving your scraping goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(meatloaf AROUND(5) recipe) \u201ceasy\u201d (best OR classic) intext:bacon -turkey -youtube -vegan -vegetarian -plantbased -oat -diet -lowfat -healthy -music -album -musician -celebrity -actor -vocalist<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t built your scraper script just yet, there are a lot of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/kocerroxy.com\/blog\/free-libraries-to-build-your-own-web-scraper\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">free libraries<\/a><\/strong> out there for programming your own.
