Man, I’ve been there. Screen scraping is a cat-and-mouse game.
Some sites straight-up block headless browsers, so you gotta tweak ’em. Use Puppeteer-extra with stealth plugins.
Also, consider using a VPN + proxy combo. And don’t forget to clear cookies between sessions.
If all else fails, maybe look into reverse-engineering their API. Sometimes it’s easier than dealing with blocks.
