Hey! Using proxy with scrapy is a game-changer, but yeah, it can be confusing. I’d suggest starting with a simple setup first—just one proxy—and then scaling up to rotating proxies.
For handling IP bans, I use a combination of user-agent rotation (check out `fake-useragent` library) and proxy rotation. It’s not foolproof, but it reduces bans significantly.
Also, if you’re stuck, Scrapy’s community forums are super helpful. I’ve found answers to most of my questions there.
