Best Practices for Using Proxy with Scrapy: How to Avoid Getting Blocked?

Using proxy with scrapy can be a pain, but here’s what I do:

- Rotate proxies every 5-10 requests.
- Set a random delay between 3-5 seconds.
- Use a mix of residential and datacenter proxies.

I’ve had good luck with Smartproxy. It’s affordable and works well for most scraping tasks.
