Wow, thanks so much for all the advice, everyone! This is super helpful. I think I’m gonna ditch the free proxies and go for a paid service like Bright Data or Smartproxy.
I tried spacing out my requests and randomizing headers like some of you suggested, and it’s already working way better. No more instant blocks!
Quick follow-up: anyone have tips on handling CAPTCHAs? I’ve been running into them more often now that I’m scraping a bit more aggressively. Any tools or tricks you’d recommend?
Cheers again, you guys are awesome! 🍻
