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

23 Replies, 1469 Views

Great tips! I’ve been using proxy with Scrapy for a while, and one thing I’d add is to use a headless browser like Puppeteer or Selenium for sites that are heavy on JavaScript. It’s not always necessary, but it can help you blend in better.

For proxies, I’ve had good results with Smartproxy. They’ve got a solid mix of residential and datacenter IPs, and their API makes it easy to integrate with Scrapy.

Oh, and don’t forget to use a VPN as a backup. Sometimes even the best proxies fail, and having a VPN can save your scrape.
