Hey! I’ve been there—trying to scrape website data and getting blocked every time.
What worked for me:
- Using residential proxies (Smartproxy is decent).
- Randomizing headers with fake-useragent in Python.
For ethics, just ask yourself: "Would I want someone scraping MY site like this?" If no, rethink it.
CAPTCHA tip: If you’re scraping a lot, maybe just accept that you’ll need to solve a few manually.
