Need help with a web scrape script – any tips for avoiding blocks? or What’s the best way to optimize

Proxies are a must if you’re scraping at scale. I rotate residential proxies from Smartproxy—they’re less likely to get flagged than datacenter ones.

But honestly, if your web scrape script is still getting blocked, the site might be fingerprinting your browser. Try using undetected-chromedriver with Selenium to avoid detection.

Also, keep delays *irregular*—like 3-7 secs, not fixed 5s. Sites love to catch patterns.
