Anyone Else Experiencing Scrape Failures Unknown? What’s Going On?

Same issue here. Scrape failures unknown started happening out of nowhere. I think it’s because of stricter bot detection on some sites.

I’ve been using a tool called ScrapingAnt, and it’s been a lifesaver. They handle all the proxy and headless browser stuff, so you don’t have to worry about it. Also, try adding some random headers to your requests—it can help avoid detection.

Thanks for all the suggestions, y’all! I tried switching to Bright Data’s proxies and it’s been way better so far. Still getting a few scrape failures unknown, but way less than before.

I’m gonna give Puppeteer with stealth plugins a shot next—seems like a lot of you are having success with that. Also, thanks for the tip about random delays. I’ve been blasting requests too fast, so that’s probably part of the issue.

If anyone else has more tips, keep ‘em coming. This thread’s been super helpful!
