Hey everyone,
Anyone else having a tough time with cloudscraper lately? I’ve been trying to bypass some sites, but it feels like the anti-bot measures are getting way more aggressive.
I’ve tried tweaking the headers and delays, but no luck so far. Anyone got tips or workarounds? Or maybe even alternatives to cloudscraper that are working better rn?
Also, is it just me or does cloudscraper seem a bit hit-or-miss these days? Sometimes it works fine, other times it’s like hitting a brick wall.
Would love to hear if others are facing the same issues or if I’m just doing something wrong lol.
Cheers!
Hey, I’ve been having the same issue with cloudscraper lately. It’s been super inconsistent for me too. I’ve found that rotating user agents and adding random delays between requests helps a bit, but it’s still not perfect.
Have you tried using a proxy pool? That’s been a game-changer for me. Also, check out undetected-chromedriver or selenium-stealth as alternatives. They’re not as lightweight as cloudscraper, but they’ve been more reliable for me recently.
Yo, cloudscraper has been a pain for me too. I switched to using requests-html with some custom headers, and it’s been working better for bypassing anti-bot stuff.
Also, try adding some random mouse movements or click simulations if you’re using a browser-based solution. It makes the traffic look more human.
Cloudscraper has been hit-or-miss for me as well. I’ve been experimenting with Puppeteer-extra and the stealth plugin, and it’s been way more consistent.
Another thing to try is spoofing TLS fingerprints. Some sites are now checking for that, and cloudscraper doesn’t handle it well.
I feel you, cloudscraper has been a headache lately. I’ve been using a combo of playwright and some custom headers, and it’s been working better for me.
Also, try using residential proxies instead of datacenter ones. They’re pricier, but they make a huge difference with anti-bot systems.
Cloudscraper has been super unreliable for me too. I’ve switched to using aiohttp with some custom middleware to handle retries and delays. It’s not as straightforward as cloudscraper, but it’s been more effective.
Also, check out the anti-detect browser tools like Multilogin or GoLogin. They’re not free, but they’re worth it if you’re dealing with aggressive anti-bot measures.
Same here, cloudscraper has been a mixed bag. I’ve been using a mix of selenium and fake-useragent to get around some of the issues.
Another tip: try randomizing your request intervals and adding some junk data to your headers. It’s not foolproof, but it helps.
Cloudscraper has been a nightmare for me too. I’ve been using scrapy with rotating proxies and custom middleware, and it’s been working better.
Also, check out the browser fingerprinting tools like fingerprintjs. They can help you understand what the sites are detecting and adjust accordingly.
Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone! I tried rotating proxies and adding random delays, and it’s definitely helped a bit. Still not perfect, but better than before.
I’m gonna give Puppeteer-extra a shot next since a few of you mentioned it. Has anyone had luck with it on sites that are super aggressive with their anti-bot measures? Also, any tips on handling TLS fingerprinting? That’s something I haven’t tried yet.
Cheers!
I’ve been having the same problems with cloudscraper. I’ve switched to using httpx with some custom headers and it’s been more reliable.
Another thing to try is using a headless browser with a stealth plugin. It’s slower, but it’s been more consistent for me.
