Hey everyone,
I am building a custom scraper for a real estate directory, but their Cloudflare protection is giving me a headache.
Standard Selenium with undetected-chromedriver is getting blocked after a few hundred requests, even with premium residential proxies.
Are you guys having better success with Playwright, or should I switch to a request-based scraper using scrapfly/zenrows APIs?
Appreciate any insights from veterans who deal with heavy scraping daily.
 
My business involves heavy daily web scraping. The best solutions right now are nodriver and zendriver. They have no issue with scraping FB Marketplace on just a few dozen residential proxies. Nodriver/zendriver gets through cloudflare turnstile (the "are you human?" checkbox) very easily, but you would still need a captcha solver if the site presents one to you.

If those libraries don't work for you, double check that your proxies are being rotated correctly in your app code. It's best to use a forward proxy like squid that can round robin your requests evenly across your proxies. That way your app just connects to the proxy and doesn't have to manage any connection-related state. You can also filter out images and CSS at the proxy-level and that cut save you 90% on bandwidth.
