why your scraping jobs keep getting killed?

hey guys, been killing myself tryna scrape leads from niche sites but i keep getting smashed - bans, captchas,, all that crap. Proxies arent helping so heres my take:

1/ same ip red flag - sites see one ip blasting they freak.

fix: rotate proxies??

2/ device fingerprint mess - thought incognito was smart, pixelscan says specs dont change

fix: new gear or what

3/ too fast too dumb - scraped hard, rate limited in like 5 mins

fix: slow it i guess

what you pros got? any slick tricks?

lets break it down a bit; lets say you are using python as main language for creating scraper, you have two options:

1. using requests (or similar ones) and bs4 (beautiful soup) libs,
2. using browser automation (selenium, playwright).

first option is good if you dont want to deal with browsers, in most cases performance best option, but you would need to get around headers, cookies, body posts etc. (also proxies and fingerprints) and a bit of reverse engineering required.

second option is good if you dont want to deal with things i mentioned above, just to open browser, grab and go next. it wont ask for too much resources, but then you are limited in speed (performance in general).

now depends on those two what you want to use; with browsers, you would need really strong and powerful undetectable browser like adspower (example only, there are better ones im sure) or create your own.
for proxies; you would need good ones, now this depends per site, some sites are easy to access and dont limit or track bots/scrapers and others are really strict about it, like using cloudflare which is automation nightmare. best option would be get really good proxies with rotating option (refresh every 5-15 mins).

for captcha solving, using something like anti-captcha, 2captcha or some other (im sure there are new and better ones).

ALSO: being fast and get bunch usually can and cant be problem. thing is, if you do all steps good, you would be able to scrape fast and easily.

Yo man, good breakdown. Scraping’s brutal if you don’t play it clever. Here’s my spin:

- IP play: Rotating proxies is solid, but here’s a wild trick: spoof your TTL to 64 with a quick script. Cloudflare checks that, thinks you’re a home user.

- Fingerprints: Incognito’s useless and antidetect browsers flip your specs. Multilogin’s a beast, Hidemyacc’s lighter - tried it once, worked smooth. Tweak canvas noise in settings. It really messes with detection.

- Speed: Don’t just slow things down. Make it feel human. Add random delays between 3 to 7 seconds and script in some mouse wiggles. That kind of stuff works way better.

ttl spoofing?? that's crazy! really dodge cloudflare? and canvas noise, whats that do?

echointhevoid1313 said:

Yeah, TTL’s a hidden gem. Cloudflare’s picky about packet details, so 64 makes you look legit. Canvas noise screws with pixel rendering, and sites can’t pin your fingerprint. Antidetect like Multilogin does it clean, Hidemyacc’s got it too.

This is wild. Where do you even learn this stuff?

Interesting, isn't Windows standard 128? 64 would put it more on par with Linux which would be less likely to look like a legit user.

Yeah, Windows usually defaults to TTL 128, Linux more like 64. But honestly, the goal isn't to perfectly mimic the OS. It's more about not looking like a datacenter bot. Some datacenter proxies show weird TTLs like 46 or even 255. Spoofing to 64 makes you blend in better with home users or certain mobile networks. It’s not foolproof, but it helps cut down on red flags when used with solid IP rotation and fingerprinting.

Proxies won't help if your browser is being detected as selenium or anything else. You have to fix all pieces to make sure they look different each request

There are many reasons for termination. You need to check why it was terminated in order to effectively solve this problem.
